The house is beautiful, located in a perfect location. We had a wonderful time celebrating with friends. Property is on three floors so expect lots of stairs. Kitchen is spacious - lots of drawers and cupboards so expect to spend time finding everything, it is well stocked! Bring your own speakers for lounge as unable to use Sonos speaker.

The property is wonderfully situated in Orford with brilliant views over the river. The access is easy, although don’t drive the lane more than five miles an hour, its bumpy. There are a lot of stairs and some don’t have hand rails. There is no toilet on the middle living level where the kitchen and lounge are. You either go up to the master on-suite or down to the bathroom downstairs. The house though is very comfortable and well presented. Although we did report some issues with the kitchen equipment and the patio doors. But urgent request did get fixed by the local team quickly. The pool is massive and heated, so kids will love it. We will return next year, as it’s such a well-placed property with great 180-degree views and these are hard to find.
