Lovely getaway close to home but feels like somewhere else, quiet and relaxing, could of done with longer!
United KingdomCute little cottage. Nice and clean and safe protocols in place. A lovely space for a couple and our 4 month old.
United KingdomThe Barn 1 + Barn 2 setup allowed us a brick wall surrounded patio that was perfect for our small dog. The owners could not have been more helpful.
United KingdomCompact space with all the facilities you could need. Excellent kitchen space and a good touch having extra heaters as we went during the winter and it was quite cold. It was a very short drive to Canterbury centre so a perfect location for what we wanted.
United KingdomThe house is very nicely set in a farm area. It has all the amenities. The deco is fantastic. The breakfast is fantastic. There were 8 of us, all adults in the trip and we love the stay
MalaysiaExtremely nice quiet location; we had a self catering one bedroom unit and I was very impressed with the disabled provision which included height adjustable hob , sink and also a wet room with a fold down shower seat. A very acceptable gastro pub 1.5 miles away if you don’t want to self cater . My photo is the disabled friendly barn we had
United Kingdomthe whole property is beautiful, our kids loved seeing all the animals, room was spacious and clean, hosts were very nice and breakfast was good. they also recommended a pub 5 min down the road and made reservations for us for dinner and we enjoyed it. we also appreciated the free parking. We loved our stay there and would go back.
United States of AmericaI really cannot fault anything. We booked the room last minute and were just after a place to stay for the night with our dog (who had a blast). We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived! It felt like home yet we could enjoy being around the lovely animals and countryside. The place was spotless too. And the eggs benedict absolutely fantastic. The host even found us a taxi that accepts dogs. We will be visiting Canterbury again just to stay at Iffin Farmhouse once more and hopefully for longer! Thank you for the hospitality.
MaltaThe interconnecting barns is absolutely delightful, totally exceeded expectations. Was a lovely way to spend a few days away! The accommodation was beautifully decorated and fully equipped and the grounds were delightful.
United KingdomBeautiful location. Fantastic accommodating owners. Wonderful sleep in incredibly comfortable bed. Children loved it.
