Property code: OC-SFLIS

Watch Rover enjoy his Suffolk stay as much as you do when you book this inviting hideaway in Orford. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom cottage is in an ideal position for dipping paws in the salty shallows and setting tails wagging with countryside and woodland walks. There is also a delightful garden to return home to after your adventures.

Wander into this lovely holiday home, taking one step up, to find yourselves in the welcoming lounge. Light the wood burner in here on colder days to warm chilly fur. Let your contented canine stretch out while you watch TV, listen to music or challenge each other to a board game. Amble through to the kitchen/diner, which has underfloor heating, to feed your famished four-legged friend and prepare the tasty Suffolk produce you have bought for everyone else. Call them through to the table in here when dinner is ready. A utility room, where you can rinse through any damp doggy towels, and a family bathroom are also at ground-floor level. Climb the stairs at the end of each exciting day to enjoy a comfortable night’s sleep in either the king-size, or the twin bedroom which does have some restricted head height due to its characterful, sloping ceiling. Spill out into the garden on sunny days. Watch your pal play on the grass and cook lunch or dinner on the BBQ. The cottage has space for storing cycles. Parking is on the street, subject to availability.

Stroll down to the beach where four-legged visitors are welcome at any time of year, as long as you keep an eye on them near wildlife. They are also allowed to accompany you when you explore English Heritage’s Orford Castle, built between 1165 and 1173 by Henry II, and known for its unusual, polygonal tower keep.

There is a lot to like about Lismore and, as a party of 2 adults, we would like to return. The garden is pretty and properly enclosed, so safe for a dog or children! The master bedroom was lovely and the bed comfortable, however, the 2 single beds were very uncomfortable for adults. The rest of the cottage was clean and comfortable, with all the kiRead moretchen equipment I needed. There was also a dog bed, bowl and some treats for our dog. We never had any difficulty parking our car on the road outside. There are lovely walks locally and we enjoyed mooching around Orford and a few visits to The Jolly Sailor. Hide

Our second visit to Lismore Cottage, a perfect location in Orford. Cottage is well equipped with a good kitchen & bathroom. Good quality towels & bedding. Stairs are steep, but have a handrail & this was mentioned in the original information, prior to booking.

A clean and well presented cottage with lovely garden in the beautiful village of Orford. But no wow factor for us. Our fault entirely that we failed to read about the steep stairs so for one of us it proved a 5 night camping experience on a two seater sofa. Unfortunately, the weather was such that we also were invaded by (biting) flies downstairs Read moremaking our stay most annoying and unpleasant. We went home after 5 days of our 7 nights booked stay Hide

This was our first stay at Lismore Cottage. We were very pleased we chose it. Its very comfortable & cosy. The decor, soft furnishings etc are lovely. A lot of thought has been given to make it feel very homely. And the kitchen is well equipped, the large range cooker is great if you decide to cook in. We loved the fact there was a very smart cerRead moreamic water bowl for our dog, and a freshly laundered dog bed as well, including a towel. Weve never had that in a dog friendly cottage before, so were quite impressed, as was the dog!! A few things as a welcome pack, including fresh milk, and cake, a lovely touch. The garden is secluded, and was well looked after, which isnt always the case with holiday cottages. As we were blessed with lovely weather, we were able to use & enjoy the garden a lot during our stay. The cottage is on a No through road, so was very quiet, & as its set back from the road, any traffic going to the end of the road is hardly noticeable. Generally felt the villagers who live there are on the whole welcoming & friendly. And having the shop (very good), bakers (excellent) & 2 pubs all within walking distance was great. There are lots of lovely walks you can do straight from the cottage, so that is a bonus as well. We had a very relaxing & enjoyable week here, & will return again in the future. I would just add, that the stairs are quite steep, so you need to take care. (But they were perfectly manageable, just dont rush up or down them! ) Hide

Cosy, comfortable cottage in the centre of Orford. Spacious for 3 + a spaniel, who very much appreciated her own Emma Bridgewater water bowl & comfy bedding! Towels & linen top quality & a good range of kitchen utensils. Stairs to bedrooms are steep, but there is a handrail. Bathroom nice & modern. Garden at rear completely enclosed for the doRead moreg & a nice seating area. Orford is a lovely Suffolk village, with friendly locals, 2 good pubs, bakery, cafes & excellent shop. Even though a popular tourist destination, we were always able to park outside the cottage, but there is a large carpark just down the road if needed. Would certainly recommend & hope to return.

We have been going to Orford for several years, but this year our 'usual' rental had been withdrawn from the market. Lismore was a great find. V clean on arrival. It is cosy, the heating TV cooker etc do not need a PhD to work out, bed v comfy, everything we needed was there and all within 3-4 minutes walk of the quay, the pubs and the delightful ORead morerford village shop and tempting bakery. You need to know that the bathroom and loo are downstairs so for us oldies in the middle of the night, be aware. And if the party is four hefty adults, the second bedroom would be 'cosy', but fine for nippers or skinny people. Interestingly, the visitor book was full of "this is our third/fourth visit" - testimony in itself. We shall be returning. Hide
