The Barn is a fabulous, stylish and spacious holiday home with an amazing large open plan living space with polished concrete floor, vaulted ceiling, and floor to ceiling windows which is perfect for socialising with family and friends. This area opens onto a lovely outside space with seating area and BBQ and has uninterrupted views across the surrounding fields. The Barn is perfect for families, golfers, cyclists and special celebrations providing a quiet relaxing country home within a short distance of the mediaeval town of Sandwich and its local pubs, restaurants and independent shops. The historic city of Canterbury is a short drive in the other direction. There is so much to do in this location, numerous golf courses, beaches, walking, cycling. Broadstairs, Deal and Kingsdown beach are 20 mins away and Whitstable 40 mins. You can bring your four-legged friends with you too, so no one has to miss out on the fun!

Also on the ground floor are two of the bedrooms, both with en-suites. One of the bedrooms has a Super King size zip and link bed giving the option of two single beds. Upstairs are two further bedrooms and family bathroom. There is beautiful herringbone oak flooring with an oak stair case and a large galleried seating area with a sofa and two desks offering the ability to use as a study, a quiet reading area or children's play area. The Barn really is a perfect option for families looking for a relaxing break.

We were a party of eight, 5 adults and 3 children aged 9-14, plus our 2 four legged friends. We all enjoyed our stay at the barn it was in a lovely location off the beaten track but still close to all the amenities. The cafe at Sandwich lakes served an excellent breakfast and all 3 children had fun feeding the chickens and the pigs all in the most tranquil setting despite being on a major road. The barn is a wonderful property and well furnished with everything you need for a stay away from home.

The barn was beautiful, stylishly presented and very well equipped for up to 8. Lovely countryside around and easy to get to sándwich, deal, ramsgate and other Kent towns. Lots of bathrooms, nice outdoor space when the weather is good! All in all, a lovely stay and Keepers Cottages were excellent and very responsive. Be good to have better WiFi in the living area but a very small gripe as everything was lovely.

A well appointed and comfortable holiday home, conveniently placed for Sandwich and its surrounding countryside and seaside resorts. Well worth a stay!! The perfect place for a family get-together.

A lovely property which is beautiful decorated in a modern contemporary style. Spacious and lots of room to move about if you are many people. Great location to many of the surrounding small villages and towns.

Hired the Barn for a 50th birthday celebration, it was the perfect setting. The accommodation is luxurious, modern, spotlessly clean and with all the amenities needed for a short or long stay. I would highly recommend this property.

We stayed at The Barn with friends for the week end when attending a wedding at the nearby Wilderness. The accommodation was excellent and we all enjoyed a comfortable and relaxing time. The Barn is well equipped and has an outside space in which to relax, weather permitting. Keepers Cottages were attentive and regularly kept in touch by email, to assist if required. We would certainly book with them again.

Amazing property with great open plan living space and outdoor area. Big to and large sofa plus dining table was really impressive. Well equipped kitchen and lots of space for everyone. For the price I do feel the extra charge for an electric charger (which you had to pay every day of the stay) was excessive.

My only comment is that with all the glass and black painted exterior the house was too hot- particularly the upstairs bedrooms. Maybe you can look at installing retractable blinds at the top of the glass. It was only 25/26 degrees outside but even with fans on the upper bedrooms were still 25 degrees with the window opening restrictions- way too hot. I noticed the adjacent property has air conditioning (the cooler was in our garden).

In summary a perfect home for three seasons a year but wouldn’t come back in July/ august.

Thanks, Nick

Hello Nick, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your time at The Barn. We are sorry that you found it so warm inside the property. We do supply fans and if all the windows are all open it really does create a lovely draft throughout the property on a summers day. You can also open the bak door to the garden all the way along, which is so useful in the very warm weather. We hope this helps and we would be delighted to host you again.
