The Barbers Cottage
Overview
Fancy ditching the daily grind for a slice of Orford charm? Our sweet little two-bed cottage is your perfect Suffolk escape hatch. It's got more than enough room to swing a (small, well-behaved) cat, two cosy bedrooms to crash after a day of castle-gazing or quarrelling over the last Pump Street pastry. Perfect as a...
bolthole for two, or family fun for four and even a furry friend to tag along.
Nuzzled right in the heart of Orford, a village full of wonder and whimsy. We're talking seafood so fresh it almost winks at you, pastries still warm from the oven and quirky little shops stuffed with endearing oddities you never knew you needed (but absolutely do). To top it all off, you're just a breezy stroll from the enchanting River Ore – heaven for nature lovers and any accompanying small humans.

The Location
Orford, tucked away on the Suffolk coast, is an absolute hidden gem that’s perfect for a laid-back getaway. The village has frequently been named one of the most beautiful villages in the UK and will make you feel like you have stepped back in time, with winding streets, wisteria soak cottages, historic buildings, and a scenic riverside that’s perfect for a leisurely stroll.
The heart of Orford is its impressive castle, a towering Norman keep that's been around since the 12th century. It’s a fun place to explore, and the views from the top are simply stunning. Down by...
the quay, you’ll find fishing boats coming and going or if lucky enough to have a boat of your own, pack a picnic and head out onto the spit.
Nature lovers will adore Orford Ness, a wild and beautiful shingle spit just across the water. It’s a fantastic place for a walk, packed with wildlife and fascinating remnants of its secretive past – just remember to book your ferry ticket in advance!
In the village, you can pop into cute tea rooms, friendly pubs, a smokehouse and the renowned Pump Street Bakery. The locals are warm and welcoming, and there’s always something going on, from community events to lively festivals.
