Property code: OC-AS283

A beautifully remodelled Garde II listed bar conversion enveloped by lush woodlands and the rolling Loose Valley countryside, this stylish rural gem is ideal for a family or group of friends seeking a restorative retreat with their four-pawed pal. Curious companions can sniff out the wonders of the medieval Bodium Castle parkland and dive into an al fresco doggy ice cream in the courtyard, before resting up under the secluded wooden pergola and basking in the afternoon sunshine.

Set on the grounds of the owner’s oast house, this sleek property blends traditional charm with contemporary clean lines and calming stone, beige, and white hues. Dry off soggy pups with a fluffy towel then step up into the open plan heart of the home with a striking bespoke staircase and underfloor heating to warm chilly paws and toes. Sink onto the sofa with a drink and fire up the Smart TV while your canine stretches his legs on the plush carpet or pad through to the light-dappled kitchen/diner. Perch at the breakfast bench with some nibbles and flick through your holiday pictures while the resident chef cooks up a storm in the spacious shaker kitchen. Retreat upstairs to the mezzanine landing to find the elegant en-suite bedrooms with rustic wooden beam features, consisting of an adaptable king/twin and a king. Energetic pups can let off some steam with zoomies in the lush walled garden while the humans sip their morning coffees under the pergola.

Grab the lead and bound through the sprawling 450 acres of land at Mote Park, 2.5 miles, where your waggy-tailed pal can bound along the woodland paths, splash through the lake, and dig through leaves. Sniff out the 13th-century pub in Hollingbourne, 9 miles, welcoming four-legged patrons, or venture to the popular seaside town of Whitstable, 29 miles, and feel the wind in your fur with a blustery stroll along the shingly shores of West Beach.

Lovely converted barn with private garden in pretty location. Lots of local walks through the garden of England. The fresh eggs and home made apple juice were a very welcoming touch

Salts Barn ticks all the boxes for a self catering holiday: comfortable beds; good kitchen; nearby pub; plenty of walks. Its difficult to believe that you are close to Maidstone.

What a little gem. Beautifully converted barn with all you could need. The lovely owners came and said hello but not at all intrusive. Perfect location to explore the area. So peaceful but not far from local amenities. Short walk to a great pub with good food. Would not hesitate to return.

We thoroughly enjoyed a weeks stay at Salts Barn. Mandy and Brett were excellent hosts. This is a high standard home from home. If you decide to book this property you will not be disappointed.
