Dear Cliff G We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at Woodbridge. We agree with you that The Pavilion is a lovely space - the staff joke that it is really tough working there!

We stayed using a living social voucher. The customer service here was amazing! Very attentive. The food was to die for, would highly recommend the quail, lamb and trout but not so much the risotto or wallaby (both still nice though). For dessert the creme brûlée was amazing!
