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!

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.

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.

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 😎👍

Family gathering

Priory Barn perfect for three generations. L shape works brilliantly for the oldies to get a bit of peace from the little ones. Very well appointed and comfortable accommodation . Lovely very spacious sitting/ formal dining area. Kitchen had everything we needed with a big table which the children used for arts and crafts. Wonderful, large, safe garden for ball games, rushing. around and cycling for little ones. Beautiful countryside and lots to see and do in the area. Melanie is an excellent attentive host and Paul very helpful getting the BBQ up and running. Would definitely come back.

Wonderful stay in the countryside

We loved our stay at Priory Barn! We were two families w teens and the space was great! Communication with the owners was very fast and efficient with any questions we had, and we found the house very comfortable, nice linens and clean (as much as a house in the country can be! Expect to see some local 8 legged friends!). One suggestion is to supply even the basics of provisions. We had black pepper but nothing else. Including salt and perhaps oil would be very appreciated. Overall loved our stay, it was a great respite from the city as it was very peaceful!

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

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.

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.
