The Granary at Newage Farm is a delightful barn conversion on the North Downs Way, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The barn encompassing the upper floor of the former granary building. It has been restored to a high specification and sits in the beautiful grounds of Newage Farmhouse. The lovely open plan living space creates a spacious sociable area for friends or family to gather, and it has French doors to a small balcony with far reaching views across the Kent countryside. One bedroom has an ensuite shower room and there is a bathroom near the second bedroom. There is a snug with TV, which has a sofa bed for a further guest on request. Outside, the barn has a private garden area with table and chairs and guests are free to wander into the adjoining orchard and catch the sunset whilst relaxing in the hammock and listening to the birdsong. In fact, nature is in abundance at The Granary which has resident partridges, pheasants, hares, buzzards, kestrels and owls so don’t forgot your binoculars. Nestled in the beautiful Kent countryside aptly named the Garden of England, the area offers charming villages to explore, by foot, cycle or car, and is close to the Pilgrim’s Way. The historic market towns of Lenham and Faversham are a short drive away, as is the impressive Leeds Castle. The medieval City of Canterbury is also a short drive with its iconic cathedral, and for those wanting to enjoy the coast, where better than a trip to the fishing harbour town of Whitstable famous for its oyster beds. There is an electric vehicle charging point for cars.

Reviews

The Granary is wonderfully decorated, and Zareen and David made us feel very welcome! The location is also splendid, so we certainly hope to return some day!

Dear Las and David,What a wonderful time we have had in The Granary. This was definitely the best-styled place we have ever stayed in.We certainly hope to return one day, especially since the area has so much to offer. One week’s stay was just too short.This is a place to recommend to others, and next time we will definitely also return to the Ringleton Inn. Go there!

Thank you Zareen and David for a lovely stay at The Granary. The accommodation is beautifully decorated and so comfortable. We have thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the balcony taking in the beautiful views. We have loved watching the wildlife, enjoyed eating the plums and apples from the orchard and listening to the owl at night. It was a very special place to celebrate my 50th birthday and we thank you for being such friendly and accommodating hosts.

Lovely stay. in an idyllic spot. Great for exploring Kent.

Lovely decor! We had fun with the appliance. Beautiful scenery, so many meadows. We even saw a hare! Super clean and cosy, we had so many games we played and had so much laughter! We love this place! ♡

We had a brilliant time at The Granary - the accommodation was superb, just as pictured. The location was idyllic with walks from the doorstep. So much to do in the area! Our hosts were fabulous - very friendly and knowledgeable, and the marmalade and fresh herbs went down a treat! Would definitely recommend

We had such a lovely stay at The Granary. It is a beautiful place to stay, so comfortable, stylish and homely.Lovely walks from the barn, so many places to explore and things to do.Very attentive hosts and everything about the accommodation was spot on!

Thank you so much for your lovely cottage, lovely layout, beautifully decorated & equipped and with those lovely windows giving a view even when it’s a bit chilly to sit out. We had a lovely last day at Leeds Castle meeting up with family, and are now going back on our way home since it’s so great. Day trips to Canterbury, Rochester & Faversham (great museum!) and a couple of very long walks, to Wye then Ashford (back by train) & from Wye to Dover for the dramatic last legs of the North Downs Way. Thank for the basket of goodies, too!

We absolutely loved our stay at The Granary. The place was wonderful. Incredibly clean, well equipped, a beautiful location and really stylish and comfortable. Zaz and David were welcoming and helpful. We loved our stay so much we are really keen to visit again soon!

We had a wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable stay at The Granary at Newage Farm. The property is beautifully designed and spotlessly clean, and we both felt that every little detail had been attended to. During our three night stay, we couldn't think of a single thing that we needed that had not been provided, and our host was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the local area. We both loved the fact that the host was there for us if we needed assistance, but also totally respected our privacy. We had originally intended to drive to local sites, but as we live not too far away and can visit another time, we decided to have a total detox from our routine, and spent the whole time reading, cooking lovely meals and walking in the countryside with our labradoodle, leaving the car in the drive way. Of particular note for me was the lighting in the property; I love cosy but also practical lighting, and that was exactly what we got in every single room. The beds and bedding were also gorgeous and extremely comfortable, with spectacular views from all rooms and bedrooms over the Kent countryside. The silence at night - except of course for the hooting of a local owl- was splendid as we live on a busy street at home. Silence is indeed golden. Highly recommended, and without any reservation.

A very cozy accomodation, so also ideal for the winter months. (And you'll be thinking about how beautiful it must be in spring and summer.)

Lenham

The Granary at Newage Farm is set in the gently rolling countryside just outside Maidstone, offering a peaceful rural escape surrounded by fields, farmland and wide Kentish skies. This is a setting that immediately feels restorative, with quiet lanes and footpaths inviting you out for slow walks and moments of stillness, while the sense of space makes it easy to truly switch off.

Despite its tranquil location, The Granary is well placed for exploring the heart of Kent. The surrounding area is rich with vineyards, historic houses and gardens, including Leeds Castle, often described as one of the most beautiful castles in England. Traditional village pubs and farm shops dot the nearby countryside, perfect for relaxed lunches and stocking up on local produce. The Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers excellent walking and cycling routes, while further afield the coast is within comfortable reach for day trips to Whitstable or the east Kent shoreline.

With good road links and stations nearby providing access to London, The Granary at Newage Farm offers a wonderfully balanced base for short breaks or longer stays immersed in countryside calm.
