Stay at this rural retreat in the Kent countryside for a relaxing trip with friends or family. You’ll be in the pretty village of Loose, within a conservation area offering lovely walking opportunities from your front door. You’ll be 0.5 miles from the nearest pub and 3 miles from Maidstone, a large town with plenty of shops and restaurants. During your trip, you may choose to visit the majestic Leeds Castle 6.5 miles away or spend the day in Rochester (11.5 miles), a historic town with a castle and a cathedral.

There are steps up to the entrance, which takes you straight into the open-plan living area. This magnificent space is bright and airy thanks to its double-height and dual-aspect windows and light colour scheme. You’ll find a large sofa and a loveseat for relaxing, plus a TV for some entertainment in the evenings. The modern kitchen is filled with high-quality appliances, including a Tassimo machine for your morning coffee, and there’s a wood-topped dining table with space for six. There’s also a handy downstairs WC. An impressive bespoke staircase with glass panelling leads up to the mezzanine landing. The bedrooms, both accessed via one step up then one step down, both have en-suite shower rooms with WCs. In one room, you’ll find a king-size bed, and in the other there’s a king-size zip-and-link bed that can be made into twins on request at the time of booking. Both rooms have gable walls and lovely wooden ceiling beams.

This property benefits from a beautiful garden to the side, surrounded by hedging for privacy. There’s a large lawn with a fountain in the middle for a traditional feel, and a shingle area with a large wooden table, set within a pergola.

Lovely converted barn with private garden in pretty location. Lots of local walks through the garden of England. The fresh eggs and home made apple juice were a very welcoming touch

Salts Barn ticks all the boxes for a self catering holiday: comfortable beds; good kitchen; nearby pub; plenty of walks. Its difficult to believe that you are close to Maidstone.

What a little gem. Beautifully converted barn with all you could need. The lovely owners came and said hello but not at all intrusive. Perfect location to explore the area. So peaceful but not far from local amenities. Short walk to a great pub with good food. Would not hesitate to return.

We thoroughly enjoyed a weeks stay at Salts Barn. Mandy and Brett were excellent hosts. This is a high standard home from home. If you decide to book this property you will not be disappointed.
