Customer Reviews
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.
Jim – June 2024
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!

Rebecca – Dec 2023
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 😊
