Beautiful accommodation
Hired the Barn for a 50th birthday celebration, it was the perfect setting. The accommodation is luxurious, modern, spotlessly clean and with all the amenities needed for a short or long stay. I would highly recommend this property.
A group of us came away to have a festive weekend catch-up. The house was stunning, the pictures don’t do it justice. The owners were lovely, they checked in on us and were great at feeding back to me. The facilities in the kitchen and bathrooms are fantastic! Thanks for a great stay!

A wonderful place to stay. I will gladly book it again. There needs to be better directions to locate it. The next road west is listed as that street. I ended up going from that place to an address in Canterbury, then back to the property.

Our stay
Amazing property with great open plan living space and outdoor area. Big to and large sofa plus dining table was really impressive. Well equipped kitchen and lots of space for everyone. For the price I do feel the extra charge for an electric charger (which you had to pay every day of the stay) was excessive.
My only comment is that with all the glass and black painted exterior the house was too hot- particularly the upstairs bedrooms. Maybe you can look at installing retractable blinds at the top of the glass. It was only 25/26 degrees outside but even with fans on the upper bedrooms were still 25 degrees with the window opening restrictions- way too hot. I noticed the adjacent property has air conditioning (the cooler was in our garden).
In summary a perfect home for three seasons a year but wouldn’t come back in July/ august.
Thanks, Nick

Hello Nick,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your time at The Barn. We are sorry that you found it so warm inside the property. We do supply fans and if all the windows are all open it really does create a lovely draft throughout the property on a summers day. You can also open the bak door to the garden all the way along, which is so useful in the very warm weather. We hope this helps and we would be delighted to host you again.

Beautiful barn, perfect for groups and families
The barn was beautiful, stylishly presented and very well equipped for up to 8. Lovely countryside around and easy to get to sándwich, deal, ramsgate and other Kent towns. Lots of bathrooms, nice outdoor space when the weather is good! All in all, a lovely stay and Keepers Cottages were excellent and very responsive. Be good to have better WiFi in the living area but a very small gripe as everything was lovely.
