Reunion at Priory Barn

Great place for family reunion. The Priory Barn is a great house with everything you need to spend an amazing time in Kent. Ideally located with short drive from Gatwick Airport. Melanie has been really helpful for the check-in and gave us some great tips for things to do in the area. We will be back!

Priory Barn

The property was excellent. From our arrival to departure the six of us enjoyed all that it offered. A convenient and beautiful location. The house was equipped very well making our stay easy and simple. Well equipped kitchen allowing us to dine in as needed and a full laundry so important as we were traveling.

Great property for large groups

Overall we enjoyed our stay - the games room is fantastic. The room layout is a little odd as you might expect with a barn conversion. Location is great too. Only slight negative was that the property is in need of a bit of tlc - a couple of things didn’t work (coffee machine being one) and the clean could have been better. Otherwise great 😎👍

Family gathering

Priory Barn perfect for three generations. L shape works brilliantly for the oldies to get a bit of peace from the little ones. Very well appointed and comfortable accommodation . Lovely very spacious sitting/ formal dining area. Kitchen had everything we needed with a big table which the children used for arts and crafts. Wonderful, large, safe garden for ball games, rushing. around and cycling for little ones. Beautiful countryside and lots to see and do in the area. Melanie is an excellent attentive host and Paul very helpful getting the BBQ up and running. Would definitely come back.

Wonderful for families of all ages

Excellent venue for our 50th Wedding Anniversary family get together. Well situated in beautiful countryside with a large garden for our young grandchildren to play in. The games room was very popular with children and grown ups alike. All the rooms were spotlessly clean and the kitchen very well equipped.

Fantastic house for family holiday

We had a fantastic stay at Priory Barn. A beautiful house I a gorgeous bit of country side. Plenty of space for everyone to have room to do what they want, games room in particular was very well equipped and thoroughly entertained grandchildren and adults alike. Some lovely places to visit nearby, though be aware if you have dogs, most don't allow dogs except in parts of grounds. Plenty of fabulous walks nearby and a lovely garden.

Beautiful property and good value

This characterful property is situated in the Kent countryside within easy reach of Tonbridge, Hever Castle and Leeds Castle. It features a cosy and atmospheric living room, comfortable bedrooms, clean bathrooms and a clean and well stocked kitchen. The games room is a real plus for children. Melanie, the owner, was very helpful when we went in search for logs for the fire. Overall we had a very enjoyable stay and recommend the property highly.

Happy Birthday stay

My family thoroughly enjoyed celebrating my wife's 65th birthday at the Priory Barn. The house and garden are generous in size and perfect for little ones to entertain themselves. The house was spotlessly clean, the beds were really comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked. Would thoroughly recommend.

Priory Barn

The property had tremendous character and felt very special .. especially in the main living room when we had the log burner lit in the evenings . The garden was beautiful and we were able to sit out and have our breakfast sitting on the patio . We found some nice walks for our dogs around the nearby village of Charcott which had a good pub too. There are several National Trust properties not too far away . We enjoyed visiting Chartwell where Churchill lived .
