As charming and as quaint as they come, step back in time at this traditional Suffolk cottage, bursting with character and sensitively preserved original features that reflect the heritage of the historic surrounding village of Orford, perfect for families and friends looking to uncover the true natural beauty of the Suffolk coastline.
After a long day exploring your surroundings, gather the gang around the generous table in the rustic dining room to soothe weary walking muscles beside the roaring electric log-effect fire whilst admiring the impressive, exposed brick period fireplace. As the evening draws in, whip up a hearty family feast in the farmhouse-style kitchen with your delicious local produce before hunkering down for the evening on the comfy sofas amongst the peaceful neutral colour palette in the light and bright lounge. When you can’t resist the call of bedtime any longer, you have three wonderfully presented bedrooms upstairs with characterful features everywhere you look that’ll send you into a peaceful snooze before tomorrow’s adventure. Soak up the last of the evening’s sunshine by dining alfresco in the enclosed patio garden.
Dominated by the remains of a medieval castle, the pretty town of Orford has never stopped inspiring artists, boasting unrivalled views across the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and offering something for everyone to enjoy, from boat trips along the estuary from the quay half a mile away to remote, serene trails through the long shingle spit of Orford Ness Nature Reserve (0.5 miles). For a traditional bucket and spade day at the seaside, head to Aldeburgh 11.5 miles away to stroll along the promenade lined by pastel-coloured 19th-century villas, grab the daily catch from the fisherman’s huts or skim stones out to sea on the pebbled beach.
