    “As returning guests of many years (usually booked under I.”

    Smith), it was great to see the recent lick of paint. We also want to express a huge thank you for your superb help when we accidentally locked ourselves out, the situation was handled and resolved so quickly, which we really appreciated. ​Overall we had a lovely time, but we did want to mention a couple of maintenance points. We noticed the downstairs bed is very uncomfortable and almost impossible to sleep in, this really needs an upgrade so people can properly enjoy their stay in that ...

    Smith), it was great to see the recent lick of paint. We also want to express a huge thank you for your superb help when we accidentally locked ourselves out, the situation was handled and resolved so quickly, which we really appreciated. ​Overall we had a lovely time, but we did want to mention a couple of maintenance points. We noticed the downstairs bed is very uncomfortable and almost impossible to sleep in, this really needs an upgrade so people can properly enjoy their stay in that room too. Additionally, the downstairs toilet seat (the top lid) was broken off upon our arrival. Hoping to book next year as usual, as we love the cottage and Orford. ​Best regards,

About the location

ORFORD

Snape Maltings 5 miles; Woodbridge 12 miles;

The attractive, unspoiled fishing village of Orford is situated on the bank of the River Alde and looked over by its magnificent 12th century castle built by Henry II. The village is home to a hotel and restaurant, two pubs, village store, bakers and wonderful fish restaurant and smokehouse. Orford is surrounded by farm land and forest in an area known as the Suffolk Coasts and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Centrally located, just 12 miles from Woodbridge to the south and Aldeburgh to the north, and just 5 miles from the famous Snape Maltings complex. The village of Orford is steeped in history. Henry II commissioned a castle to be built in the 12th century which is a must see when you visit the area. Owned and maintained by English Heritage you can enjoy this wonderful 'keep' and from the top there are breathtaking views for miles on a clear day.
