Barclay Farmhouse offers first-class luxury bed and breakfast accommodation in the quiet historic village of Biddenden, in the heart of Kent. The accommodation is based around a former farmhouse and outbuildings dating back over 200 years, with extensive grounds and a convenient location close to the coast, local attractions, picturesque towns and villages, spectacular scenery and unspoilt countryside. Barclay Farmhouse provides a retreat, with stylish, comfortable, quiet and private accommodation set back 100 metres from the road and its own beautiful gardens with wildlife pond, providing a great bolt-hole and getaway for a quiet few days relaxation, contemplation or thought. It is an excellent base for exploring and enjoying all the local area has to offer. During the winter of 2003/2004 the 18th century barn at the rear of the farmhouse was converted to a bed and breakfast wing, incorporating the exposed oak framing to retain the original historic atmosphere. Because there is a large deepwater pond in the grounds, we are unable to accommodate children. Our three double bedrooms have therefore been fitted and furnished to the highest standard of comfort and accommodation, to suit the discerning adult. We have been awarded "5-stars" by VisitBritain Quality in Tourism with a Gold Award accolade and pride ourselves on providing our guests with this highest possible level of service and hospitality. For the comfort of all our guests, we operate a no smoking policy. The new facility has oak flooring and high quality French oak furniture throughout. The bedrooms have modern en-suite facilities including power showers and heated towel rails. Ample luxury towels and crisp bed linen are provided. Each room has the latest LCD flat screen TV with digital Freeview, bedside radio / alarm / CD player, hair dryer, telephone, refrigerator and mini-safe. Kentish Hills mineral water and fresh milk are provided, and a hospitality tray with an assortment of teas and coffees. Wireless internet access can be provided to your laptop computer. Barclay Barn has already become a favourite location for brides' pre-nuptial accommodation, to prepare for the big day, and for their leaving photographs. We are delighted to make the start of their wedding a very special occasion. Barclay Barn is also becoming first choice for the honeymoon night! Rates : From £60 per person per night. From £80 per room per night based on 2 people sharing. Sorry, no children. No smoking. Sorry, no pets. Off street parking. Wi-fi. 5 Star VB.
