The Moorings

Conveniently located, great views. Beautifully renovated. The inclusion of a clothes dryer and an extra blanket for every bed would be most useful. Loved the fireplace and the layout of the kitchen. Many activities provided eg: kayaks, bikes, cricket bats and board games.

The moorings, Orford

One of the best appointed & well stocked holiday homes we’ve ever stayed in. Everything a family could want….games, bikes, boogie boards. Perfect location for some very much needed down time.

How's the serenity?

The house felt like a home. It was spacious, well appointed and comfortable. Though just 2 friends having quiet time out, the house would also suit an active, outdoorsy family

Fantastic home and location

We loved staying in this property, very homely and clean. Excellent location and very comfortable for our family of 4. My only suggestion for an improvement might be some fly screens :) Loved every minute of our stay and will definitely be back

Relaxed by the River

The property was great. It had everything we needed (and more). We enjoyed a paddle in the kayaks on the river just over the road, and it was easy to relax in the lovely house. Great facilities for cooking. Our 18 month old grandson enjoyed the toys and watching the rabbits. Overall, an idyllic holiday location.

Pleasant Surprise

Having not visited Orford since a child I wasn’t sure what to expect. We all loved it and didn’t want to leave. The property was so clean, sunny and warm . Perfect location to the river, beach, cafe and supermarket. Everything supplied that we needed to make our stay enjoyable. Highly recommend Orford and ‘The Moorings’.
