The Owls at Oxley Reviews

Verified Guest
We came over from Australia to hold our wedding at this amazing countryside spot and it was absolutely perfect! The place is stunning, with beautiful gardens that made our day feel like a fairy tale. The owners were super friendly and helpful, making sure everything went smoothly and that we felt totally at ease. The accommodations were cozy and charming, with just the right mix of rustic and modern. It was such a peaceful escape from the everyday, and everything about the venue made our wedding even better than we’d imagined! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate and are so thankful for the incredible experience, we will definitely be back one year for a reunion of great memories and can't recommend enough!
Emma T.
Had a fantastic stay at the cottages! Lovely place, great for familyand the owner really went out of their way to help us enjoy it.
Emma
We had an amazing stay at this place! The location was perfect-nice and peaceful but still close enough to shops and things to do. The house itself was spotless and well-stocked, which made things really easy. The pool was a big hit, especially with the kids, though it's not for the nervous! Definitely a place we'd return to.
Emma
Lovely stay, cosy place, definitely coming back soon! Highly recommend.
Emma
Lovely spot by the Suffolk coast, the place is really well-equipped for kids.
Emma
We just got back and honestly, we had a brilliant stay. The cottages were spotless and super cosy, with all the bits and bobs you'd need. The owners really went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. Thanks a lot! x
Emma
We stayed at the barns over Christmas and it was just what we needed for our big family get-together. The two properties are really well equipped and super comfy. The owners are close by but never intrusive - so friendly when you need them. Loved the little touches like milk, tea, breadand even a bottle of Prosecco in each house. Our dogs had a great time too. We'd definitely come back!
Emma
We loved the peaceful setting and the cosy place suited our group perfectly. The Games Barn was a real bonus-kids and adults alike enjoyed it! The hosts were lovely, making us feel really welcome from the moment we arrived. Definitely recommend for big family get-togethers.
Sarah
The property was fantastic, really well-keptand the location made it easy to explore Suffolk easily.
Oliver
The cottage itself was lovely, quite cosy and well-maintained. We picked this place mainly because of the pool, which was a bit of a letdown since it was out of use the entire week, even though the weather was pretty warm at times. We paid a bit extra for the pool, so it was disappointing not to be able to use it when we arrived. Still, the location was greatand the house had everything we needed. It's a shame about the pool, but overall, we enjoyed our stay. Would consider returning if the pool was available next time!
Emma
Beautiful cottage with lovely furnishings, top facilitiesand a perfect balance of fun and chill for all of us.
Alexandra
We had a fantastic stay! Barn Owl, Little Owland The Owl Box suited our big family perfectly - 8 adults, 4 kids, a baby, plus 2 dogs. Everything was clean and well stockedand Chris and Diane were super friendly and helpful. The hot tub was ready on arrival, which was a nice bonus, though the plunge pool was a bit tricky for some. The weather was gorgeousand we loved chilling on the decking outside Barn Owl. Great spot overall!
Mike
Really enjoyed our stay here! The owners were lovelyand the setting was perfect for a fun family getaway. Highly recommend!
Emma
