“North Downs Barn impressed me as a genuinely peaceful escape, set amidst Kent's rolling hills yet surprisingly close to Rochester's historic heart; I particularly appreciate its dedication to offering a personalized experience, with tailored breakfasts and thoughtful touches throughout. It's the kind of place where the location itself becomes part of the appeal-truly a restorative stay.”

a really good stay
warm welcomecomfortable bedgreat varietyperfect setting
i was greeted warmly. the room featured a very comfortable bed. the breakfast included so much variety. the garden and barn were beautiful! i really appreciated the perfect setting. alison and her husband were amazing!!!
honestly, it's difficult to find anything to fault, but if i had to, perhaps a slightly wider selection of teas in the room would be nice.

An Okay Barn Stay
low temperaturedim lighting
The room temperature wasn't ideal I thought. I ended up piling on extra blankets. Also I have to say the lighting was a bit dim making it difficult to read in the evenings. I did notice a strange noise from the plumbing during the night and I hope it gets fixed soon.

Adequate Stay in the Countryside
country outlookhuge roomcoffee machinecold roomdangerous placementhead injury
I found the hotel lovely with its country outlook. My room was huge as it was a family room, and the furniture was fine. A Nespresso coffee machine was included in the room.
The room felt very cold. I am now waiting for medical attention because I think I have bronchial pneumonia. I hit my head badly and have concussion as the oil burner was put in the wrong place. This was not good
