Overview
Property code: OC-TN603

This two-bed, barn-style property makes a fabulous holiday base for a small family or two couples. It’s next to a mirror image property in the grounds of the owners’ house. They have a well-stocked fishing lake you can try by arrangement. Located within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there are stacks of walks for you to go on too. If you fancy a trip out, explore the local gardens at Hole Park (3 miles) and Sissinghurst Castle (8.5 miles) with its garden rooms, or the magnificent, moated castle at Bodiam 6 miles away. Stock up on fresh supplies at the popular weekly farmers' market in Rolvenden village just 1.5 miles from your home from home. Historic Rye is only 10 miles away near the coast, while it’s 5 miles to attractive Tenterden which is also worth a visit with great shops and historic buildings.

This holiday retreat is all on one level with a couple of steps inside. Sink back into the sofa in the open-plan lounge and enjoy the wood burner in cooler months or the light evenings during summer. This combined living/kitchen/dining room is oak-floored throughout, with cottage-style latched doors, lots of natural light and a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and frame. There’s a two-seater dining table and a comprehensive modern kitchen area that also boasts a breakfast bar with four high stools. The two delightful bedrooms are generous and also have the same interesting, vaulted ceilings, oak floors and calming atmosphere. They share a bathroom with contemporary fixtures including a free-standing bath and delightful, walk-in, tiled shower.

Guests have the use of their own private, fenced garden with a furnished terrace and lawn overlooking a stocked fishing lake and a shared BBQ.

Good place for 2 but feel 4 people would feel a bit cramped, storage is limited. Beautiful for bird watching, they seem to love sunflower seeds, and star gazing. No artificial light, you can see evey star. Wonderful views to the front of the property but the rear backs directly on to the Hastings road and is very noisy. Can't be helped but is distuRead morerbing. Hide

Lovely cosy cottage, everything at hand. Great place for us and the dog; we made some very nice walks straight from the fenced garden into the open field. And everything interesting is nearby: castles, gardens, Rye, Hastings, Battle etc.

A magical location, tucked away beside a tranquil fishing lake and surrounded by the gentle Kentish countryside. Minutes from boutique shops and supermarkets of Tenterden and just a short drive from a range of family friendly attractions, this makes the perfect spot for exploring Kent, its historic villages, and beautiful coastline. We also took a Read moreday trip into London from Ashford international station, which was very achievable and adds another fun day to your itinerary! Hide

The location is good for days out in Kent & Sussex but be aware, there is a great deal of noise from the A road. The Cottage itself is basic and needs some TLC, nothing matches and there is very little storage and nowhere to hang anything. The grounds are impressive, we enjoyed watching the birds in the garden area. Take bird food with you, and Read moremaybe deck chairs as the garden furniture is very primitive. Hide

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Bluebell Barn. It was clean and comfortable and ideal for people with dogs. The outside area was perfect, with an enclosed garden and then the little lake and beautiful countryside further on. Great location for exploring Kent and East Sussex and lots to do and see. Hosts were very friendly and helpful.

We had a lovely time at this cottage! The secure enclosed garden was perfect for our dog, and the surrounding grounds and lake created a beautiful setting for morning coffee.
