静かな田園環境にある改築された納屋、家族に優しい、コリアーストリートTN12

The Simmonds family have lived at Den Farm Oast (next to the Barn) for 20+ years. We thoroughly enjoy meeting and greeting people from all over the world and helping guests make the most of their time in Kent. We are very relaxed about sharing our grounds and facilities with visitors and have many repeat visitors including regular ones from Australia and Germany. We have a very kind & friendly black Labrador called Elvis who adores meeting people and is very good with nervous people. We respect the fact not all people are doggy people but please respect the fact this this is his home & he will spend time outdoors! There is usually somebody at home to answer any questions guests might have. We have tried to make the Barn as comfortable as possible and take pride in its appearance. Having experienced a few dodgy self-catering holidays we know what we would like (or not like) to find in a holiday home inc. a comfortable bed(!), plenty of crockery, a dishwasher so you're not always washing up, good cooking facilities and a decent shower and bath to name a few!

We fell in love with the property as we came up the drive. It is peaceful but not too remote, close enough to all the facilities but with plenty of space and virtually no traffic except the very occasional car or tractor. Our home, Den Farm Oast, consists of part of a barn, 1 round roundel and one square roundel. The kitchen is round as is the master bedroom! The property is surrounded by orchards (beautiful in the spring) and hop fields. It is rural but so easy to get to towns either by car, bus or train. London is only about 50 mins away by train. The neighbours are all friendly, it is safe for children and great for walking and cycling. What more could we ask for! Den Farm Oast Barn is close by but detached. You have the choice of relaxing and enjoying the peace and quiet or hopping in your car and visiting one of the many famous sites around here including the Hop Farm at Beltring, Sissinghurst Gardens, Leeds Castle, Bedgebury Pinetum & Scotney Castle to name a few. A day trip to France is also easy to organise!

We have received many compliments over the years but the majority have been about the peace and comfort of the Barn, the warm welcome visitors receive from the Simmonds, the pick and eat invitation as well as its close proximity to so many wonderful sights. The number of repeat visitors is a testimony to how hard we try to make this a memorable visit for everybody! There are many lanes here for cycling and footpaths for exploring so plenty to do literally on your doorstep. This location is wonderful - in the middle of the countryside but very close to lots of famous sites and main line stations if you fancy a trip up to London.
