Tucked away in the quaint and quiet village of Orford lies Aspen House, a hidden architectural gem on the Suffolk Heritage Coast. Brimming with beautiful interiors, fabulous furnishings, and your very own hot tub (additional charges apply), this is the perfect paradise to escape to and enjoy!
Aspen House is a stunning holiday home for six guests and showcases the wow factor from the moment you arrive and is carried throughout the property. Its impressive architecture, combined with a natural and calming colour palette, interspersed with pops of bright blues, pinks, and oranges in the soft furnishings and artwork, creates the ideal setting for friends and family to come together.
At the heart of this home lies the open plan living, kitchen and dining area. This light and bright room is the hub and boasts floor to ceiling full-length windows with sliding doors which lead out to the gorgeous, landscaped garden. There are three wonderful bedrooms available, and all have been perfectly put together to create a private oasis for your stay. The two lovely bedrooms on the upper floor catch a lovely glimpse of the river. Slide the doors open and enjoy morning coffee on your private balcony as the sun rises over the water and the sailing boats drift by.
If this wasn’t already enticing enough, there is a touch of luxury in the garden. Come back from a day exploring the local delights and take a dip in your very own hot tub (additional charges apply)!

Orford is an attractive village, dominated by the remains of a 12th Century castle keep - you may like to climb to the top to enjoy the panoramic views over the town and marshes. It is also famous for Orford Ness National Nature Reserve and Havergate Island, both a delight for ornithologists and nature lovers. Sailing and boat trips are available on the River Ore, with country walks in Rendlesham Forest. It is only nine miles from the beach at Aldeburgh, with the historic towns of Framlingham and Woodbridge and the world-famous Snape Maltings Concert Hall also within easy reach.
