Moat Barn in Suffolk is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its spaciousness, unique art decor, and additional features like a hot tub and games room. The property offers a comfortable stay with a well-equipped kitchen and cosy atmosphere. The garden and outdoor facilities add to the charm, making it suitable for families and groups seeking a relaxing getaway.
The property generally maintains good cleanliness, though some guests noted areas for improvement such as cobwebs and dust. The hot tub cleanliness was mentioned as an issue by a few, but this seems to be addressed promptly when reported.
The location is described as peaceful and beautiful, ideal for family holidays. Proximity to a nursery school was noted by some guests, but overall the rural setting and nearby attractions like Sutton Hoo and Southwold are appreciated.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the linen of exceptional quality. Some concerns were raised about the suitability of certain rooms for young children and the heat upstairs, but overall the property is considered cosy and accommodating.
Facilities like the games room, hot tub, and garden are highlights, though there are comments on maintenance issues such as the AGA's heating time, alarm system, and outdoor lighting. The hot tub's maintenance and the garden's upkeep were also points of contention for some.
While the reviews reflect a positive experience with thoughtful touches like a Christmas tree, there is no consistent mention of gifts or special amenities provided by the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to accurately assess the thoughtfulness category.

The games room is a great addition, as is the outdoor seating area and garden. Decor is fabulous, and the film room went down extremely well with the teenagers. Superb accomodation with everything we needed for a great stay.

They have really thought of everything, itâs a home away from home. Its a beautiful spacey house, so even with 10 of you, you donât feel under eachothers feet and can âget spaceâ if you wanted to. Decorated and cleaned to a very high standard. Ample parking. Immaculate garden. Fab games room with lots of board games to chose from and floor space for the kids to sit and play. Maintenance man arrived on Monday to do the garden and hot tub and was a very friendly guy and did a fantastic job. It really is spotless. We cant wait to go back to Moat Barn soon! Thank you for a fabulous stay, its an absolute dream home and my family is completely in love with it!

Only downsides were not enough mirrors, especially in the master bedroom where everyone wanted to get ready there was only a little mirror, a full long mirror would of been lovely but thatâs only me being picky other than we loved out stay!!
