When it comes to finding the perfect family-friendly hotel, it’s often the little details that make the biggest difference. At Moonfleet Manor in Dorset, one of those stand-out features is the much-loved Play Barn – a haven of fun and adventure that children adore and parents truly appreciate.

A World of Fun Indoors

Holidays in the UK can be unpredictable when it comes to weather, but the Play Barn ensures that the fun never stops. Spread across a huge indoor space, it’s packed with exciting activities designed to spark children’s imaginations and help them burn off energy. From mini golf and soft play zones to table football, air hockey and mini activities, there’s something for every age group.
It’s the perfect retreat for younger children who love to run, climb and explore, as well as older kids seeking games and challenges. Parents can relax knowing their children are entertained in a safe environment.

Perfect for Rainy Days

The Play Barn is a real highlight because it takes the stress out of those rainy days. Instead of wondering how to keep little ones entertained indoors, families can simply head to the Play Barn for hours of laughter and play. It’s a space designed to be both fun and freeing, letting children run off steam while adults enjoy a well-earned coffee or a peaceful moment.

Space to Socialise

One of the charms of Moonfleet Manor is the way it encourages connection, both within families and with other guests. The Play Barn is no exception, it’s a place where children make instant friends and parents can chat, join in the fun, or simply enjoy watching their kids have fun. The energy and joy in the space are infectious, making it a highlight for most family’s when they stay.

Of course, the Play Barn is just one part of what makes Moonfleet Manor such a special place for families. With its sweeping views over the Jurassic Coast, cosy lounges, delicious dining, and plenty of activities on site, there’s never a shortage of things to do.
