This tranquil cottage is tucked into the historic streets of Orford and set within a magical walled garden. With views of the castle, it's the perfect combination of period features and modern styling. A sleek and perfectly kitted-out kitchen is set alongside a country-style dining area, which leads into a cosy living room fitted with plush sofas and a contemporary log burner. Bedrooms are all of a good size and super comfortable, and we're big fans of the rain showers. But the real showstopper here has to be the enclosed garden. Let the kids run free on the lawn, while you eat outside at the garden table. Along with a long drive for private parking and a rather grand pine tree providing a focal point, the outdoor space here is enough to make us envious. Within easy walking distance of Orford Castle, and loads of independent shops, pubs and cafes (as well as the beautiful River Alde), this place really hits the spot. And best of all it's just a ten-minute walk to the stunning landscape of Orford Ness.
