Overview
Property code: OC-TGS

A romantic holiday destination for two, this stunning property is nestled within the Suffolk countryside close to the beautiful coastline. Discover windswept beaches, magnificent cliffs and a plethora of walking opportunities from your doorstep, lacing up your walking boots for coastal and countryside adventures alike. Orford (0.5 miles) is a treat to explore with its impressive beach and nature reserve, as well as a 12th-century castle keep, one of the most unusual in Britain. Sutton Hoo is a fascinating Anglo-Saxon royal burial site set amongst rural splendour 10.5 miles away, and for the foodies, you’ll have Aldeburgh (11.5 miles) within easy reach for gastropubs, cafes and tearooms. Whether you are visiting to learn about the rich shipbuilding history or are soaking up some culture at the annual literature festival, you’ll be sure to fall in love with this charming seaside town.

Bright, charming and boasting cheerful decor throughout, this attractive retreat welcomes guests with ample home comforts. Natural light pours in through the French doors, and the high ceilings add to the contemporary vibe. Step inside to find an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner that’s been thoughtfully styled, equipped with cosy seating and a TV for snuggling up and watching films. Mealtimes are a breeze thanks to the shaker-style kitchen, and you’ll even be able to entertain friends around the table that seats six. An oak staircase leads up to the king-size bedroom, which is a sanctuary after a long day. You can retire to bed with a hot chocolate, stepping onto the Juliet balcony to stargaze. Completing the property is a handy en-suite shower room, and there is an additional WC downstairs.

Outside, the small garden opens onto the surrounding farmland, providing breathtaking views in all directions. You can perch at the table and sip your morning coffee in peace, preparing for a day of exploring.

A perfect location surrounded by wildlife and with far reaching views. Clean and comfortable and very quiet! This was our second visit and we are probably going to book for 2024. Lots to do in South Suffolk. Orford has pubs, seafood, bread, meat and groceries, plus 3 good pubs. It also boasts a castle! The owners of accommodation great hosts.
