About this property

Resting in the historic village of Orford, Suffolk, Arlo Cottage has fantastic amenities and is the ideal base for a couple’s getaway. For unloading your belongings park on the road outside of this lovely terraced cottage and unpack into the variety of storage available to you, before finding the long stay parking on-road a short walk from the property. After a long journey, resting your feet in the sitting room is a must as you enjoy a cup of coffee beside the woodburning stove, a quirky blue sofa adding a pop of colour. The kitchen/diner is simply stunning, with wooden flooring and white wood panel walls, glass bi-fold doors allowing in seas of light, and contemporary décor, making this an excellent place for you and your significant other to cook together and enjoy a romantic meal for two. Arlo Cottage sports a king-size bedroom dressed in blue and black to contrast with white walls and sloping ceilings, and there is a wonderful bathroom where you can relax amongst the bubbles after a long day walking through the countryside. When it comes to alfresco dining, the courtyard will not disappoint, with a table, chairs and a barbecue for you to enjoy. Orford is a historic Suffolk village with local shops, pubs and cafes where you can grab a bite to eat before heading off to explore the stunning Orford Castle and picnic in the grounds. If you love history, then traveling a little further to the town of Framlingham to visit another spectacular castle is a must, or there is the option to head over to the coast and visit Aldeburgh, where coastal walks, many independent shops and even a museum make you spoilt for choice with activities. Indulge in the countryside of Suffolk with a stay at Arlo Cottage.

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.

    It is located right above the oven and cooking area. Everything set it off - toast, opening the oven door at all. It needs to be moved. It put us off cooking. The water was not hot enough for a shower or bath. It was only by accident that the owner had to come around due to a leak and told us to turn on the immersion . It was then hot enough but that was 2 days in. This should be an instruction in the manual. Last thing - you need somewhere to have coats and put boots etc. walking is a natural pass time in Suffolk. Maybe in the kitchen where there is space Otherwise a lovely cottage, very nicely done. The smoke alarm would put be off coming back though which is a shame Thanks

    Only criticism are that there are no drying facilities. The area is lovely and fish restaurants superb

  • Ian

    Orford is a very good base for the Suffolf coast with excellent pubs, restaurants and a really good village shop.
