Chestnut Tree Barns Reviews

Melissa
Absolutely stunning cottages in a lovely location. Set up is great from family get togethers! Super friendly hosts where nothing is too much trouble for them! Even brought us 2 bottles of Prosecco for a birthday celebration! Superb dog paddock & very dog friendly! Would highly recommend this property!
Jessica
Absolutely lovely location and cottages. We had the place to ourselves as we booked both cottages and the apartment. Lovely large field for families, kids, dogs etc. A very welcoming owner too who were happy to spend a bit of time telling us about the area and showing us around. Lovely stay thank you
Stella
13 family members and a dog, filled the properties for Easter week. We were warmly welcomed by our hosts ,who were friendly and helpful all week. We all loved the very spacious fields , garden and patio . We had a wonderful egg hunt and lots of space for outdoor games. The hot tubs were very popular with all ages ! This is such an ideal holiday hoRead moreme for families of all ages . Everyone wanted to return . Thank you Hide
Jenna
Overall, we had a lovely stay! Beautiful grounds, comfy beds, cosy setting. Hot tubs much needed after a winters day walk. I would recommend the cottages, but I don't think they are suitable for large groups. Very dog friendly, the meadow would be great in warm weather.

Suffolk Owl Sanctuary - IP28 6HX
about 13 Miles
This amazing owl sanctuary located in the Stowmarket area of Suffolk should be high on your list of places to visit in the area.  The attraction is also a registered charity and carries out important work in the care & rehabilitation of owls from the region.  The sanctuary also raises awareness of owl conservation throughout the UK.  Between April and the end of September there are two superb flying displays each day so you should try and make your visit coincide with one of these displays if you can.
Africa Alive - NR33 7TF
about 25 Miles
Africa Alive is one of Suffolk's largest attractions and one of the most popular in the whole of the UK.  The Africa themed park is very unique and gives visitors the chance to see some amazing creatures in a habitat which is as close to nature as possible. The park can be explored by car and on foot and Hyenas and Giraffes are just some of the animals you will encounter as you make your way around the park. Watch out for the lightning fast Cheetahs and keep your eyes peeled to spot the more reclusive creatures. During a day at Africa Alive there will be plenty of shows and educational talks taking place and if the weather turns then the indoor Adventure Play Ground comes in very handy. The site also has a well stocked Gift Shop and a Discovery Centre.  
Colchester Zoo - CO3 0SL
about 28 Miles
Colchester Zoo is a fantastic place to visit with something for all the family.  Wander around and see the array of animals in excellent habitats.  Don't forget to visit the Leopards at Ussuri Falls, this new expansion can be located opposte the White Tiger Valley and the Medellin Momkeys.  Other popular areas of the zoo include Tiger Taiga, Chimp World and Wallaby Walkabout.   Look out for special events throughout the year such as Shriek Week on Halloween.  If you book tickets online you can obtain a discount of 10% and are also fast tracked on entry to the zoo - a great idea in the school holidays.
Banham Zoo - NR16 2HE
about 29 Miles
This award winning wildlife attraction has much to offer both families and couples looking for a fun and educational day out.  You can discover a whole wild world of animals with over 1000 different animals from around the world. You will probably want to try and spend the whole day here so you don's miss out on anything.  Highlights include the amazing animals presentation, the birds of prey display and the feeding talks, all of which take place at set times of the day.  This attraction is fantastic value for money and highly recommended.  Their latest event is the Snow Leopard Club Naming Auction and there has recently been a baby giraffe born at the zoo.
