The Barn Studio was the ideal setting for a relaxed week away from the normal day to day hubbub. The property was ideally equipped to accommodate the two of us, having everything we needed, it was nice to have the choice of shower, or bath in which to relax after a day exploring the Kent Wealds. Owners, Rachael and William made us feel very welcoRead moreme and were happy to suggest places to visit if we wanted. We enjoyed the relative quiet of the area and were lucky to have some lovely sunny days as a bonus. Most places we wanted to visit were easily accessible and within a reasonable driving distance. Bodiham Castle and Rye were particular favourites of those places we visited. Highly enjoyable break and we headed for home feeling nicely chilled out. Hide

Re equipment. Not major but a couple of Pyrex bowls and a measuring jug, maybe also a silicone spoon would have been handy. (Spoon just my preference to wooden. On recommendation.
