The Coach House is superbly positioned off the westerly corner of Broad Street, and within close proximity to Orford Castle, Market Hill, and the quay. The National Nature Reserves of Orford Ness and Havergate Island are situated in the River Ore just to the south east of the village, renowned for its bird life. Orford is an extremely attractive village situated on the River Ore with a popular 12th century castle, a church which was used by Benjamin Britten for premieres and performances of some of his works including his Church Parables. Orford packs quite a punch for a small village and benefits from two fine public houses (The Jolly Sailer & The King’s head), a smokery (Pinneys), school, two well-known restaurants (The Butley Oysterage and The Crown & Castle) as well as a thriving village shop, a butcher, a baker, a newsagent and not to mention the rather fabulous Pump Street Bakery. The close proximity to the river allows the opportunity to pursue a wide variety of water sports and Orford is particularly well known for sailing. There are 18-hole golf courses at Woodbridge and Aldeburgh. In addition, there are a much wider range of local schools and facilities at Woodbridge, Framlingham and Ipswich. From Woodbridge and Wickham Market there is access to the A12 and also a train service to London via Ipswich. More extensive facilities can be found at Ipswich, the County Town of Suffolk, which also offers regular mainline railway services to London.
