February in Orford
Our whole family group really enjoyed our stay in Buoys Cottage Orford. The house had lots of space for us all and the children especially liked the playroom with pool table, lawn for football and firepit. Within easy walking distance were great mini store, bakery with coffee, chocolate shop and smokery. Orford Castle and Quay were a short walk away too, and walks around the coast and forests.

Wonderful relaxing cottage, with do much more!
We needed a weekend away as a family as Christmas wasnt as expected with an unexpected loss of a loved one. This cottage offered us all the cosiness we needed to be together, but space too! The kitchen is a beautiful room to enjoy together. The lounge cosy with its ligburner. Then the annex was an amazing space with its pool table. Great space for our teenagers to enjoy. Orford is such a pretty village with some nice pub's! The kings head, just 2 minutes walk away was fabulous! Lovely staff & great food! Will definitely revisit in the future!
