SNAPE 5 miles (8km) ALDEBURGH 12 miles (17km) WOODBRIDGE 12 miles (19km) SOUTHWOLD 26 miles (42km) FRAMLINGHAM 13 miles (22km) This elegant barn conversion has been designed for families or groups of friends seeking comfort, space and state of the art accommodation in a peaceful rural setting just a short walk from the water.

Marshlands is set amidst open countryside between Orford and Aldeburgh with exceptional facilities for walkers and cyclists with designated paths and tracks leading from your door through woodland in the direction of the estuary.

Across the estuary (just a 5 minute boat ride away) is Orford Ness (an area of historic and environmental fascination run by the National Trust). There are spactacular views from the quay along the coast to Aldeburgh to the north and Havergate Island (a RSPB bird sanctuary) to the south. Orford has fine cafes, restaurants and lovely pubs, and superb views. It is a wonderful base for sailing and bird watching in the heart of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, 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 more information on the area please have a look at our own online guide www.visit-orford.co.uk
