This welcoming two-storey property, close to the riverbank, is ideal for families or friends looking for a relaxing holiday with access to Suffolk's pretty countryside and coastline. There are many circular walks along the estuary and the coastal salt marshes towards Shingle Street in the south and Aldeburgh in the north that you can join from your doorstep. Orford is an attractive village, dominated by the remains of a 12th-century castle keep - if you climb to the top, you can enjoy the panoramic views over the town and marshes.
Originally a barn, this wonderful home blends a cottage ambience with stylish and thoughtfully chosen decor and contemporary comforts that offer a home-from-home stay. Downstairs is an open-plan sitting area with plenty of natural light, plush sofas to unwind and chat and a TV for evening entertainment. The kitchen/dining area has everything you need to make meal preparation a breeze. Head upstairs and you'll find a family bathroom and two bedrooms - one super-king-size and one twin. There is an attractive shared lawned area with garden furniture to enjoy on sunny days. The lawned area is reached by a short walk around the end of the adjacent barn.
Orford is famous for the Orford Ness National Nature Reserve and Havergate Island (0.5 miles).

There is also the chance to sail or take a boat trip on the River Ore and see the land from a different perspective. The world-famous Snape Maltings (6 miles) hosts the Aldeburgh Festival. Spend some time exploring the galleries and indulge in some fine local foods. Rendlesham Forest (7 miles) is ideal for walking or cycling and for water sports or a day at the beach head nine miles to the seaside town of Aldeburgh.
