The Ark Barn is a comfortable, well appointed home from home with everything we could possibly need provided.It was a perfect place from which to explore the coast and historic attractions between Canterbury and Dover and during a cold and occasionally wet week in February.The owners took the trouble to provide us with helpful communications and documents prior to our arrival and checked that we had everything we needed during our stay.

We have returned to the Ark Barn several times and we have just had another perfect stay as always. All the little extra touches make the property special and we look forward to returning in the future.
