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.
A good size property for a family stay. Loved the games room. Really good to be able to spread out! Super garden. Great location and lots to do. Lots of parking. Beds were comfy.
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.
Great place for all the family ranging from 10mths to 60 and our dog. Loads of space - the games room was a real hit with everyone.
Very clean and the beds were so comfy-love the pillows. Had a fabulous weekend celebrating hubbies 60th birthday. We'll be back - thank you.
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.
Beautiful location, helped with gorgeous weather which was great for the big garden. The Barn is spacious with lots of character & all the features you need for a relaxing stay with friends & family. The owner’s communication was outstanding, answering any questions pre & during visit promptly. Thank you
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 😎👍
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 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
10 of us piled in from 3 families and the house provided everything on the bill. Only mishap was a 3am alarm fue to potential power cut. Otherwise we all enjoyed our stay and the locality had lots to offer for 5 kids aged 14 to 6 years old. Thank you

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.
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 .
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.
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!
The barn is in a great location and has plenty of parking space. The accommodation is spacious and suits a large family gathering. The games room is brilliant for entertainment, especially if it’s wet. There are neighbours each side of the seating area within the garden, so you are aware to keep the noise down. The property has a great character, but be careful not to hit your head on the beams.
The thing we struggled with, was the oven. Difficult to operate, no manual and took for ever to heat up. However, when we called the number given on arrival, they kindly came to our aid.
We enjoyed a weekend away at Priory Barn to celebrate my MIL's 65th birthday; there was a wide range of ages including 3 children. The house was lovely, all very nice and clean and the garden was stunning, we enjoyed quite a few bottles of wine sat outside in the sunshine! The children (and adults!) loved the games room, particularly the pool table and table football. In fact we didn't watch any tv all weekend which was highly refreshing!
We would say that the oven isn't the best - we worked it fine but it takes absolutely ages to heat anything so make sure you plan ahead with meal times! There's a very nice indian takeaway we used the one night about 5 minutes drive away that we'd recommend.
The location is perfect for days out to lots of beautiful sites - we chose to go to Penshurst Place for the day as there's something for everyone including a great playground for children of all ages.
Thanks for a lovely weekend, we were saying we are probably going to book again next year as it was perfect for what we wanted!
