Snaptrip says

Bolton Barn in Kent receives high praise for its cleanliness, warm atmosphere, and the owners' hospitality. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches like homemade cakes and the provision of essentials. The property's rural charm and the presence of friendly animals add to the experience. Some guests mention the bed's comfort could be improved, but the overall sentiment is positive, with many looking forward to returning.

Guests that stayed at this property said

The property is consistently described as clean and tidy, with guests noting the attention to cleanliness, especially during the Covid period. The provision of sanitizers and the spotless condition of the barn contribute to the high score.

The location is praised for its tranquillity and scenic surroundings, with easy access to local towns and countryside walks. The proximity to railway lines and stables adds to the rural charm, although the lack of network reception is noted.

While the property is often described as cosy and warm, several guests have mentioned that the bed's mattress could be more comfortable. The presence of a cold draught from a window is also noted. However, other furnishings are found to be comfortable.

Facilities are generally well-received, with guests appreciating the fully equipped cottage and the inclusion of welcome packs. However, some guests experienced issues with communication and check-in, and the lack of Wi-Fi and mobile network reception is mentioned.

Guests frequently mention the thoughtful gestures, such as the provision of cakes, eggs, and treats for pets. These touches are highly valued, although it is politely noted that such gifts, while common, are not guaranteed with every stay.

About this property

Lenham Heath 0.5 miles. This charming, detached, stone-built barn conversion is around three miles from the market town of Lenham. Hidden away in the Kent countryside, this lovely rural cottage offers couples a quiet and tranquil break from the hustle and bustle of modern day living. Very welcoming, this Lenham Heath cottage exudes warmth and character with exposed timbers, stripped floorboards, and a feature stone wall in the sitting room. There is also a double bedroom, a bathroom, kitchen with dining area, and sitting room with a woodburner-style electric stove and French doors leading outside. The patio area offers the perfect place for guests to relax and unwind with a cool drink after a day exploring the many historic towns and villages dotted across this part of Kent, or maybe to plan the day ahead over morning coffee. The numerous bridleways and footpaths that crisscross the fields and meadows are right near by this Lenham Heath cottage, making a walk into this quaint market town a must during your stay. There is a wide selection of local shops including everything from grocers, bakeries and curiosity and antique shops, tea rooms, and pubs serving excellent food, not forgetting a monthly market with a wealth of local produce to peruse. Lenham Heath has a lot to offer but if you fancy a day away from rural life, the beautiful city of Canterbury, with its cathedral, theatres and river trips is only a short drive away, or perhaps a day across the Continent appeals? Venture from Ashford or Dover on the ferry and you can be ordering lunch at a bistro in France in just over an hour! With so much to do and so many places to visit, this Lenham Heath cottage is a perfect choice at any time of year.

Lenham Heath is a small village in rural Kent with a selection of shops and pubs. The towns of Maidstone and Ashford are close by.

    The cottage is clean, cosy, comfortable and truly dog friendly. It's well equipped and everything seems to be in a right place. The welcome pack was a nice surprise, especially the fruit cake (just delicious!). Lovely views around, super friendly and very quiet horse in stables next to the cottage. Great place to recharge the batteries and have some rest, but also to explore Kent (Lenham, Whitstable and Dover are worth to visit). We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you for having us
