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.
Free WiFi

The hot tub is £120 for 1-3 nights & £180 for 4-7+ nights - please pay the owner during your holiday.
Families or couples only.
No stag, hen or other party bookings allowed.

Super Haus und super Organisation

Das Haus war toll und wir haben die Zeit dort sehr genossen. Wir haben das Haus als tollen Ausgangspunkt für unsere Tagesausflüge empfunden. Wir waren in London, an der Küste und auch rundums Ferienhaus. Wir kommen bestimmt mal wieder...

We visited in October when the weather was terrible however , the retreat was warm and cosy with the hot tub an added bonus. The finish of the retreat was excellent with a good quality kitchen. It was a fantastic stay with easy access to a number of costal towns and Canterbury. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Absolutely fantastic cottage!!! Only difficulty was we had our 20 month old and as the barn is on one level (also a bonus) we had to be super quiet when he was sleeping. Other than that we absolutely loved everything! The rooms were spacious and everything was catered for. The owner was so gracious and looked after us very well! Gorgeous views and fantastic hot tub! Our son adored the toys provided and had the best holiday ever!!! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

An absolutely lovely place to relax and unwind whilst if need be, there are things to do for all the family. This place has an amazing view. Youre close to rail, shops and tourism if required. A fantastic base. The landlord is always on hand to answer any questions and made our stay a very enjoyable one! Thank you 😊
