Wendy's Barn was homely, clean and welcoming, just perfect. Everything you could need was provided with some extras. Prior to our booking Wendy was extremely accommodating to our extra needs.
Wendy was welcoming and attentive but also left us to our selves,the grounds are beautifully maintained and full of wildlife, you can walk freely and enjoy the gardens. There are local walkable rural paths close by. A short drive from Canterbury and the coast you can have the best of both worlds.We will definitely be recommending it to friends and returning. Thank you Wendy for a lovely stay.

A true pastoral paradise
This property is stunning— both in its structure and in its grounds. A thatched roof converted barn—complete with original exposed beams and timbers—is attached to the main house where the owner lives. The cottage is charming, clean, cozy, and very well-maintained. The host, Wendy, is delightful—helpful and obliging—and so thoughtful to leave some provisions so I had something to eat after my long flight. What truly makes this property so special is its location in the most beautiful, lush English countryside Kent has to offer. And the grounds themselves are a botanical wonderland that both Wendy and her gardener scrupulously cultivate. Location is excellent—only minutes from Canterbury which makes a perfect combination of town and country. If you’re looking for tranquility, quiet, and a lovely, pastoral retreat, you couldn’t do better than the Barn End Cottage. Highly recommend!

Perfect place to discover Kent
Very quiet and peaceful place. Owner Wendy just let you be and let you enjoy the place. Within easy reach of various resorts. Nice circular walk from and back to property, kids loved the garden, we really like Canterbury, Dover castle, broadstrairs, Margate…. I recommend 😀
