5/5
My husband and I had an opportunity to sneak a few days of vacation into our busy holiday schedule. We often look for places as far removed from our regular life in the suburbs of Chicago as possible. Well, this 300 year old thatched roof threshing barn in the English countryside certainly ticked all the boxes. Immaculately clean, gorgeously appointed, generously stocked - this rental felt like our own vacation home. After meeting owners James and Claire it was clear to see this place was their labour of love. They spared no expense and no effort in making sure our stay would be as perfect as possible. I could not recommend this charming, beautiful, soulful, old relic of a barn (with all the modern amenities!) more highly.If you don’t eat at the Tiger, (one mile away!) you’ve missed the best experience in all of Kent!

Simply the best! 5/5
Everything about this holiday home is beautiful! The location and views are stunning, the atmospheric barn has been beautifully restored at no expense and the result is the perfect place for a romantic stay. Also, a wonderful welcome pack had been left for us by our lovely host Claire which was much appreciated. I can't wait to go back! Thank you so much!

Beautiful Accommodation 5/5
We loved our stay at the Thatched Barn.
The barn was spacious, clean and comfortable.
The outside space was private and well equipped.
The owners were on hand to offer great advice on places to visit and eat at.
We would love to return at some point in the future.

Beautiful Thatched Barn 5/5
Wow, the Thatched Barn was beautiful and such a fanstastic restoration, everything you could wish for is provided and is of very high standard and quality. Quiet location for excellent relaxation but easy access to motorway if needed. Restaurant/pub recommendations for evening meals were excellent, but remember to book.

A Beautiful Bolthole 5/5
What a beautiful place! The barn has been renovated to the highest standards and every detail has been thought of. Extremely comfortable sofas and beds, plenty of crockery and cooking appliances and of course the location meant it is very peaceful.
We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a base to explore the lovely surrounding areas.

We loved our stay at The Thatched Barn. 5/5
The weather wasn't great and we were on a babymoon, so lots of time spent indoors here, but it felt spacious and equally cosy. Really well equipped which is important for me and makes the stay a lot better! Bed and sofas comfortable, and lovely dining area. Quite a few spiders around the place, but probably to be expected in a barn conversion!

Absolutely fabulous! 5/5
The Thatched Barn is absolutely fabulous. As you walk through the door you are greeted with the Wow factor, the Barn has everything you need, its very spacious, its in a very quiet location and great for touring the local countryside and beaches. The owners, James and Claire are so friendly and made us feel very welcome. We would definitely recommend.

Perfect anniversary. 5/5
When we arrived our breath was taken away by how beautiful the Thatched Barn is. The renovation (see pictures in book on table) has been very well done and everything both inside and out is exquisite. Our overall impression was how stunning it is. We booked for our wedding anniversary and it had everything we needed and more. We highly recommend a meal in the Tiger Inn. It is well worth a visit.

Outstanding Property 5/5
A remarkable conversion of a thatched barn into a one bed two bathroom property, to a level well above our expectation. Everything is to a very high spec and to provide comfort, an ambiance for a very enjoyable stay. Appreciated the hamper after what was a long journey and so pleased that it is fully equipped with every thing required.
Hope we have an opportunity to stay here again, we would struggle to find better.

Beautiful property 5/5
Wow, what a stay! The barn is beautiful throughout and so well equipped, the owners have clearly put a lot of thought into what to provide their guests. The welcome basket of essentials was a such a lovely touch and really set the tone for a great stay. The area is quiet and peaceful but only a short distance to a couple of really lovely country pubs. Would love to stay again!
