Host & Stay | Orchard Barn
Summary: Orchard Barn is a tastefully decorated home, located in a quiet spot, on the edge of Bonnington village, close to the town of Ashford. The barn sleeps two guests in a king room with private ensuite bathroom. With a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable living room, small dining area and beautiful outdoor space, this lovely barn has everything you could need to enjoy a restful stay in this beautiful part of the world.
The Space: Orchard Barn offers a spacious open plan living area with underfloor heating throughout and wood effect flooring with rugs. In the living area there is a Smart TV, a coffee table, and two comfortable sofas, one of which is a sofa bed which can be made up upon request to increase the occupancy to four. You’ll also find an armchair to relax in and enjoy a good book, while patio doors look out and open up onto the orchard. There is also a large desk for those who wish to catch up with any work.
The kitchen is fully equipped and has a dishwasher, microwave and washing machine. There is an electric oven with a four-ring induction hob and a fridge with a small freezer compartment.
A pine dining table with four upholstered dining chairs provides ample space for dining in.
The bedroom is spacious and has a king size bed with a wardrobe, dressing table, bedside tables and lamps. Two tub chairs and a coffee table are the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee looking through the patio doors onto the orchard.
The ensuite bathroom is fully tiled and has a walk-in shower with hand basin, WC, and heated towel rail.
There is plenty of outdoor space to sit and enjoy the orchard while looking onto the tennis court beyond where you might decide to play a game or two during your stay.
Guest Access: Guests have access to the full property. The keys to Orchard Barn are accessed via a key safe box, and full details will be provided prior to your stay.
Private on-site parking is available for one vehicle.
The Neighborhood: Orchard Barn provides a great spot to unwind, play a game of tennis, or take walks along the Saxon Shore Way or the Royal Military Canal which are both an easy 1.5 miles walk from the site.
With the village shop and local pub just a ten-minute walk, there are good facilities within easy reach. The village sits on the edge of Romney Marsh, which is a great place to explore as it is atmospheric and filled with history.
The village of Bonnington has a vibrant community and all the essentials, with The Walnut Tree pub offering food, a village shop and stores with fresh local produce.
Just three miles away is The Farriers Arms at Mersham, a very popular village pub with a good menu.
Port Lympne Safari Park is only a seven-minute drive away and the traditional seaside town of Hythe with the delightful miniature steam railway, the Royal Military canal and a wonderful wide esplanade along the seafront is just seven miles away.
If you prefer a countryside ramble, the Saxon Shore Way is almost on the doorstep, or just head out to one of the many villages on Romney Marsh and do some exploring - the 14 historic village churches are well worth a visit.
If you need some retail therapy look no further than Ashford and the Designer Outlet centre, where you can pick up a bargain and enjoy one of the many cafes and restaurants.

Peaceful and tranquil setting which was much needed due to pressures of work. The lodge was beautiful and everything had been catered for and beyond our expectations. We look forward to booking again, thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality.

Ideal for our stay and so much more.
This was an ideal home-base for our three days in Kent. The two-room layout has a full kitchen, comfortable furniture, tons of little extras that go beyond what you would expect from a VRBO. The on-site hosts have set up an ideal rental, private behind a charming hedgerow. Close enough for a day in Dover and a day exploring local castles and gardens. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Simply the Best
A delightful property, spacious main room, spotlessly clean with everything required. The "extra's" of milk, eggs, ice cream, coffee and tea were much appreciated. Our on-site hostesses were also delightful.We enjoyed a wonderful and restful week in a delightful part of the country
