  • A beautifully updated Victorian cottage in the heart of an idyllic Suffolk village
  • With a cosy wood burner, original flooring and distinctive white brick
  • Providing cosy and welcoming dog-friendly accommodation for three guests

Property code: OC-SFLPO

Let Rex warm his fur by the wood burner after winter walks or bask in the sunshine of the garden after trips to the beach in the summer when you stay at this charming Suffolk retreat. Situated in the village of Orford, 12 miles from Woodbridge, and nestled in the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the two-bedroom cottage sleeps three guests and offers comfortable, dog-friendly accommodation with an abundance of character.

Wander into the Victorian hideaway to find a warm welcome in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Stoke up the wood burner and settle down in front of the Smart TV, while Rex curls up and enjoys a few quiet minutes after his latest adventure. Take a step down into the kitchen area to prepare the next meal for your hungry hound and humans and pull a chair up to the table here too. There is also a downstairs WC and utility room. Bid Rex goodnight at the end of each day and head upstairs to lay your head in either the double bedroom with King Size bed or the single. The family shower room is also up here. Dine outside in the pretty courtyard garden with your furry friend enjoying being close by. There is storage space at this cottage for cycles. Parking is on the road, subject to availability.

Take the time to visit English Heritage’s dog-friendly Orford Castle, built between 1165 and 1173 by Henry II and with an unusual, polygonal tower keep. Take your pal to splash in the shallows at Orford Beach or head 7 miles for a woodland walk at Rendlesham Forest. Snape Maltings, 5.5 miles away, is a unique shopping and dining destination, where Rex can join you in many of the outlets or take a boat trip with you along the River Alde.

Had a wonderful stay at The Lobster Pot which is very centrally located for all of Orfords amenities. The cottage was very comfortable and well thought out, and we found the local community incredibly friendly and welcoming which really enhanced our visit.

We have stayed at the Lobster Pot a number of times and are very happy to return for future visits. Its location is excellent - just seconds from the shop, the bakery/cafe and pub - but also very quiet. It is well furnished and very comfortable. The back garden is delightful and very pretty.

Great location for all of the villages amenities. Very comfortable, home from home. And it is dog friendly! The only thing I missed from home was the electric kettle! 'lobster Pot' provided an old fashioned singing kettle not ideal , but it did provide boiling water. Hope to be back soon.

Footboard on main bed was annoying - husband unable to sleep. We had checked photos before booking and this wasn't shown. Bathroom cabinet in very awkward position - unable to use basin without banging your head. Trip hazard in kitchen - different floor levels.

The lobster pot is lovely but the bed is too small. It is a small double (advertised as a double) for a couple who are both about 6 ft - we had to sleep in separate bedrooms :-( Please replace with a king size bed and we would return many times. Apart from that we love the place and it feels like a home Thanks Sinead

Delightful cottage beautifully restored. All mod cons for a comfortable stay. A lot of thought has been put into it, even down to the torch and umbrella by the front door! The torch was invaluable when giving our dog her last walk of the day.

Cottage more spacious than appeared on the website. Very well equipped, good quality and comfortable. We were suprised we had no problem parking (over the August bank holiday). Perfect location. Very peaceful, but very close to the excellent Community Shop, the excellent butchers, the bakers and the pub - not to forget the short stroll to the beachRead more, with the smokery and, at weekends, the shed selling local fish.
