Tranquil grade II listed barn next to historic windmill

Built in 1630, The Old Granary Barn looks on to one of Kent's last working windmills. It's on the Minnis, where cattle and sheep graze. An idyllic and tranquil spot, 8 miles from the historic city of Canterbury. The Old Granary Barn is only 500m from a great pub, a cafe in a horse box and a very friendly, well stocked village shop which has everything you may need during your stay. The windmill is open every Sunday and bank holidays throughout the summer for guided tours and cream teas.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

Cute and Quiet

Very pleasant at a property with everything we needed. Very comfy bed/pillows and seating area. Excellent base for our stay to see the area. Lots of little touches to make our stay special. Just a pity the weather wasn’t as thoughtful!

Wonderfully peaceful and rural

Tamsin, David & family couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful. Plenty of bedding, towels, tea towels. Spotlessly clean, great facilities all as advertised. Such a beautiful location, looking across the farm circling buzzards or hawks can be seen and there are even binoculars on the window sill to take a better look. We’re quite experienced at renting holiday lets and this was one of the best we’ve had. Great location from where to explore so many places in east Kent, too.
