No smoking.. Nestling in 26 acres of woodland and pasture, this delightful detached barn is situated in a quiet retreat in rural Kent, and offers complete tranquillity with space to think and be creative. The cottage is well equipped and has a wood burner for which the owners thoughtfully supply a basket of logs during the winter months. A glass of wine can be enjoyed on the decked terrace whilst watching the lambs at play, or trying to spot a deer. Malthouse Barn is 20 minutes from Canterbury, and the Channel Tunnel is 15 minutes away for the Eurostar to Paris. Take the fast train from Ashford and be at St Pancras, London, in just over half an hour. For a car free holiday, the owners are happy to collect and deliver guests to and from the station, and for sightseeing trips, you can take the train into historic Canterbury. Enjoy views from the decking down the valley which is occasionally visited by herds of wild deer. This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is an orchid conservation area, and makes a lovely place to visit in any season. For flower lovers, there are great gardens to visit nearby including the famous gardens at Sissinghurst, Great Dixter, Bateman’s, Scotney Castle and Charleston. The town of Wye is 4 miles away and has a variety of shops, restaurants and pubs, with a farmers’ market every other Saturday. There are also two local pubs within walking distance. This is excellent walking terrain, and for the more daring, try hot air ballooning locally. Shop 3 miles, pub 1 mile.

Beautiful cottage in an extremely peaceful location. The decoration and layout of the cottage are lovely, unusual and so thoughtful. The views from the deck and the birds in the tree are wonderful. It would be even better if there was a comfy sofa and a well stocked crockery/mugs/glasses cupboard. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

The property was just as described on the advert and well supplied by the owners. Communication with the owners was brilliant and they were very helpful with any requests that we had. Although the location was abit tough for driving due to the narrow country roads, the locals were very friendly and welcoming. Overall I would recommend staying at this property if anyone is in need of a welcome break. P.S. views were amazing!

Lovely thoughtful hosts! Warm welcome with cake and fresh logs for the fire. Wonderful nook away from the world. Dog walking is good. You need to venture to other fields for off lead walks.

The cottage is perfectly placed for visiting coastal areas, Canterbury and clise enough to Dover for a day trip tp France. Coming from a medium sized town we found the narrow roads challenging. Nevertheless we managed to get about each day. The peace and tranquility made the holiday.

Very peaceful location with lovely views exactly as described. Seemed remote when we arrived but once you are used to the very narrow roads, doesn't take long to get anywhere. Furnishings interesting. I loved the pedal aeroplane. Would have loved it as a kid.Good choices of local eateries. Ask the owners for a look at the vintage racing car if possible. We very much enjoyed our stay although it took a while for our dog to realise what sheep were.

Rustic.....but quite romantic is how I would best describe this cottage. If you are looking for something luxurious maybe it's not the place for you, but if you like something slightly quirky, with a bit of character and charm (not to mention lovely views across the valley to woodland beyond) this probably fits the bill!! Run by a lovely couple too.
