The Firs - sleeps up to 15 and is the perfect countryside retreat by Orford!

2023 DATES STILL AVAILABLE! Sleeping up to 15, The Firs is an idyllic and spacious family getaway in the heart of Suffolk's Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Offering stunning countryside views, The Firs is also situated only minutes away from the very beautiful coastal village of Orford, and just a short drive from Aldeburgh, Shingle street, Bawdsey and Southwold beaches. The Firs is a wonderfully comfortable home, and ideal for spending time with family and friends. It may be possible for you to bring your dog too, but please enquire first.

Whatever the reason for your stay, The Firs has something for everyone: a large, modern and fully equipped kitchen with a large range cooker, making for easy group catering; three reception rooms including a dining room (with space for everyone to eat together), a family sitting room and a drawing room with games. A separate games room is situated in an out-building next to the hot tub decking with a fantastic football table.

Sleeping accommodation is in the 5 upstairs bedrooms, with the option to have two additional guests to stay on the sofa bed in the drawing room - this set-up is also very convenient for those guests who struggle with stairs. Some of the bedrooms have link-beds for flexibility (can be either a superking bed, or two singles), and 2 have en suite facilities.

There are 2 en suite shower rooms, a family bathroom with bath and shower, plus a downstairs loo.

Outside there's plenty of space for children to run around, outside dining furniture for 15, and a fabulous hot tub.

A nice house well equipped for multiple age ranges. Kitchen has ample crockery and utensils though we did find the oven a challenge with top food burning whilst bottom layer remained uncooked as the fan assist did not work. There was an issue with dinning chairs as the cane backed ones had nails just under the covering causing a rip to trousers. the cleaning was not the best with glass and general mess being left under one of the beds and cobwebs in two rooms-I think the cleaning staff need appraising of the situation. There was mold in the en- suite due to the extractor fan not working. However the overall experience was good and we would certainly book again to enjoy the facilities, location and superb hot tub.

A super house for a family get together to celebrate my Mother’s 80th birthday 😊 A very peaceful setting and lovely grounds for outdoor games. We certainly got good use of the hot tub too. A very relaxing couple of days

Fabulous Easter short stay
We had a really relaxing stay at The Firs. House was lovely, comfortable furniture, working wood burners with wood available and a hot tub in the courtyard. We all had a comfortable stay and the location was quiet and rural, but close to amenities by car. Thanks to the owners for a great set up for group rentals!

A beautifully old property, well furnished with period furniture
Lots of little spaces/rooms to 'get away', plenty of games and books (including a chess table) and best of all a massive traditional dining table to all sit together. Games room and hot tub went down well with mixed ages, everywhere was very clean (well done to the 'housekeeper'). Some nice walks in the area.
