This characterful cottage in the lovely village of Orford is a great option for couples or small families to explore the Suffolk coast and all its history. Less than 100 metres from the property is the historic Orford Castle, dating back to the 12th century with a unique polygonal tower keep that is open to visitors. The local area is known for its fine chocolate and oysters, with a number of shops and restaurants celebrating their produce. The Orford Ness National Nature Reserve is a great place to see the natural beauty of the area and spot a selection of wildlife during a visit and boat trips along the River Ore offer a view from a different perspective.

This quaint red brick cottage charms guests from the moment they arrive with a warm and welcoming living area complete with a two-seater sofa, three arm chairs and a coal effect electric fan heater. Next door is the modern kitchen/dining room where meals can be prepared and served up for all the family to enjoy. Upstairs on the first floor there is a double bedroom with a real homely feeling and ample storage. The second bedroom is a twin, with a chest of drawers and a mirror. Finally, there is a shower room with a heated towel rail.

At the rear of the property there is a small patio area with seating for up to four guests which is sheltered from the wind and a great place to enjoy a morning coffee or evening meal.

Great little cottage - very warm and homely, and in a great location too. Only between a 5-10 walk to anywhere in Orford and only 4 doors down from one of the pubs!

Lovely cottage in a brilliant location. Beams upstairs are low, so a lot of ducking is needed!!

The cottage is in a lovely location and well furnished and equipped. The bathroom is upstairs on the same level as the bedrooms and the shower is excellent.

The property is small but quaint, and having the patio outside makes a real difference.

Very cosy cottage, well-equipped and comfortable. Going in early December, the efficient heating was appreciated, as was the hose in the back yard for cleaning very muddy boots. Both Orford and Framlingham castles were closed on weekdays when we were there but the local pubs were open and we enjoyed trips to Aldeburgh and Snape Maltings.
