OUTSIDE
The Artist’s House sits in an incredibly tranquil place, just a walk across the fields from all that Orford has to offer with shops, restaurants and the river. There’s a garden at the front setting the house back from the road and a path running down to the large rear garden, bordered by fields and furnished for relaxing or al fresco dining with a charcoal BBQ (please bring the charcoal) and a chiminea so you can make the most of the lack of light pollution and enjoy the night sky.
A long private unmade road takes you to this semi-detached holiday house where you'll find a parking space within the five bar gate and ample extra places on the track if needed. Whilst the garden has a fence or hedge surrounding it and a gate to the road we cannot guarantee that dogs won't escape so please ensure you keep an eye on them.

A beautiful, spacious house in a lovely rural setting, just a short drive from the centre of Orford
This was the perfect accommodation for our short family get away. A comfortable property with everything you need, and some BEAUTIFUL artwork as well. A pleasant walk across the field takes you into the village in 10 mins, and Orford itself is a beautiful, characterful place with nice pubs and the excellent bakery and oysterage. We can’t wait to return.
The house was comfortable and had some lovely artwork on rhe walls with an accompanying book. It would be a great family house with an enclosed garden. It is a little way out from the village but has nice views and there are footpaths to Orford.
Thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Suffolk. Accommodation was great in a fabulous location. Orford is a lovely village with good pubs and places to eat. The King’s Head was our favourite pub. Overall we had a fabulous week and would happily return in the future. Thank you 🙏
Lovely cottage, great location.
A great few days in this lovely cottage. Very peaceful location, with great walks nearby and attractive towns within easy reach.
We had a wonderful few days at the Artist’s House. A beautiful house, bright and welcoming in the day and lovely and cozy at night. The location is beautiful and feels peaceful and remote, yet is only 10 minutes walk from Orford with two excellent pubs and other great shops. Recommend and we will certainly return. Jake
The house in Orford is lovely. The setting is so peaceful and away from it all, but a 10 minute walk across the field and you are in lovely Orford which has a village shop, some great pubs and a quay. We found lovely walks too. The house is so nicely decorated and has all you need, nice comfy beds, clean bathrooms, towels supplied. i cant find any fault in it and would happily stay here again!

We enjoyed staying at The Artist's House, and we always love to be in Orford. The property was spacious and comfortable and in a lovely peaceful situation. A few minor niggles...the provision of a few extra items would have been nice.
