Stay and sail in Orford! A three-night long weekend or four-night midweek stay for two at Shallow End – a private garden studio in Orford – a ‘bijou’ beach hut-style, romantic hideaway for two in the lovely village of Orford, with shared use of a large garden which leads down to the marshes with long views. At the end, there is a ‘look-out’ which you climb up to obtain stunning vistas across to Orford Ness, the iconic lighthouse and the Orford fleet of fishing boats and a day’s sailing onboard a Southerly 38 for two on the Suffolk Coast. Depending on wind, tides and weather, you could enjoy a day out at sea or a leisurely sail up the river along Orford Ness, past Aldeburgh, and if the tide is right, anchor for lunch off of the beach.
