Hazel Barn can be found next door to its sister barn, Apple. Hazel is a barn conversion, finished to a very high and comfortable standard with increased accessibility. 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 created very carefully with energy saving being paramount - including ground source heating, ventilation with heat recovery, triple glazing and has even been painted with organic paint. It is the perfect base from where 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, Hazel Barn is the perfect holiday retreat. Hazel and Apple can be booked together to sleep nine. Hazel Barn is fully accessible for wheelchair users.

A really great place to stay! Perfect for touring the area and coming back to peace, quiet and the beautiful countryside. The property has everything you need and the owners are around if you need help during your stay. Very highly recommend staying here. The king size bedroom has a double bed and not a king size but that was the only downside of sRead moretaying here. We would definitely stay again. Hide
