Dining area: French Doors Leading To Decking
Kitchen area: Electric Oven, Electric Hob, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer

Bedroom 2: Double (4ft 6in) Bed, TV
Bedroom 3: Bunk (3ft) Beds, TV
Bathroom: Roll Top Bath With Shower Attachment, Cubicle Shower, Toilet. Central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Highchair. Enclosed garden with decking, garden furniture and summer house with hot tub (private, 1-3 nights at £120, 4-7+ nights at £180). Private parking for 3 cars. No smoking. Please note: There are steps in the garden. Sorry, no hen or stag parties, couples and family bookings only.. Roam the countryside and chill out on the terrace. This is a rural holiday accommodation with a touch of luxury, including air conditioning, a hot tub cabin with TV, and TVs in all bedrooms.
Kentish Barn Retreat is inviting, bright, and spacious and set in rolling countryside, overlooking the orchards, farms and vineyards of Chilham. It offers unrivalled country views, open plan living, high ceilings, skylights and a raised decked terrace from where you might catch a glimpse of buzzards, sparrow hawks, rabbits and resident white doves.
Watch the sun set in the West through the trees on the horizon, whilst enjoying an evening beverage. You will not be disturbed. The children will be spoilt for choice with their own bunk beds and a fully enclosed garden where they can play freely. A travel cot and highchair are provided as well as a hairdryer. There is more to life than your holiday barn... so get your walking boots on for some wonderful walks around Chilham and the Great Stour River. Take the kids to Badgers Hill Farm and Cidery (just a mile away) to see the animals and ponies, with its café, gift shop and Cidery. Trail the North Downs Way, visit Chilham Castle and the chocolate box picturesque Village of Chillham just 5 minutes away. Chilham is famous for the many period dramas which have been filmed there. The Woolpack, The White Horse pub, and The Church House Tea Room around Chilham Village are all very warm and welcoming.
Canterbury Cathedral City is only a 15 minutes’ drive away, steeped in History, it has a wide choice of restaurants for all tastes, and for the adventurous Charing Gliding Club is just 15 minutes away. There are many stunning beaches along the Southeast coast too. After a busy day, have a soak in the hot tub or in the beautiful roll top bath.
