Located on the edge of the village of Orford, this cabin-style home offers an endlessly relaxing stay no matter the weather or season, inviting you to unwind and relax amidst its beautiful scenery and comfortable, modern interiors. We love how this home has been designed to seamlessly transition from indoor to outdoor living with double doors in the living room leading out onto a patio area decked out with a table and chairs for alfresco dining. Whether you’re starting mornings here over coffee and fresh pastries bought locally from Orford’s centre (a ten-minute walk) or gathering for starlit dinners on balmy summer nights, you’ll love the quiet and peace that surrounds you. What’s more, you’ve got access to the patio from the inviting bedroom, and the home boasts an additional front porch – perfect for reading and sipping a glass of wine as the day passes by at a treacly pace. And, should the cooler weather set in, the wood burner and plump sofa are sure to tempt you to cosy up under a blanket. When it comes to exploring, Orford – one of the Suffolk Coast's prettiest villages – has plenty of shops and cafes to keep you occupied, not...

Home truths

    While this home is laid out on a single level, there's a step up to the front deck

    One small to medium-sized dog is allowed to stay but please do not let it on the furniture and be sure to clean up after them around the garden and patio

    You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started

    The home sits in a secluded spot next to the owners’ house but is screened by shrubs and trees

    Private parking is available for up to two cars on the front drive

    Some guests felt the mattresses were too soft

    There aren't any curtains on the patio doors, which lets light into the room early in the morning

    This is a well-loved home so there may be signs of wear and tear
