The barn is here on our farm, in Smarden. It's detached. We live next door in the farmhouse.
It sleeps six, in three bedrooms. There's one bathroom upstairs and a separate toilet downstairs. It's got a 4 Star rating, so it's comfortable and well-equipped. Being an old barn, there are low beams upstairs, so watch your head.
You have your own enclosed garden. It gets the sun in the evening. There's furniture and a barbecue. The living area is quite big, with doors out to the garden. The kitchen has what you need, including a dishwasher and washing machine.
You're welcome to walk around the farm's acre of land. There's a large pond where you can fish for carp and trout if you arrange it with us first. The pond isn't fenced, so you’ll need to keep an eye on children and dogs.
We allow up to two dogs. There's a cot, highchair, and stairgate here if you need them. Bedding and towels are included.
The local pub is two miles away in Biddenden Green. The nearest shop is three miles. Smarden village itself is very quiet and old-fashioned, with lovely old houses.
