Norwood Barn is in Wormshill, near Sittingbourne. It's a proper village at the top of a hill. It feels very quiet.
The barn sleeps six. There are three bedrooms and they all have their own bathrooms. That's useful. It's rated 4 Star, which is accurate. It's been done up well.
It's a barn conversion, so the ceilings are high and there are old oak beams. The main living area is up a flight of stairs on a sort of mezzanine floor. It looks down over the kitchen through a glass balcony. The best bit is the big picture window in that living room. On a clear day you can see for miles, right out to the coast near Whitstable.
The stairs to that mezzanine are open-tread. They're fine, but you'd need to watch small children. The courtyard garden is enclosed by a flint wall, so it's secure.
There's no pub in the village itself anymore. The nearest ones are a short drive away, in Bredgar or Hollingbourne. For a bigger shop, you'd go to Sittingbourne.
It's very good for walking straight from the door. The woods and fields around here are nice. For days out, Leeds Castle is about 20 minutes by car. Canterbury is roughly half an hour. If you fancy the coast, Faversham Creek or Whitstable are both within about 40 minutes.
If you're coming by train, Hollingbourne station is the closest. It's about a ten-minute drive from the barn.
It has parking, WiFi, a dishwasher, a washing machine, and underfloor heating. All the bedding and towels are included. We can provide a cot and highchair. No pets, sorry.
