A group of 14 of us age 2 to 72 stayed at Moat Farm House for a week in August and enjoyed it immensely.
The house was magical, with wonky floors and gorgeous fixtures and fittings throughout. There was plenty of space for us all to find the peace and quiet we needed, and it had all the essentials and much more that you would need when away from home.
The communication and customer service from Keeper’s Cottages was first class from start to finish, and they are a credit to the owners of the property.
Particular highlights were the bedrooms, all with new or nearly new mattresses which were incredibly comfortable. The bathrooms were also all beautifully appointed and spacious, with enough to satisfy even the largest groups. A real luxury retreat!
Be aware that the owners do leave their (wonderful) collections of trinkets and objects art in situ, so be mindful of small fingers. In fact the only criticism for the house may be that there were so many of the owner’s personal possessions around the place that there wasn’t much room for ours! This was particularly the case in the kitchen cupboards and pantry, where we struggled to store our dry goods for a group our size.
One further note - the gardening team turned up to mow the lawns during our family barbecue party on our last evening, which rather put a dampener on things with the noise and smell of diesel oil, we had to pull the children from the lawn and pause whilst they did the mowing! Not ideal, especially when paying such a premium.
Overall though, it was a magical place to holiday and I’d return in a shot. It’s a privilege to stay somewhere so special, and we made some very happy memories.
