...it is a pub! Hooray. A coastal pub clearly reliant on tourism/second homers that has resisted covering everything with Farrow & Ball and tiling the place in slate. It’s a bit rickety, it’s got nooks and crannies and it’s got atmosphere. A friendly welcome and the intuition to offer to find a table for two vacant looking tourists wandered in... More

Had a couple of nights stay here. The room was comfortable, although slightly quaint! Long time since I had to have a shower kneeling in the bath and hanging space was very scant. Food though was absolutely delicious and breakfast saw us through until the evening. Very nicely presented and served by very friendly people. I did think the rates... More

My wife and I stayed for two nights in March this year and were treated so well Royalty would have been satisfied. The food was first class and the beer was very well looked after. The bar had a large wood burning fire that made the place very warm and inviting and also made for a jolly atmosphere. We shall... More

We stayed over last week-end and enjoyed every minute. The welcome is warm, the rooms are comfortable, the food is very good, and the beer excellent. Considering how this pub was in past years, its a transformation.

Warm Saturday in October, good beer and good fish and chips in the pleasant atmosphere of both the garden and inside of the pub. We were a group of 15, we all ate well, service was good, the menu was extensive catering for large and small appetites. I'd happily return.

We have stayed at the Jolly Sailor and eaten there before. This time we were in Orford for the weekend and wanted a few drinks in the Jolly. We were first in at midday and sat at the bar and watched the place fill up with diners in no time at all. The choice and quality of beer and the... More

We returned to try the food as we'd visited since the departure of the previous not so jolly landlord and the food looked good. Some of the best fish and chips we've ever had. Delicious. And lovely friendly staff. This 5 star review is based on the food, we haven't returned to stay in the rooms, but hopefully there have... More

We holiday in Orford every year so have seen the Jolly Sailor through many changes in management and their offer. Last week, during our stay, we visited twice, once for an evening meal and because it was so good we returned for Thursday lunch (not many places can serve mussels as good as the Jolly Sailor!). Two people behind the... More
