What an amazing property! The barn was spacious, immaculately clean and very very comfortable. Beds were divine with pillows and bedding to match the luxury. Crockery and cutlery were abundant and enough I think to cater for the whole village! This barn is great for a multi generational get together. We spent New Year there and were able to spread out in different areas of the barn to suit each family member. The weather was absolutely atrocious so didn’t take much advantage of vast garden. It was however good to look out and watch the weather against the vineyards behind. I’m sure in nicer weather it would have been fab for al fresco dining etc. Outside games room in the bad weather was a hit with everyone and a table tennis tournament was a regular evening activity! Sam and Phil were excellent hosts. Communication prior and during our stay was brilliant. There were a couple of requests and they were “on it” immediately. They also gave us recommendations where to go! All in all a fantastic week away! Will definitely return!

What can I say, fantastic property, lovely location and great hosts. The barn’s 6 large en-suite bedrooms on the ground floor are great for a large group, and the fittings throughout are all to a great standard. Games room was great fun and we all enjoyed the evening BBQ and walks through the vineyard. The hosts were so attentive and thoughtful, going over and above to ensure our stay was perfect. Will definitely return with the family in the future.

As a family group of 10, we have stayed at many Rural Retreat properties and everyone agreed that Bokes Barn was the best so far by a mile. This time we were accompanied by my 16 month old granddaughter and a dog, so a new experience for everyone. The layout of the converted farm barn was really well thought out, with the concrete beams remaining in situ as a novel feature. The provision of two dishwashers was a definite time saving benefit, as in other properties, normally only one dishwasher was provided. The outside patio area was well appointed and well used, with the outdoor games such as Boules and a large size Jenga being popular. The separate games room also proved popular for darts and pool. The owners Sam and Phil were extremely helpful, available for any question, yet not at all intrusive, in fact the ideal hosts.

We couldn’t have chosen a better venue to celebrate my 70th with 3 generations of our family and friends. Sam and Phil were so helpful and welcoming. The barn is so well designed and equipped we wanted for nothing. Lovely grounds for the children to play in ,plus the games room and mezzanine floor .I could go on .. but I’ve run out of superlatives to describe a perfect weekend . We hope to return for future family occasions .

My husband and I celebrated our 60th birthdays with friends at the barn. Every bedroom was beautifully decorated with good bathrooms. The kitchen was well equipped with good quality equipment, cutlery, crockery etc The terrace was beautiful with great views. The owner was extremely helpful, recommending chefs and places to go and even came and sorted out our online delivery when we were delayed travelling. I really cannot recommend Bokes Barn highly enough. Such a beautiful place made our celebration even more special.

Amazing! Bokes Barn is set on a working vineyard off the beaten track. The Kent scenery and setting is beautiful. We stayed for a week with extended family in preparation for our son's wedding. The barn is bright, very clean and luxurious. The bedrooms are warm and very comfortable. The open plan living space is home from home. The mezzanine floor was ideal for one of our university guests to study quietly. The high quality kitchen caters easily for 12 people. We enjoyed the addition of a games room and croquet on the lawn. A final mention and thanks must be given for the huge food hamper awaiting our arrival and the delicious chocolate cake. The owners were perfect hosts. We would thoroughly recommend this property and area of Kent and would love to return one day.
