Orford is quiet, very clean, and quite picturesque.
Orford is quiet, very clean, and quite picturesque. It has a Castle within which is a small museum, maintained by English Heritage. There is an area of outstanding natural beauty a short boat trip from the quay and the sunsets can be lovely. Their is a small chocolate shop as well as a bakery / tea rooms if you get peckish during the day. A stately church (St. Bartholomew's) sits centrally in the town. The best part is that its all within about 10 minutes walk.

Two nights by the quay is perfect for a brisk walk.
Two nights by the quay is perfect for a brisk walk. Both north and south offer an extensive circular walk. If you stay in the Jolly Sailor you can get a voucher to avoid paying for parking. Everything in the village is in walking distance and you really should walk down every single back street as you will find bakers, butchers, Chocolate shop and both Pinney's shop and restaurant. Everything is dog friendly except the cafe on the sea front (not sure why) three groups were turned away, yet it was too cold to sit outside, so that was about 10 people who didn't buy a hot drink and snack. The castle is managed by English Heritage and is well worth a one hour trip. Check before you visit as October is a month where everything starts to close down, NT trip to the Nature reserve is only weekends.

Orford is a great base for walking or cycling.
Orford is a great base for walking or cycling. Four great eating locations: The Crown & Castle, The Jolly Sailor, The King's Head and Pinney's. Outstanding seafood at Pinneys and wonderful pub food at The Jolly Sailor. Didn't try the others on this stay. Orford quay the access point for Orford Ness from Easter and English Heritage have done a fantastic job on the restoration of the castle.
Local shop and the Pump Street bakery/cafe delightful additions, plus the Meat Shed outstanding. Get your newspaper for the Town Hall 'Honesty' shed and treat yourself to Pump Street Chocolate shop.

The accommodation was great.
The accommodation was great. Really comfortable and we really appreciated the room upgrade. Food was very good and just wish we could have stayed longer. Due to time of year (November) the nearby castle was closed but the weather was good and we got some great photos.

We really liked the castle, would have loved to get out to the lighthouse, but we were there off season. Punnets was great, some really lovely gifts, and delicious oysters. Enjoyed a nice pint of Adnams in the Jolly Sailor, which was a lovely friendly pub.

A beautiful picturesque village with lots of lovely river...
A beautiful picturesque village with lots of lovely river walks, lanes to wander down, quaint cottages, amazing river views and of course the castle. Peaceful yet enough to keep your interest. Friendly locals. Great coffee shop/bakery (Pump Street Bakery), and village store, 2 pubs serving good food (dog friendly) and much more! Easy to get to surrounding areas such as Aldeburgh, Woodbridge, Southwold etc for longer stays.
The location was fantastic, as were the staff especially John on front of house. Breakfast choices were good and plentiful. Great attentive service. The whole ambience from arrival is very relaxing the bar area is also very comfortable with a great selection and reasonably priced for a hotel. We ate in the restaurant on our first evening and the food was faultless I also highly recommend the sancerre as a wine if you are a fan. Overall I would score it 9/10 and a great choice for a stay
The property was furnished to a high standard with a well equipped kitchen. The beds really were comfortable. It has a private garden with two sitting areas both with views over fields and woods. The property is a short 10min walk to the centre of Orford. We enjoyed the walk on the raised dyke which runs along side the river Ore.
The Jolly Sailor was a lovely traditional inn with a great bedroom to stay in. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the food was great. The bedroom was very well furnished and felt luxurious for one!
Great location either for walks or visiting local attractions like Sutton Hoo, Orford Castle, Orford Ness etc.
Bang in the middle of Orford.
Nice property with good facilities.
Parking next to the house off-road.
Bathroom was lovely with plenty of hot water.
Great restaurant in the village (The Butley Oysterage) if you love seafood. 1 minute walk. Some good pubs, too.
The centre of Orford is a "chocolate box" location and offers nice places to eat. It is definitely on my list for a return visit soon. In fact I may make it an annual stay. Margo's cottage is ideally situated close to the centre and the excellent fish restaurant.
The property is within a lovely quiet road in Orford village, within a short walking distance to all the village has to offer. The property easily accommodated our party, as 4 adults with 3 small dogs. The big garden and outdoor furniture was well used.
The cottage has been finished to the highest standard - from the kitchen to the bathrooms. The location on the water's edge is amazing and we loved walking into Orford to see the castle, visit the pubs and restaurants and walking along the river edge.
Such a wonderful location, the Barn was superb, really well equipped, tastefully restored and the most tranquil retreat for a long weekend. Orford was a leisurely 10 minute walk away. We could not fault it.
The staff were friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfast with a good choice. We ate dinner at the hotel on our first night which was very good. The room was clean and comfortable.
We found the Jolly Sailor to be a very comfortable, convenient and excellent place to stay. we wanted to explore Orford, the Ness and the area and it was a great base for that.
