A reimagined rural property with a striking architectural exterior, situated in the historic village of Orford on the banks of the River Alde. This exquisite retreat is perfect for an intimate group gathering or family holiday with a waggy-tailed amigo in tow. History buffs and cultured canines will enjoy navigating the medieval passages of the imposing Orford Castle (within 200 metres), before sinking into the open-air hot tub (additional charges apply) and toasting with a glass of fizz.
This chic hideaway features a bespoke interior with lived-in leather details, eclectic design touches, and an earthy neutral colour palette. Step down to the property entrance then shake off muddy harnesses before venturing into the kitchen/diner. Rustle up a snack board on the glossy worktops and pour a tipple. Gather for a natter as you swirl a glass of wine perched on the wicker chairs positioned around the rustic wooden table. Follow the open-plan layout into the lounge with floor-to-ceiling windows then fire up the Smart TV with a crowd-pleasing film. As the night draws in, sink onto the seats with a sweet treat while your worn-out pup basks in the warmth of the roaring wood burner. Ascend the staircase to discover three quirky sleeping areas. On the first floor, find a colourful en-suite king with courtyard access. Continue to the second floor to access an adaptable super-king/twin with a glass-fronted balcony, and a bright en-suite king with river views. Fido can sniff in the morning wind from the balcony while you sip a brew. Play fetch on the landscaped lawn before diving into an al fresco celebratory feast.
Adventure-seekers, tail-waggers, and sea-swimmers alike are sure to delight in a retreat to the Suffolk coast. Whether you are biking through the grassy heathland from Snape Maltings (5.5 miles), braving an invigorating ocean dip with your doggy paddling friend at Aldeburgh Beach (11.5 miles), or scampering along the rugged coastal path at Thorpeness (12 miles) – there is something to tickle all tastebuds.
