40th Birthday Celebrations!

We loved staying here - it was wonderful - really lovely place, plenty of space, both in and out - Lucy was fantastic as well. Couldn't recommend it any higher

8/10 Good

Would recommend

We had a wonderful stay in a beautiful building. It suited a multigenerational holiday with everyone having their own space. The children loved the space and enjoyed the garden (we were very lucky with the weather). Great location - very quiet - but close to lots of attractions to fill the day. Lucy was extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. The lights and heating were a little difficult to operate and the dishwasher door dropped when opened. Kitchen was well equipped, beds very comfortable and constant hot water. We would definitely recommend this property.

A Great Family Breakaway Venue

The advertising pictures and description are accurate - the reality of the Barn upon arrival does not disappoint. We were hosted warmly by Lucy who was nearby if there was a need for assistance or advice. The space is exciting and my 3 grand- daughters loved the layout, especially to 2 mezzanine floors that house 2 of the 5 bedrooms. The large and well equipped kitchen is well thought out space to support food and drink activity. The area is quiet and beautifully located in farmland just outside the village of Shottenden. Whitstable is within easy reach (14 miles) and is a charming seaside town with a myriad of shop, delightfully mostly locally owned and with the usual chains poorly represented. I am sure that we will return in the future.
