A cottage well named; close to the water and the moorings off Orford Quay, it has views over the estuary and the sea from its fascinating 'crow's nest' second floor bedroom (reached by a ship's ladder). Do look at the beams in the sitting room, recycling at its best; the main beam is a mast from an old sailing vessel.
Cosy and comfortable Moorings has an open fire and a seaside feel about its attractive furnishings.
Within 'staggering' distance of the pub and 'tottering' distance of the quay (where there is a little sandy beach at mid and low tide) young and old can have hours of fun watching the boats and the birds on the estuary. For the more active there is walking, crabbing and of course trips to Orford Ness and Havergate Island - a chance to learn about everything from geology to war time history, bombing to birds.
Minutes from fine tea rooms, restaurants and lovely pubs, The Moorings provides a wonderful base for sailing, walking and cycling. Delightfully locatad in Orford, in the heart of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the cottage is ideal for everything from a family beach holiday to an historic tour of Suffolk's finest castles and churches. Nearest pubs The Jolly Sailor, Orford, The King's Head, Orford For lots of information on the area please look at our own online guide Visit Orford
