Loveliest Holiday Home in Kent
We stayed here for a week with family and it was honestly the best house we could’ve wished for. we enjoyed the garden in sunny weather, stayed indoors and cocooned on the couch during rain and loved to play table tennis in the barn. The house was well equipped with everything we needed. It was also a lovely walk away from the pub and other amenities. In case we go to Kent again with family, we would love to book the Moat Farm House again! It truly felt like home for a week.

Great house, perfect for a birthday get away
We booked this for a birthday get together. There was so much space and the layout worked so well. We even managed to undertake our own traitors game, the house was perfect for it.
Moat Farm House was such a great venue for celebrating a family birthday
Everyone enjoyed their stay greatly. A lovely location and perfect accommodation. The house was well appointed with everything needed on hand.
Cant recommend highly enough.

Fantastic Family House
Moat Farm House was fantastic for our three generation family Christmas. The house is full of character and very well equipped. The location is perfect with just a few minutes walk to the village where we went for Christmas carols at the church.
Everyone enjoyed our stay and the younger grandkids were quite upset when we left and asked if we could go again, I would highly recommend this house for family get togethers.

Wonderful house for large family holiday
Ideal house for our family holiday of 15 people and 3 generations with plenty of space for everyone to relax and have fun and so atmospheric. Garden and grounds just magical for the children. Very well equipped kitchen. Close to beaches if needed. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend the house.

Great stay
We had a super few days at Moat House. The house was ideal for our three generation family. The garden and grounds were idyllic and expansive. Able to walk from the house to village and along some beautiful footpaths through the countryside.
A staggeringly beautiful home, wonderfully presented. Perfect for family get togethers. Great host, excellent communications. Lovely area, nice walks, good pub (The Chequer Inn), close to Canterbury, Deal etc. Had a fabulous time. Thoroughly recommend.

Beautiful house for family gathering
We had the most amazing weekend in this beautiful house. We had non stop fantastic warm weather so were able to eat every meal outside seated around a large rustic table. There are enormous grounds so plenty of space to play the outdoor games that we took with us. I would highly recommend this accommodation for families to get together and have a relaxing time in the countryside.

Great stay at Moat Farm House
We stayed at this premises over New Year and had a great time. The location was perfect, with a short walk to the village pub,and a short drive into Sandwich. There were 14 adults staying and the 7th bedroom (downstairs bedroom) was rather small.
The other sis were all perfect.

Perfect Christmas get away
It was great to spend time with our friends and family in the lead up to Christmas at Moat Farm House.
The house was perfect for our group size, well equipped and had everything we needed.
Our favourite thing to do was sitting around the fire of an evening. It was very cosy!
We would all love to go back next year.
Thanks again!

Family Weekend at Moat Farm House
Unfortunately the house was cold on arrival and took sometime to warm up. Some of the instructions need updating as not everything was as stated. Overall the house was ideal for a large family gathering and a great time was had by all.

what a fabulous house!
We chose this house close to Ramsgate for our wedding weekend and for our family to stay with us. The house has plenty of space and has great character.
We hired a private chef who made good use of the spacious kitchen and 2 dishwashers, 3 ovens, 6 ring professional hob and large fridge.
We hired an actor for a murder mystery evening and the setting couldn't have been better.
Although the house is very old, all the bathrooms are modern most with heated floors.
All in all, we couldn't have dreamt of a better place to stay. Sadly the poor weather didn't allow us to explore the grounds.

A wonderful house for a group celebration
We were absolutely wowed by the Moat Farm House! The photographs absolutely don't do it justice – it's a huge house with incredible decoration and objects adorning the walls and surfaces. It's also been refurbished to a high standard so it's incredibly warm, with beautiful bathrooms and outstanding kitchen facilities. We were a group of 4 families and had plenty of space. The adjoining cottage was a godsend for a couple with a young baby, and the rest of us had lots of room in the large bedrooms. The outside spaces are incredible and its so easy to get to surrounding towns and beaches. We had a couple of issues on missing items (baby cot etc), and the Keepers Cottage team were excellent at resolving them. We will be back!

Gorgeous long weekend stay
The house is phenomenal- so many interesting period features but with all mod cons you’d ever need. Really well equipped kitchen, lovely outdoor seating and dining area, so many indoor social spaces to choose from! Particularly enjoyed our candle lit dinner and game night around the table in the library/ dining room. Beds comfy, rooms spacious. Generous supply of dishwasher tabs / bin bags / tea towels. We were a group of 7 adults and there was plenty of space + some to spare. Great water pressure & temperature across the whole house. 5 min walk to the village for Co-op (stop at the chequer inn for a pint in the lovely pub garden!) and can walk to local winery across the fields (Barnsole vineyard). A wonderful stay, wish we’d been there for longer - will certainly return!

A wonderful weekend break
Myself and 6 friends had a wonderful weekend at Moat Farm House. It was exactly what we wanted - quiet, cosy, plenty of space and comfortable. Everyone had their own bedroom, which was really nice (very comfy, lovely beds). We relaxed by the fire, chatted, cooked nice meals (in a very expansive kitchen with everything we needed). We did a recommended walk on one day which was a loop back to the house, so explored the area, but January not as pretty as Spring i'm sure. A few decided to pop to the town of Sandwich to have a look around (10minute drive), so as an option of something to do, that was very easy and accessible.
I would really recommend Moat Farm House - the decor and ambience was homely, quirky and interesting - and so much space! Would book again.

Beautiful house in great location
We really enjoyed our stay at Moat Farm House. The kitchen is really well equipped with lots of crockery, cooking utensils and 4 ovens! We were a group of 5 couples and this property is great for adults, but with so many ornaments and antique furniture it would be a challenge with children. The bathroom were modern and there was a plentiful supply of hot water.
The lane to the house was overgrown, making it very narrow for a car.
The house is surrounded by lovely, cottage style gardens and there is plenty of space to park cars.
The situation is great, being 20 minutes from Canterbury and 20 minutes form the sea at Deal. There are shops in the village.
The Dog at Wingham was excellent!

A cosy family holiday at Moat Farm House
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.
