Those who are familiar with the pretty village of Orford will know that the broadband is particularly patchy so you may want to download before coming on holday to avoid any frustration with spikes in the Wifi, particularly with the loading of TV content. TV signalling if watching Netflix would crash in the evening and worked best during the day.

A great place to stay from which you can enjoy all that Orford and the surrounding area has to offer. Quay View is a comfortable, nicely decorated well equipped house. We would happily stay here again.
Perfect position on Orford Quay, particularly good for visiting Orford Ness. House was very comfortable with excellent views of the river.

Dear Anne,
Thank you for your feedback. We're delighted you enjoyed the perfect position on Orford Quay, especially for visiting Orford Ness. It's great to hear that the house was very comfortable and offered excellent views of the river.
Best regards,
Stay in Suffolk
Our extended family of five adults stayed for one week at Quay View. The location was wonderful as we expected from having lived in Orford in 1982-1984. We loved walking around the town and along the trails, eating at the Jolly Sailor, and taking day trips to explore other areas of Suffolk. Overall the home was lovely, but several issues factor in to a less than stellar review. We felt "nickeled and dimed" with added fees for things that other properties might regularly include. The one add-on we did pay for was early check-in. Others like "fans" might be very nice as the weather gets warmer. The top floor gets very warm. Furthermore, the WiFi does not work on the top floor and the top floor water closet is extremely tiny. Perhaps that top floor is only intended for young children? We chose this particular rental partly for the laundry facilities, counting on washing our clothes during our week-long stay. Unfortunately, we were unable to get the washing machine to work. While the property manager was gracious and tried to help, the home owner refused to repair the washing machine during our stay. They did not even offer to bring fresh towels or refund us the 25 fee for early check-in!
