Location:
Church Street runs off Market Hill, the main square in Orford. Orford packs quite a punch for a small village and benefits from two fine public houses (The Jolly Sailor & The King’s Head), a smokery (Pinneys), school, two well-known restaurants (The Butley Oysterage and The Crown & Castle) as well as a thriving village shop, a butcher, a farmers’ market, a newsagent and not to mention the rather fabulous Pump Street Bakery. The close proximity to the river allows the opportunity to pursue a wide variety of water sports and Orford is particularly well known for sailing. The National Nature Reserves of Orford Ness and Havergate Island are situated in the River Ore just to the southeast of the village, renowned for its bird life. Orford is an extremely attractive village situated on the River Ore with a popular 12th century castle, a church which was used by Benjamin Britten for premieres and performances of some of his works including his Church Parables. There are 18-hole golf courses at Woodbridge and Aldeburgh.
Please note that the neighbour also accesses the garden area.

Had a great stay for 4 nights. Lovely cottage in a quiet village. Nice secluded garden. Host was very easy to communicate with.
A charming cottage in a beautiful, peaceful and central location. We had not perhaps realised quite how tiny it was and that there was nowhere to sit and eat at a table indoors. Being Midsummer we were able to eat at the small garden table as well though.
A lovely little cottage in a beautiful village. Everything we needed for a weekend away. The quay is a 10 minute walk and there are two great pubs and a fantastic bakery round the corner.
We were really happy with the cottage, it was small but perfectly formed. The parking is very easy outside. The cottage was clean and tidy with everything you would want for your stay. I have learnt that people's feet, when the cottage was built, were much smaller than modern day feet as the stairs are very shallow so take care. There are several steps up and down which was fine as it added to the character of the cottage. Orford is a lovely village with some beautiful walks. Butley Orford Oysterage was amazing, the fish the best we have ever had at a restaurant. We thought the Jolly Sailor put was very pricey, food was mediocre but the garden is lovely. All in all a lovely couple of days away.
The cottage is delightful and very well placed in the village. The interior is very cozy and tastefully decorated. The communication was faultless. I would 100 percent recommend this cottage.
We very much enjoyed our stay here. A lovely cottage and it has everything that you need during your stay. Great location, close to village shops, pubs and a bakery. There is also free accessible parking outside the property. The host was very responsive and helpful.
We had a lovely stay - the cottage was in a great location, it was well equipped and clean.
Beautiful cottage, right in the heart of the village yet still had easy parking, and your own private garden to sit in. All mod cons and amenities for comfortable stay. Comfortable bed, good shower, and quiet at night. Location is perfect - walkable to amenities, pubs, the Quay and other walking trails. Easy to get to other surrounding villages too. Very communicative host throughout. Highly recommend!
Orford is a charming coastal village with a friendly atmosphere and it’s within easy driving distance of other places well worth a visit such as Aldeburgh. The cottage has character and is well equipped (we couldn’t find any eggcups though?). The bed was comfortable too. We enjoyed our short stay (2 nights).
