The Pavilion

A self-catering escape like no other, Pavilion on the banks of the River Alde is a captivating retreat perfect for year-round holidays. Located in a secluded part of Orford down its own private road, this one-of-a-kind holiday home is opening its doors to holidaymakers seeking a magical getaway with friends or family. The upside-down living concept of Pavilion provides panoramic, far-reaching views of the River Alde, including the iconic Orford Ness Lighthouse and Orford Ness Nature Reserve. Quite arguably, this house boasts the best view and best location in the whole of Orford, especially with its unique position next to the Sailing Club, offering one of the best views on the Suffolk Coast.

Furnished in timeless coastal chic style, the house emphasizes its breathtaking surroundings. The open-plan living area is flooded with light thanks to numerous windows and bi-folding doors that open onto a large balcony. Here, you can savor the spectacular views while dining al fresco or enjoying a glass of wine as the sun sets. The balcony wraps around the entire first floor, with staircases leading to both the second and ground floors. The second-floor master bedroom offers a holiday to remember, featuring the best views in the house due to its elevated position. It includes an en-suite bathroom and a large, private balcony—utterly romantic and absolutely Instagram-worthy.

The grounds are equally impressive, with 5 acres of private garden tended to weekly by a private gardener. This little kingdom is yours to explore. A heated outdoor swimming pool, accessible from the ground floor or garden, is available for guest use between May and September, making it a great place for adults and children alike. There's even a separate changing room off the terrace to keep your swimming gear close at hand. Just across the river path, another section of land offers direct access to the waters of the River Alde, perfect for a sundowner while observing river activity or launching a small dinghy if you wish to bring your own.

Staying at Pavilion is like being the king of your own castle. This enchanting holiday home truly needs to be seen to be believed and will undoubtedly be the envy of all your friends. For an exclusive opportunity to create unforgettable memories within these walls, we recommend booking without delay to avoid disappointment. Pavilion is a wonderful retreat for any time of the year.
