The space
Perfect for both summer and winter holidays; the open fire and full central heating makes for cosy evenings in and the lovely garden with garden furniture and BBQ is the ideal spot for you to relax in the summer.

Another bonus is the generous sized conservatory - a lovely place to sit and read a magazine or book (some provided by the owner), play a board game or enjoy a glass of wine. Here too you can also sit and enjoy looking out over the delightful, private, lawned garden.

Details about ORFORD
Perhaps one of the most attractive coastal villages on the East Coast, Orford retains a fascinating 12th Century Castle and Church. With a small but bespoke selection of local shops to provide your everyday provisions, craft shops, excellent restaurants and traditional pubs, Orford gives you a chance to leave the car at home. There is much to see and do at the Quay throughout the year - boat trips to Havergate Island and Orford Ness, sailing of small crafts and yachts, crabbing and fishing.

On the banks of the Ore, Orford is protected from the sea by a fascinating shingle bank, Orford Ness, which runs from Aldeburgh to the sea. Accessible by ferry, Orford Ness is now managed by the National Trust; here you can find out about this strange and ever changing landscape, the many ground nesting and sea birds nesting here or trace the mysterious history of the area's war time occupation both for secret development of radar and munitions and in the defence of Britain. From Orford Quay one can take a boat trip to Havergate Island, the first RSPB reserve and home of the Avocet.

Orford is within easy access of both Snape and the Snape Maltings Concert Hall and the seaside town of Aldeburgh, where the Aldeburgh Festival began life some fifty years ago.
