A border of cottage flowers separate this picture post card cottage from the village green. Inside the cottage retains a comfortable and cosy old world feel with antique furnishings, etchings and attractive Victorian fireplaces.

Located on the green on Quay Street, Orford, the cottage has all the ingredients for a perfect seaside holiday for the family or two couples. Just 40 yards from Orford's fascinating quay, with its constant attraction of small sailing craft and yachts, and boat trips to Havergate Island and Orford Ness, there is lots to do and see whatever your age or interest.

Perhaps one of the most attractive coastal villages on the East coast, Orford retains both a fascinating 12th century castle and church. Well provided with village shop, a butchers, a fresh fish stall, craft shops, excellent restaurants and traditional pubs; everything is on your doorstep. 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.

Two good pubs - The King's Head and The Jolly Sailor - and two great restaurants - The Trinity and The Butley Orford Oysterage - within 2 minutes walk of The Cottage on the Green
