Moat Barn Reviews

Booked a weekend stay for a special birthday, we all the best time. The house is beautiful!

Natasia

The property is lovely very cosy and space for everyone. The aga took a bit of getting used to. Hot tub was great for first few days but wasnt cleaned during our stay so couldnt really be used last few days. Slightly disappointed that when issue was reported we were told that someone would be out that day but they werent, no follow up call and issue not resolved before the end of our stay.

It was perfect for a family celebration and suited both adults and children. We enjoyed the art work which provoked discussions. There was a Christmas tree which we didnt expect, which was lovely. It was lovely and warm too. The pool table, table football, hot tub and table tennis table entertained the children. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Lorriane

Well beautiful property everything we hoped for our family of ten for weekend. Heating, tub and AGA on for arrival which was great as requested. Probably need a few more guidelines re AGA !!! Games room and hot tub extremely popular in fact we didnt use the main lounge and logs for fire taken home. We had the very large queen bedroom which was so comfortable and spacious, but the third double bed could be improved for two adults. Excellent quality mattresses and linen good quality. Just small mention that a mat would be useful into dining room from hot tub we used our own towels and a table protector would be a good idea luckily we took sheets for the table. Overall great property thankyou

Claire

Really great house to stay in. The artwork all over the house was really a lovely surprise! As other people have said you do need to turn the oven on at least 46 hours prior to use so thats more of a helpful piece of advice rather than complaint. Lovely and spacious and we got great use out of the games room.

Kirsten

Beautiful converted barn. So much space and the garden is fab. My only critique would be to mention the day nursery attached more clearly in the description as I imagine if staying during the week it could be a bit noisy. A better outside light would be great to use the hot tub in the dark and the smallest of the double rooms the bed seemed very small for a double. The barn itself is fab though and everything provided was brilliant. Such a stunning area and we went to the Turks head for Sunday roasts and into Woodbridge to the Boathouse on the river the previous day. All food was amazing! Would definitely come here again another weekend.

Caroline

What a great week away with the family at Moat Barn. The accommodation was excellent, the extra downstairs space of the games room and cinema room was well used by all. The outside space too was great, wonderful large outside table to comfortably fit everyone and the added hot tub made for great evenings. Good well equipped kitchen. Yes there is an aga but doesnt take long to work out the oven temperatures. A number of previous comments have mentioned the heating up of the aga so I contacted the home owners who turned it on before our arrival and it was at perfect temperature when we arrived to cook dinner. Would highly recommend, and the decor made for some good conversations over dinner too.

Had a lovely time. The cottage was a lovely building with mainly good facilities, comfy beds with nice clean linen and towels but some other areas needed a little more attention. One of the reasons we booked this cottage was for the hot tub. When we arrived it wasnt working and was filthy. Should be checked before new guests arrive. We reported this and although it was fixed we couldnt use it until the Monday evening. Also there was not enough hot water which was put right on the Saturday. A pump in the bathroom was leaking and was still doing so when we left. The grass was quite long and needed cutting which should be done every week before guests arrive. Needed some comfy garden chairs. Also there is a nursery attachedMonday to Friday 8am to 6pm and if you wanted a quiet breakfast or quiet time it was impossible because of the noise. I dont remember this in the description. The Aga was not appropriate for the cottage as it took too long to warm up.

Moat House a great place to entertain the family!

Awesome Place! We stayed there last week as a large family group with young kids. Its in an excellent rural setting within easy reach of walks and some lovely villages to mooch about the shops. The facilities are awesome... LOVE the Aga and kitchen spec, Games Room, Hot Tub, TV services and dining facilities. Whilst some holiday homes come with very little in terms of kitchen utensils there was plenty to cater for a large group. The Turks Head a mile away is a great pub for dinner. Hoping that when we send a polite note they will be kind enough to post us back a couple of items we accidentally left on departure!!

The property was very comfortable and in a great location. It was very peaceful and fantastic for all our Grandchildren. The only items that could be improved on in our opinion were the cleanliness of the hot tub we cleaned the water line scum ourselves before using it, the grass could have been cut better around the childrens swingsslides where there were stinging nettles and some maintenance needed on the dining room door wood trim hanging off and pool cues need repairing.

Christine

Beautiful house in a lovely area, ideal for a family or friends gathering. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves however we did have a few issues. TVs and internet were not working and from reading the guest book this had been an issue for the previous two guests. The house alarm randomly triggered at 11.30pm on the first night, which woke all the children there was no mention of the alarm in the house literature so no info on how to silence fortunately it stopped of its own accord and didn't go off again! I did contact the house manager, who tried to get hold of the owner but without success presumably the owners don't want people knowing the code but they could provide guests with an alarm fob. Sykes instructions state the Aga takes 2hrs to heat up, the house literature states 3hrs, the house manager said more like 4hrs and that she had suggested literature be changed. This caused us problems as I had taken Lasagne for our party, which was not microwavable. Aga was put on at 4pm, Lasagne was put in at 5pm, at 8pm we went to the nearest garage in search of microwavable food as our own food was still only luke warm. Some comfortable garden chairs are needed. Heidi the house manager was prompt in taking my calls re. the Aga and alarm and did her best to help. Overall, I would recommend this property.

Very pleased with our choice and certainly met our expectations. Plenty of room for our group and very well equipped . A sun longer or two would be nice, though, and one of the smaller rooms wasnt really suitable for a youngster due to the open wood framing that overlooked the hall,

The house was well prepared and stocked for our party. Very pretty and quirky. The single bedroom was less usable as it has an open space into the hall below and suffers from light and noise from that source. After rain, we found that the car parking spaces turn into a small lake, which makes life difficult getting in and out of vehicles, particularly with small children. Our reported problem with the hottub was dealt with quickly and efficiently. The garden would have been more usable if it had been mown before our arrival. The grass was so long the children had to wear wellies to go into it and it made clearing up after our one small dog very difficult.

Amazing house, plenty of room and spacious. Loved the art work, and curious to know where you got it from. Would highly recommend the house for a family getaway.

Theresa

We had a lovely time with family. Very large house which accommodated us well. The house could be cleaner lots of cobwebs and dust. Different settees in lounge. The beds were very comfy and linen exceptional. Looks like it is undergoing decoration as some bedrooms had new carpet but some very worn. Love the unique art work and decor. The garden gate was locked open so couldnt shut it.

Lovely accommodation and perfect place to spend Christmas with the family. Comfortable, well equipped and games room and hot tub added bonus.

A wonderful weekend spent at Moat Barn, a beautiful building offering style and charm. Good food, great chat, a tipple and some wine, all the ingredients for a wonderful time. Beautiful surroundings so still. A luxurious kitchen, spacious and clean. A resplendent hot tub to relax and unwind. An electric mix of art makes it one of a kind. Behind every door lies a stay to discover, from mickey to Marilyn, Audrey and other breakfast at Tiffany, under the sea, a dream come true for the child in me. A gorgeous hideaway, a retreat in the green, one of the nicest places we've every been!

Amazing place! We loved our stay here. The garden is fantastic for playing games. We enjoyed trips to Southwold & Woodbridge. Paddle boarding at Dedham on the River Stour was amazing. Such a great family holiday!
