We loved our stay at Priory Barn and were welcomed by a lovely complementary basket of wine and snacks. The barn itself is very characterful and ideal for big family groups. There is also a large garden that is great for outdoor activities. The price is also very reasonable for what you get. Highly recommended!

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!

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.

We had a wonderful break and Priory Barn was perfect for our family gathering; spacious, comfortable and well- equipped. The layout worked really well for us and the pool table was a hit. Paul and Linley were very quick to reply to a query. There are so many fabulous places to visit nearby and the countryside is glorious.One small point - the outdoor sun umbrella didn’t look usable.

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.

A great house for a family holiday

The check in process was excellent. The house is perfect for a family get together with plenty of room. If anything the photos online don't do the property justice. The outside area is perfect for relaxing, playing games or eating at the large outdoor table. The kitchen is well equipped. Overall we had a great time and would certainly recommend the house to others with a large family.

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 😎👍

I’m very sorry to hear that Sandra. We pride ourselves on our high standards and check the clean after every service. If you had mentioned the coffee machine at the time we would have replaced it. In fact - since you mentioned it I have now checked it and the toaster and both work fine! You also mentioned the soft sofas... they were new in the summer and are high grade Duresta sofas. Again I have checked them and they are as good as when they were put into the barn in August. Glad you had a good stay all the same.

Fantastic weekend away

We recently stayed at Priory Barn for a family get together. It was amazing. The Barn was more than we could of ever expected. It is so well maintained and very clean. There were 11 of us staying there but the barn was so big we all had plenty of room. The children loved the games room whilst the adults could all congregate in the large well equipped kitchen or gather and in the large and cosy living room. Having somewhere so lovely to stay as one big family made the weekend. We will definitely be staying again very soon.

Beautiful house for a wedding weekend

We had a wonderful 3 days at the house which was perfect for smaller children with the safe and private garden, our teenage boys who loved the games room. The house is designed so that everyone has their space while spending time together. It is beautifully furnished, clean and well equipped. The surrounding area is also stunning and we will have to come back to visit again and see more when we don’t have family weddings to prepare for. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Kathryne

Ruby wedding celebration

Lovey barn . Very helpful, we had a slight problem working the tv, but was sorted out very quickly by Paul, who was only a phone call away and lives close by .Well stocked with cutlery and crockery and cooking utensils. The bottom oven was not easy to use, but we managed with the top one and the hob. Welcome pack on arrival was a nice gesture. We had a lovely time and would recommend this property .
