Overview
Cloth Hall Barn & Cottages
Smarden
Three fantastic holiday properties, the main barn and its two separate cottages and their grounds are offered exclusively to you for the duration of your stay. In the heart of the Kent countryside, it is the perfect place to create memories with friends and family, but with the opportunity to enjoy your own spaces.
The main barn is an outstanding barn conversion, set in the grounds of Cloth Hall, a 15th C timber house and has been transformed into a modern space full of vibrancy and elegance, yet retaining its grand features. It boasts three double bedrooms, all with en-suite shower rooms, with the addition of a Catchpole & Rye roll top bath in the bedroom. Downstairs, huge windows flood the spacious open plan living area with natural light, it also features a wood burner and the large stylish and functional kitchen area has all you need to entertain. All ten guests can be seated around the main dining table.
Next door is your first cottage, which has been lovingly converted into a stunning retreat for two, styled with every attention to detail, offering a super king-size bed, a luxury spa bathroom and a large comfy sofa right in front of a wood burning stove.
Next door again the second cottage, our little nook, offers luxurious studio accommodation that's been ingeniously and sympathetically modernised. The parquet flooring has been up-cycled from Cloth Hall and is now warm underfoot. The modern kitchen with its cast concrete worktops and state of the art wet room surround a comfy king-size bed.
Hot tub:
The use of the hot tub is exclusive to you and your party for the duration of your stay, you can use it an at time but please do be mindful of our quite hours (between 11pm and 8am), so you don't disturb our neighbours.
