A charming, red brick cottage nestled in the scenic Suffolk village of Orford, this delightful abode makes a cosy hideaway. Sleeping three guests, the two-bedroom bolthole is well positioned for enjoying the shops and eateries of Orford, as well as its magnificent castle, with its polygonal tower dating back to the 12th century. From the quay down on the River Alde, reserve seats on the ferry taking you across to the National Trust’s picturesque nature reserve at Orford Ness. Plan a day out to the coastal town of Aldeburgh, 11 miles away, during your stay to spend time on the beach, browse in independent shops, boutiques and galleries, and dine out in cafes, pubs and restaurants.
Enter the cottage to discover a welcoming lounge with comfortable seating arranged around a wood burner to keep you tasty and warm as you watch TV or listen to music in the colder months. During the day, there are views through both the stable door and the window out towards Orford Castle. The kitchen/diner is a small step up from the lounge and features a good selection of appliances for you to use, together with space to prepare food and dine. A door from the kitchen area leads out to the garden. The two bedrooms are up on the first floor – there’s a king-size bed, which looks out towards the castle, and a single. A delightful family bathroom completes this property.
The delightful garden is fully enclosed, with a lawn and a patio. There is a BBQ to cook supper out on during the warmer months. A small outhouse is the perfect place to keep bicycles.
