Honey Bee House, Orford
'Honey Bee' is a wonderful single storey holiday home renovated and extended in 2022 to accommodate eight guests in the picturesque village of Orford. Arguably one of the prettiest village on the Suffolk Coast with a wealth of attractions including a Medieval Castle, quaint cottages, welcoming pubs, award winning independent shops and a picturesque quay offering river cruises.
Enjoy indoor/outdoor living in the light and airy open plan living/kitchen/dining room, ideal for socialising with friends and family at any time of the year with doors opening to the garden and a wood burner for chilly days. All four bedrooms are tastefully decorated, two with chic modern en suites in addition to the family bathroom, and bed configurations are a super-king zip and link, a king, double and twin. An added bonus is the secluded and generous garden and seating area tucked around the back making it ideal for children to run around or to enjoy a BBQ in the warmer months!
Parking for two cars and the location close to the heart of the village allows you to walk to the pub or restaurants and explore the area by foot or bike. If you want to go further afield, you're just a short drive to the beach and fashionable town of Aldeburgh; National Trust Sutton Hoo (of The Dig fame!), vibrant Woodbridge and plenty of sporting activities with tennis, golf and sailing.
The open plan living/kitchen/dining room at the heart of the house is ideal for socialising with friends and family, with doors opening into the garden so you can make the most of indoor/outdoor living in the summer months and a wood burner so you can stay cosy in the winter.
All four bedrooms are on the ground floor with a twin to your right off the entrance hall; a bedroom with super king zip and link next to it (be sure to let us know if you want twin or double configuration), and a double with en suite bathroom ahead of you. There's also a family bathroom off the hallway, conveniently located for guests in the first two bedrooms or in the reception rooms. The fourth bedroom is off the living area, furnished with a king size bed, with an en suite shower room and doors opening to the garden so you can enjoy your morning coffee in the sun.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and 3 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and an ironing board.

It was wonderfully clean and well equipped.
Positives: really clean, well equipped and tastefully decorated and furnished. Kids loved the table tennis table and provision of games. Telly had Netflix, etc. Bathrooms fab with proper showers. Beds comfy with lovely plush pillows.
Negatives: Think 5pm check in is too late. Pics misleading in that they don't show how close the bungalow is to other properties, it is tucked into a corner of a housing estate. Estate quiet and pleasant, but didn't realise its location from the blurb. Boiled water from kettle is undrinkable so a water filter is definitely needed. Also need a little sink drainer to catch all the bits. Orford itself is just lovely.
