A light larch-clad space for lovers, or a retreat for walkers and writers in pretty Orford, once a medieval sea port but now on the river

You'll feel happy to arrive here. A welcome hamper is brimming with biscuits, chocolates and bread from the famous Pump Street Bakery up the road, bottles of Adnams ale and a pack of Pinney's smoked salmon. You'll also find a voucher to use in their restaurant, baskets for shopping, lovely fresh flower arrangements and a neat dog blanket with a bowl and some treats.

The open plan living and kitchen space is neat-as-a-pin, sofas are comfy and covered in soft throws, the games cupboard is inviting, china and glass are beautiful, knives are sharp and you'll find good cookery books. You have your own garden for outdoor meals.

This is a rare, secluded spot - if the silence is broken it will be by birdsong, possibly the call of the gulls. The water meadows lead on to the salt marshes with their wildlife, and the mysterious river Ore, with its fascinating history and legends and from where the oysters you are likely to eat are grown.
