Barn End Cottage is a beautiful peaceful retreat in an Area of Outstanding natural beauty . It is stunningly located with picture windows looking out onto a gorgeous garden with uninterrupted views of the countryside. It is only 3 miles from Canterbury and a short distance from the coastal towns of Whitstable , Deal etc .

Musicians are particularly welcome. There is an annex which contains an excellent Yamaha electronic piano and practice facilities for other instrument players. For those of a sufficient standard the owners grand piano may be available. The annex is also a perfect place to read a book or play table football .

Beautifully tranquil and a perfect place to relax
Wendy's Barn was homely, clean and welcoming, just perfect. Everything you could need was provided with some extras. Prior to our booking Wendy was extremely accommodating to our extra needs. Wendy was welcoming and attentive but also left us to our selves,the grounds are beautifully maintained and full of wildlife, you can walk freely and enjoy the gardens. There are local walkable rural paths close by. A short drive from Canterbury and the coast you can have the best of both worlds.We will definitely be recommending it to friends and returning. Thank you Wendy for a lovely stay.

Perfect place to discover Kent
Very quiet and peaceful place. Owner Wendy just let you be and let you enjoy the place. Within easy reach of various resorts. Nice circular walk from and back to property, kids loved the garden, we really like Canterbury, Dover castle, broadstrairs, Margate…. I recommend 😀

I’m Wendy and am looking forward to welcoming you to Barn End Cottage . It is part of a Grade 2 listed 18th century barn , which I have the privilege of looking after as an owner.

I have lived here for 20 years and never tire of the views ,the birdsong and the beauty of the building.

I live next door so am available to sort out issues or lend things and make sure you have what you need .

I do hope you come .

Why they chose this property

My Mum ( who lived at Barn end ) used to say that the view from her windows when the lambs were frisky were worth “millions “.

Hopefully the photos show you why .

What makes this property unique

Bird song , million dollar views . A pianist or musicians retreat .
