Suffolk Self-catering Holiday Accommodation with River Views near Orford and the Suffolk Coast

Creek Cottage has perhaps the most wonderful view of any cottage in Suffolk. Wide open skies and a sweeping view of Butley Creek, this tidal estuary is home to a teeming and everchanging bird population and is one of a handful of private reserves managed by the RSPB. Guests who enjoy beautiful and historic places will appreciate a holiday on one of Suffolk's finest Victorian model Farms, managed today to preserve the ancient landscape. 

Arriving via a private road over a mile long, the cottage is accessed via a side door opening into a large fully equipped kitchen living room with a wood burner. From this room there is an additional living room “snug” and at the back of the property a bathroom and boot room with full laundry facilities. The bedrooms, also off the living room kitchen, are light and airy and the two front bedrooms have views of Butley Creek. The cottage itself was built in the 1920s for Estate workers and now offers a luxury experience for guests looking to get away from it all, but with Orford just 10 minutes away for renowned restaurants, its historic castle and Quay and traditional pubs.  Outside is a well established and maintained cottage garden, divided between lawn and flower garden, with a totally secluded “secret” seating area offering privacy and peace. The perfect spot to watch the sun go down with a refreshing drink to hand.

Ground Floor:  Guests enter through the side door into the living area.

Outside:  The outside space is a particular feature for this property; take your pick of either the charming cottage gardens consisting of well maintained mature hedges of lilac and many pretty flower beds or the vast Suffolk countryside beyond, with the Butley Creek flowing through.  There is a outside table and chairs and plenty of parking.
