Apple Barn is the sister barn to Hazel and can accommodate five people. Apple is an eco-friendly barn conversion and is furnished and finished to a very high standard. It is tucked away in an enviable position, in an area of Outstanding Natural beauty on the Kent Downs, surrounded by walks, wildlife and birds. The property has everything that you would expect to find while on holiday and even has mood lighting at the touch of a switch. It has been converted very carefully with energy saving paramount - which includes ground source heating, ventilation with heat recovery, triple glazing and has even been painted with organic paint. It is the perfect base from which to orchestrate your holiday, with Canterbury only 8 miles away or plan a day with the children at Port Lympne or Howletts - Aspinall's wild animal park. How about a day trip to France - Folkestone for the Eurotunnel or Dover for a ferry crossing - both only a short drive away. With views as far as the eye can see, Apple Barn is the perfect holiday retreat. Apple Barn can be booked together with its sister Hazel Barn to sleep nine. Hazel Barn is fully accessible for wheelchair users.

We had such a lovely stay at Apple Barn - all very well equipped and extremely clean and tidy, set in a beautiful part of the countryside for walks and pubs and trips to the beach. It was great to have Malcolm around should we have needed anything. Would thoroughly recommend and hope to be back!

Very comfortable and clean property. We were impressed with the heating which was subtle but very effective. The property was airy and spacious. Very quiet, but near the coast and Canterbury for days out.
