Tucked away in the quaint and quiet village of Orford lies Aspen House, a hidden architectural gem on the Suffolk Heritage Coast. Brimming with beautiful interiors, fabulous furnishings, and your very own hot tub, this is the perfect paradise to escape to and enjoy!

Aspen House is a stunning holiday home for six guests and showcases the wow factor from the moment you arrive and is carried throughout the property. Its impressive architecture, combined with a natural and calming colour palette, interspersed with pops of bright blues, pinks, and oranges in the soft furnishings and artwork, creates the ideal setting for friends and family to come together.

At the heart of this home lies the open plan living, kitchen and dining area. This light and bright room is the hub and boasts floor to ceiling full-length windows with sliding doors which lead out to the gorgeous, landscaped garden. There are three wonderful bedrooms available, and all have been perfectly put together to create a private oasis for your stay. The two lovely bedrooms on the upper floor catch a lovely glimpse of the river. Slide the doors open and enjoy morning coffee on your private balcony as the sun rises over the water and the sailing boats drift by.

If this wasn’t already enticing enough, there is a touch of luxury in the garden. Come back from a day exploring the local delights and take a dip in your very own hot tub!

The house has also has a mooring at nearby Butley Creek for guests who are bringing or hiring a boat, or wish to sail to the house.

This cottage is charming and situated in a picturesque village, making it a place I would certainly return to. However, I have a concern: if your dog sleeps in the bedroom with you, access to the premier room is not permitted. It's unclear if this policy was communicated clearly at the time of booking; perhaps "Dog Tolerant" would be a more accuratRead moree description than "Dog Friendly." Hide

This is a fantastic property in the centre of a beautiful village in the heart of the Suffolk countryside. Lovely views to the river and across to Orford Ness from the upstairs balcony, well equipped kitchen and hot tub. Perfect location for walks directly from the cottage, 2 minutes walk from the shop, bakers, butchers and pubs/restaurants. and Read morealso the castle. Also a short drive to plenty of other local sights such as Sutton Hoo, Woodbridge, Aldeburgh etc.. Was a lovely relaxing stay and would recommend. Hide

The "comfort" score was affected by the central heating not working when we arrived, so we had a freezing first night. An engineer came the next day, but it took a long time for the property to heat up. It was a shame that the holiday started like this because the housekeeper was very attentive and helpful.
