Guests say
Heron Barn is a cosy and peaceful cottage in a tranquil countryside setting, offering a rustic charm with comfortable furnishings. Guests appreciate the thoughtful welcome gifts and the property's proximity to local attractions, including Leeds Castle. The communal grounds with a heated pool and recreational facilities add to the enjoyment of the stay.
Most guests found Heron Barn to be clean and well-maintained, though a few noted areas that could benefit from more thorough cleaning, such as cobwebs and dirty windows. The positive remarks suggest a generally high standard of cleanliness with room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for its beauty and tranquillity, with wildlife sightings and proximity to local sights like Leeds Castle. The rural setting is ideal for peaceful retreats and is within driving distance of various attractions.
Guests describe the barn as cosy, warm, and comfortably furnished, contributing to a relaxing stay. Some guests suggested minor improvements, such as a new shower head or mattress topper, but overall, the comfort level is well-regarded.
Facilities like the heated pool and recreational areas are appreciated, but some guests noted that kitchenware and appliances could be updated or supplemented. The presence of a pool and games is a plus, though the limited opening hours of the pool and the condition of some furnishings were points of critique.
The welcome pack with wine and snacks was mentioned positively by several guests, indicating a level of thoughtfulness. However, as not all reviews mention gifts, and to ensure expectations are managed, it should be noted that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

We had an enjoyable long weekend staying at Heron Barn. A very peaceful location to return to after days out visiting local attractions. The barn was overall well equipped, clean & comfortable although some areas of the accommodation & equipment would benefit from a bit of a refresh. The welcome pack & wine were a nice thought & much appreciated.
