Lovely property in a beautiful, peaceful spot in the heart of the Kent countryside
This property was really lovely⊠beautifully converted.
Set in the owners large and very lovely garden. High quality throughout.. the bed and bedding was especially good (very important for me). Sophie was a great host - thank you Sophie đđ»
great property in the Weald of Kent, kept in excellent order, and perfectly set in peaceful Benenden.
Sophie Iâd a great host who had thought of everything, and really takes care to ensure a great stay. Weâd visit again and recommend.
My husband and I spent a weekend at this property with our puppy. We had a great stay! Sophie was very responsive with messages and had a cake waiting on check-in. The hosts were also helpful with tips on what to do, where to eat - which we very much appreciated. The cottage is in great condition and has all the necessary amenities. Itâs a great location to explore the national trust properties close by and close to the beautiful Bedgebury forests. Highly recommended!
One thing to mention is that, it isnât obvious from the listing that the cottage is just off the main house where the hosts live. The cottage has a separate entrance, but the garden is part of the main garden without a fence which is not ideal if you want to let your dog out without a lead as there are hens / chickens free in the garden. It didnât make much of a difference to us.
clean accomodation and friendly host will go back again without hesitation. Only negative was description didnt make it obvoius how close property is to owners own property but minor issue.
We had a lovely break for a couple of days staying at the property. The host, Sophie, and her family made us very welcome and baked us a cake on arrival (which was delicious). The barn was very comfortable with everything we needed, and the gardens very beautiful. The location is great - we visited Rye, Camber and Bodiam Castle, and the local village pub does great food. All and all a memorable stay.
Property was exactly as described. Extremely clean and inviting.
Lovely patio area outside to use, which we did, as the weather so hot. Owners very nice and helpful. Couldnât fault anything and would certainly return.
We had a great time at Freshwater Barne. Sophie and her husband are great hosts. There is plenty to do and our daughter loved interacting with the animals!
A cosy retreat tucked away in the Kent countryside
Freshwater Barn is a delightful cottage hidden away in a large garden. Our hostess Sophie and her menagerie welcomed us into their home with a delicious home made cake! The cottage was well appointed, clean, tidy, and very well equipped with everything we needed and more. Our children especially enjoyed playing with the numerous pets - especially Toffee the dog and Minou the laid back cat! It was our great escape to the country for the bank holiday weekend.
Ein sehr schönes gemĂŒtliches Cottage, mit Liebe zum Detail. Die Vermieterin hat, trotz das wir verspĂ€tet waren, auf uns gewartet und mit einem selbstgebackenen Kuchen begrĂŒĂt. FĂŒr den ersten Morgen waren Kaffeepads und zwei Flaschen Mineralwasser bereit. Alles war top und sehr gepflegt. Und somit sehr empfehlenswert.
Beautiful location in the middle of Kent. Very nice owner
Beautiful and well equipped. Sophie, it was such a relaxing week we spent at Freshwater Barn, thanks for everything.
What a lovely cake we were expected by, when arriving at your house.
Perfect stay not far away from everything.
Only the mattress of the sofabed is not really comfortable.
We recommend this place for everyone,
who wants to explore Kent.
Great little spot and prefect for the Wealden show

Little piece of paradise
Loved staying in this adorable renovated barn. The house has every comfort and the private garden is a bonus. Excellent location for exploring Kent & Sussex. Pleasant hosts. Wish I could live here!
We had a lovely holiday in Benenden. The cottage was clean and cosy. Everything was available: washing machine, good shower, towels, bed linen, TV, DVD etc.etc. The welcome by the owners was very friendly and the cottage has a lot of privacy.
Summarizing : Couldn't be better !! Thanks.
We would thoroughly recommend Freshwater Barn for a relaxing break or stay - cation.
It would suit a couple looking for walks in beautiful woods & near rivers.
It is a real gem x
A great cottage for couples, with a beautiful bedroom and ensuite facilities and a spacious lounge/dining area. Lovely to be welcomed with a home-baked cake, thank you! The internet and parking facilities were a little basic but we were always warm and comfortable, and the cottage and garden were in a quiet location, perfect for visiting the many NT and EH attractions nearby.
