Old Orchard Country Holiday Cottages

Situated in a secluded wooded setting in rural Suffolk just a few miles from the glorious Heritage coastline, these four beautifully-furnished no-smoking cottages are designed for comfort and relaxation.

Inside, each comes with stripped floors, original art and Persian rugs; outdoors, each cottage has a raised decking area for eating, drinking and barbecuing.

The cottages are set in the peaceful grounds of the owners' 70 acre farm and are reached down a private tree-lined drive.

The grounds are fully landscaped with mature trees and orchards.

The Cottages

The cottages sleep up to 4 adults (plus baby). Each features a spacious living room, country-style kitchen, and two bedrooms with either single or en suite bathrooms, with both baths and showers.

Modern facilities include dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, DVD colour TV, stereo, cot and high chair.

The Swimming Pool

Guests can enjoy a 36-foot indoor swimming pool which is heated all year round. It is open from 9am to 8pm and private swimming sessions are available by request.

Days Out

The grounds of the farm are fully accessible for rambling and nature watching, with wide wild natural field margins. In addition, the traditional market towns of Halesworth and Bungay are 5 miles away whilst Beccles, gateway to the southern Norfolk Broads and offering boat hire, lies 7 miles away.

To the East, Southwold's elegant seaside delights are a step back to a more elegant time and reflect the unchanged nature of this friendly part of Suffolk.

Other fine attractions including RSPB Minsmere, cycle hire in Dunwich, fishing, riding and golf, can all be found within a 9 mile radius of The Old Orchard.

Slightly further afield visitors can explore a number of castles, stately homes and family attractions such as miniature railways, fun fairs and country fairs.

The local shop is 1 mile from the cottages and a pub serving good food is 3 miles away (although a few serving 'beers only' are much closer!).

For the gourmet, the attractions of the area include fabulous fish restaurants such as Butley Oysterage in Orford, complete with smokeries.

For those who enjoy fine beers there is the famous Adnams of Southwold as well as St Peter's Brewery which produces tradional style beers such as 'Honey Porter' and a number of speciality beers.

Adnams also has a talent for buying wines with its own wine import business and has a tremendous reputation for its own selection of sparkling and dessert wines. A visit to the Adnams wine shop in Southwold is a must!

For kids of all ages there is nothing like a walk on the beach or crabbing at Walberswick. We could go on, we love the area so much, but believe you should find out for yourselves!
