Customer Reviews
Barn Owl Sanctuary had a real wow factor, the photos accurately represented the spacious, comfortable accommodation! Great location for all the lovely places nearby, we enjoyed, Snape Maltings, Aldeburgh, Woodbridge, Orford, Southwold, Walberswick and Dunwich. So well equipped, plenty of space for 10 adults. Warm and cosy too! The log fire looked so tempting but we were warm enough. The twin room made up as a double needed a wider duvet was all we could fault. Great memories made, as it was a family trip for my 70th birthday…

Just returned from our stay at Barn Owl Sanctuary . We would like to say what a wonderful time we had. The barn was perfect and we could not have wished for anything better. From layout and bedrooms with very comfy beds to all the
added features we all loved ,My daughter especially loved the big bath in the upstairs bedroom. . A big thank you from Keith, Lesley Bob, Chloe Reggie (8) Raya(4) Claire, Simon and Daisy (4)

Booked a Friday to Monday stay at the Barn Owl Sanctuary for my family of 9 and I must say the accommodation was amazing. Everything was as it appeared on the listing. Gorgeous kitchen with everything you could need, large dining table with more than enough crockery, glasses, cutlery, etc. All bedrooms spacious and all with ensuite and comfortable beds. The master bedroom upstairs was especially lovely and quirky with its shower reminiscent of the elevator from the Willy Wonka film. The property has a large patio area with more than enough seating for 10 people plus BBQ which we utilised as the weather was very kind to us. The bonus was we could take our miniature schnauzer dog who had a wonderful time. Location was spot on and within walking distance of Aldeburgh. Would also recommend a trip to Southwold and Thorpeness. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

This property was of a very good standard throughout, and was perfect for our needs. The location is very good with ample parking and quiet surroundings, but close enough to Aldeburgh to make it also very convenient. I would definitely stay here again.

We had a great stay – space for kids to run around inside and out, well-stocked kitchen and beautiful rooms. Great for a getaway with friends or family as lots of space to be sociable or read a book. Excellent communication from host. Hope to be back!

The house is absolutely gorgeous, attention to detail is 2nd to none. All the rooms are decorated beautifully and to a very high standard. The house is so warm & welcoming you really do not want to leave. It was absolutely perfect for our friends and family gathering. We have just stayed for 3 nights and have had the best of times. The house was decorated with a Christmas tree and made us all feel incredibly festive. The kitchen is fantastic to cook in with a fabulous large table for us all to gather around. The lounge area is so comfortable with a beautiful log burner fire. Great walks all around the property and Aldeburgh and Snape are just a few miles by car in either direction. The host could not have been more welcoming making us feel like friends/family. We are already discussing our next stay for the summer and without doubt would love to return for our Christmas gathering in 2024.

I’m always a bit conflicted when finding absolute gems, such as this – in case writing a review hampers my opportunity to book again in the future! The Barn Owl Sanctuary is a stunning place – with some really quirky features. The Titanic Loo and Willy Wonka’s Great Glass Elevator Shower were particularly noteworthy – as was the outside courtyard and personality of each of the rooms. It has satellite cottages available too if you, as we did. have a large family event – and a number of relatives travelling from abroad to attend. One final point is that we were unable to use the Car charging point whilst there, as it was being updated. Beautiful, comfortable and quirky place – everyone loved it!

This whole place is an absolute gem ! Everything in the house is well thought out and super quality. The beds are so comfy. Beautiful pure cotton white sheets, plump towels and feather quilts (tho a little hot at the moment) is just how I like my accommodation. Huge leather sofas for a relaxing night in and a tv that makes that night even more enjoyable. And the huge bath…… just so relaxing ! Outside seating is perfect, and the view is lush. This is clearly is a new listing and I am so pleased we chose Barn Owl Sanctuary, I didn’t want to leave. It’s perfect for visits to Aldeburgh and Thorpeness and all the delights of the Suffolk Coast. Will certainly stay again. Thank you 😊
