location in the whole of the village.

The Pavilion was certainly ideal for a large group such as ours. The
kitchen-diner is large but minimalist with a table to seat 10 and a
kitchen bar. It's very well equipped with glasses, plates and cutlery for
every occasion. There's even a wine fridge to keep those bottles
perfectly chilled. It's such a lovely home that you'd be forgiven for
wanting to stay put, enjoying long evenings with a bottle of wine and
some board games, and local walks during the day.

Food and drink
The best part about a self-catered holiday is the opportunity to explore
local food and drink. In Orford, I am happy to report, you are spoilt for
choice. For breakfast we headed to the award-winning Pump Street
Bakery which was a hit with everyone, especially our son Leo who is a
massive fan of Pain Au Chocolats' (which he is allowed on special
occasions).
