This is a real gem of a rental! Stunning waterside location and the property is spacious and tastefully decorated. The hosts were also super helpful and flexible.

A superb property in a lovely location. We especially loved the views across the river from the terrace and the main bedroom and that we were able to walk to the quay and into the centre of the village. The pathway along the river was also accessible from close by the property. The inside of the house was attractive, light and clean and the beds were very comfortable. Orford is a beautiful, quiet village. A very enjoyable stay.

Orford is a good place to stay. If you want to visit the Ness it’s only open two days a week so book beforehand. If you want to dry your towels after a shower take an airer there is only a very small radiator in the bathroom you don’t want to put on in the summer. A coat hanger in the hall may be useful if you travel when it rains .

Quay View is a beautiful light filled cottage with a spacious dining sitting room that opens onto a safe courtyard overlooking the stunning, sunshine tranquil bay of Orford. The house is restored to the highest standard throughout and the large kitchen is fully equipped for family entertaining. All the bedrooms have en-suites, storage and light filled windows with shutters. We had the best time and would love to return again.

The location and view from the property was lovely overlooking the river and the quay so ideal for 2 boys crabbing and fishing. The photos and description were a little deceiving in terms of the proximity of all the neighbours and the very restrictive car parking arrangements at the property. The bathrooms were all tiny and were challenging rather than spacious. Sadly the metal garden furniture (now down to 3 chairs) was rusty and not ideal for a family to eat or sit on the patio together. Overall it was fine for our 3 days but perhaps not for a longer visit. We have sent a fuller report to Stay in Suffolk.

Wonderful property in an excellent location, but slightly let down by poor cleaning.

Lovely house in a lovely village. Very basic amenities like a bar of soap but apart from that no complaints. Accommodating.
