This charming, rustic barn conversion boasts stunning views of the countryside and coastline, offering a serene retreat amidst nature. Located near picturesque towns such as Deal and Sandwich, it provides a perfect setting for relaxation, reflection, and enjoyment of tranquillity, sunsets, and starry nights. The barn’s unique feature is its original varying ceiling heights, which add character but necessitate caution as some areas have low ceilings (around 5ft7).

The thatched barn, reminiscent of a hobbit home, was originally built by the host’s late father, a Thatcher, and has been thoughtfully restored while preserving its quaint charm and peaceful atmosphere. Guests can unwind and take in expansive views from the balcony, with the minimal light pollution making stargazing a delight. With a private hot tub, secure parking, and a gas BBQ, it offers ample opportunities for relaxation and seclusion.

Guests are provided with towels and all necessary cooking utensils, needing only to bring their own food and drink. Although the nearest shop is a short drive away, the nearby seaside town of Deal, just 10 minutes by car, offers a full range of amenities. Due to the barn’s low ceilings and door frames, guests are advised to take care when moving around inside. This cosy, character-filled retreat is perfect for those looking to disconnect from the everyday hustle and immerse themselves in the peaceful countryside.

What We Love:

We love the breathtaking countryside and coastline views, distinctive low ceilings, tranquil starry nights, original charm, private hot tub, and close-knit setting near Deal and Sandwich.
