The Crown and Castle unveils bedroom refurb

The Crown and Castle in Orford has unveiled the refurbishment of all seven bedrooms spread across the entire first floor of its main building.

Each bedroom is designed in recognition of well-known local landmarks.

The rooms feature “bold” accent colours and decorations, which reflect and acknowledge the local area’s heritage.

The deluxe sea view ‘lighthouse’ room has been revamped in red and white to mimic Orford’s once prevalent lighthouse, which was visible through the bay window prior to its decommissioning in 2013, and demolition in 2020.

A small lighthouse lamp is also placed in the room to commemorate the former landmark.

With views towards Orford village including the St Bartholomew’s Church, the second deluxe room is fuchsia pink teamed with grey.

This room also has a walkway leading to the bathroom, which acts as a dressing area with a built-in wardrobe and “Hollywood” style vanity mirror with three different light settings.

Even the bathroom has been restyled with a newly fitted bath alongside the window.

‘Florence’, one of the three sea-facing rooms features coastal colours of teal contrasted with a neutral cream, while the ‘watchtower’ room, which has a small view of the Orford Castle kept from its bathroom, features brick tiles to resemble an old building.

The ‘Ness’ has been styled using a floral fabric acknowledging the wild flowers growing freely on the Orford Ness coastal nature reserve (National Trust).

The two common double rooms ‘black beacon’ and ‘Pagoda’ are named after structures that existed when Orford Ness was a location for atomic weapons research.

Pagoda has been styled with “bright” yellow highlights, while Black Beacon features a purple, black, and grey colour scheme.
