We loved Millers Cottage and have had two holidays there. It is ideally situated for a 5 minute walk into Orford centre. The cottage is very comfortable and welcoming. The garden is delightful and a lovely place to sit and read on the comfortable garden furniture provided. All being well, we intend to return next year.

We really like this place which suits us very well indeed. Each time we go there we notice the owner has added little touches. It is a home from home place for us.
