Much thought has gone into every part of this property. The view on a windless, sunny morning is jaw dropping. Sunrise for us in Feb was right over the water and you can watch it from the main bed.
Beds are plush level of firmness with super soft linen making for a very comfortable sleep. I normally won't book properties that do not have aircon but you really do not need it here. Opening a few of the many sliding glass panels will quickly cool it down. The bedrooms have a fancy ceiling fan to get some air flow.
Lots of pocket doors in the hallways are great for sectioning off the house. I was able to run the coffee grinder at an ungodly hour without getting yelled at by she-who-sleeps.
Wifi was 60mb down and 20mb up.
Orford does not have any great places to eat so best to bring your ingredients with you and take advantage of the fully fitted out kitchen which has all the cookware, bakeware, etc you would expect in a normal chefs kitchen.
There is no noise from the road behind the property as it is a fair distance away and shielded by other houses.
A public path does run in-front of the property but I saw probably 20 people over 12 hours. The path is further away from the house than the photos show so you do not feel like you are on show. You can drop the electric privacy blinds in the main bedroom and living room which still allow you to see out but they cannot see in unless you turn on a light. In the main bedroom there is a second set of blackout blinds you can drop that give you complete privacy and block out a substantial amount of light so you wont get woken up too early.
The main bedroom has a desk nook deep enough for a 27 inch monitor or you can work in the living room on the massive dining table.
