The Coach House in Shadoxhurst, Kent is a luxurious modern barn conversion that sleeps up to 14 guests in 5 bedrooms. Originally dating back to the mid-19th century, this property was stabling for a former Coaching Inn and has received a Visit England gold award. Surrounded by lush Weald Countryside, guests have access to acres of meadows and forestry with great walking opportunities directly from the barn. Free-range chicken and duck eggs, vegetables, and home-reared meats are available for purchase during your stay, and the Farm Spa nearby offers massages, facials, and other therapies that can be pre-booked.
The property features a private sauna and a 6-person hot tub in the courtyard, available by appointment for guests over the age of 18.
