Freshwater Barn is situated on the outskirts of Benenden village. it is a pretty, clean and freshly decorated property with one bedroom with ensuite shower room, an open plan sitting room and a large hallway. There is a pretty terrace with sun loungers, table benches and parasol.
We have been running this attractive holiday accommodation for the last 10 years. T present we have two dogs and several free range chickens. We enjoy meeting a variety of different people although most have an interests in gardens and walking
Beautiful surroundings in the weald. Plenty of National trust gardens, Sissinghurst, Great Scotney, Batemans to name a few as well as Great Dixter and Pashley Manor. There are local farm shops and pretty villages as well as big towns Tunbridge Well, Rye, and Hastings Old Town. There are beaches, reivers and walks
