Hook Barn

Lovely new barn with all mod cons and great attention to detail. Very well equipped.

We arrived at the stunning property and after getting down the narrow drive where extremely pleased. The property is stunning and they have done a great job making sure everything is available for you in the kitchen. A lovely welcome pack was waiting for us as well. Unfortunatley though we found the bed so uncomfortable i didnt sleep and my wife woke up in pain as it was just to soft, others have mentioned this. Gail did point out it was a john lewis medium mattress but trust me it didnt feel that way and i was up all night resulting in us packing up the next morning and heading home. This is my personal opinion so please read other feedback. There is a local pub which you can walk to but this was closed for most of our planned stay, and due to all the local road closures it can be difficult to navigate to the property.

We had a lovely stay at Hook Barn with our dogs. Very clean, nice furnishings, good level of kitchen equipment (and sharp knives!), beautiful location. We like to walk and eat at dog friendly pubs and were very well catered for. Added bonus of enclosed garden.

The most well equipped and nicest cottage we have stayed in (we've been to a few!). The owners have thought of everything and the layout has been designed so well, I wanted to live there! Unfortunately my partner and I were very ill while we were there so didn't get to venture out as much as we would have liked but it was an easy drive to the coast and surrounding areas for nice walks with the dogs. The garden is lovely and secure unless you have a jumping cockapoo who jumped the wall as soon as we arrived. It's about a foot or so lower on the other side so had to haul her back, she didn't do it again. We didn't get to use the facilities in the garden but it would have been great for a BBQ. The driveway, as described, is very narrow but we managed it carefully with an Audi SQ5 with the wing mirrors in. Thank you so much x

A beautiful converted barn in a small village setting with a couple of pubs nearby. Additional nightlife and amenities are available in Faversham about 5 miles away but we were happy for a weekend away from the hustle and bustle of city life. It is a lovely property, a home from home... fully equipped with even a washing machine and tumble dryer and we had a truly lovely stay. Parking is via a small alleyway and can be very tight for larger vehicles but once we got the hang of it, it was fine. We went on a couple of lovely circular walks in the countryside and enjoyed a lunch at one of the recommend pubs. Only one tiny criticism in that the instructions for finding Hook Barn once you enter the village could have been clearer. We spent around 20 minutes driving up and down the street asking people if they could pinpoint Hook Barn. Other than that, if you're looking for a peaceful relaxing break and great value accommodation you cannot beat this place. 10/10

Hook Barn is a recently renovated old barn. Steve and Gail have gone to great lengths and thought of everything to make our stay comfortable, quiet and relaxing. We were very impressed to receive their welcome pack, prior to our arrival. What a good idea. Well done to you both, and congratulations on setting up this little haven. Just a shame the Carpenters Arms was closed for renovations and local roadworks meant long muddy deviations!

We loved our stay at Hook barn! The owners have done a great job with the decorations and equipping the barn with all necessities - from a magnificent bath tub over cosy underfloor heating to small details such as doggy towels for after a walk. We were very grateful for the welcome hamper with lots of goodies! Personally we struggled a little with the bed, which is very soft, but I can understand that other reviews rated it as super comfy. The location is great for day trips to the coast or Canterbury.

The perfect accommodation for a couple (plus dog) looking for a peaceful, comfortable and relaxed break - rural and quiet yet within easy reach of the coast, Whitstable and Canterbury. Great accommodation with lots of lovely touches. As stated in the property details, vehicular access is narrow. We managed fine in our Peugeot 3008 but anything bigger would be a problem. Great village pub just a couple of minutes walk away and countryside walks on the doorstep. Highly recommended.

Staying at hook barn, was an amazing experience. 100% recommend, I went there on my own, and it was so peaceful, neighbour's we’re really friendly. The only thing I would say is if your going to stay there, you’ll need to drive. I don’t drive and I didn’t get to go to much places, as they were too far and the cabs were so expensive.. but the place was amazing, bed super comfy! Everything was just amazing.

Great, modern barn – tastefully decorated and well equipped in peaceful surroundings. Spacious yet cosy. The walled garden was perfect for our four month old pup and the local pub just a stone’s throw away was the icing on the cake. Will be back one summer to try the BBQ!

Lovely barn conversion. Very relaxing and quiet. The bed was like a giant pillow. Not a lot in the immediate vicinity apart from a pub, but great countryside walks with the dogs. Would definitely stay again.

We came for a midweek short break with our 8 month puppy. The barn was better than expected, nice peaceful location, a stones throw from the local pub/restaurant, nice walking area and not far from the coast to go and explore. The owners have put a lot of effort into making guests feel welcome, the added extras of a welcome basket and dog treats was a nice touch.

We stayed at Hook Barn for a month when we first moved back to the UK (including our Labrador George). The house was exactly as we expected, it was very homely, the bed was extremely comfortable and it had everything we needed for the month. There are great places to walk the dog or to just explore the countryside right on the doorstep and there are some great pubs nearby, one only a few doors away. The hosts were super friendly and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend Hook Barn whether you are looking for somewhere to stay for a few days or a few weeks.

A beautiful and highly specified Barn. So many walks on the doorstep along with a quality pub. Although in the countryside all of Kents beauty spots are within driving distance making it a graet location. The barn is so warm and cosy as it has been refurbished with the best insulation and under floor heating. We felt so at home and recieved a fabulous welcome from the hosts. I had forgotten what a wonderful county Kent is! Favourite moment was sunset in Whitstable with fish and Chips!
