Cosy and quiet, a converted historic farm building, retaining many of its original features. The living area has a seating area with a spacious corner sofa and a log burning fireplace. There's plenty of seating space for watching your favourite shows on the Smart TV in the living area.

Neighborhood
Wye is a really charming village that offers a quintessentially English escape, perfect for those seeking peace, natural beauty, and a touch of history. Surrounded by rolling hills, lush green fields, and ancient woodlands, Wye is a hidden gem in the heart of the Garden of England.

Wye is lined with beautiful timber-framed cottages, traditional pubs, and good local shops -including a Newsagents, Butchers, Bakery, and a Co-Op. There are also several Cafés – very popular for breakfasts, and a good Restaurant. Wye is a busy village with a Farmers’ Market around the village Green on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month.

The area surrounding Wye is lovely for walking and cycling. The village sits on the North Downs Way, a long-distance footpath that offers breathtaking views of the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the South coast on a clear day! The famous Wye Crown, a hillside chalk carving is on the farm.

There are plenty of cycle paths, a particular favourite is the dedicated cycle path to Canterbury and then on the Crab & Winkle Way to Whitstable.

Getting Around
Wye is fairly unique as it has a train station that has a direct link to Canterbury and Ashford, with a quick change to the Kent coast or London.

Wye train station is about a 45 minute walk away.

While Wye offers a peaceful retreat, it is also ideally located for exploring the wider region. The historic city of Canterbury, with its magnificent cathedral and medieval architecture, is a short drive or train ride away. The charming coastal towns of Whitstable and Rye, known for their seafood and artistic communities, are also within easy reach.

If you're looking for a day in London, direct train services from Wye Station can take you to the capital in just over an hour. Direct services also operate to Canterbury and Ramsgate.

The Channel Tunnel terminal is about 20-minute drive away and the port of Dover is about a 30-minute drive.

All of London’s airports are within a couple of hours of Wye.

Downs Farm Granary was an amazing escape. It was peaceful, quiet, and beautifully dark at night. The animals were good fun to watch, including the free-roaming chickens and pheasants. The Granary is close to the host’s home, but feels miles away thanks to the barn between the two. We were never disturbed unnecessarily; when we did need to speak with our hosts, they were responsive and very pleasant. The little village of Wye is close by, as is Ashford, and the well stocked Perry Court Farm shop 10 minutes drive away. The directions to the property were spot on and easy to find, even in the dark. The Granary itself was clean, well presented, and had everything needed for a good stay. Facilities are modern and the shower was wonderfully powerful. The log burner was very effective at keeping the place warm. WiFi was okay but struggled to stream anything - which wasn’t important for us, definitely a good amount of digital detox to be had here.

Wir haben ein wunderschönes und erholsames Wochenende in Kent verbracht. Eine tolle Lage für Wanderungen und Ausflüge nach Canterbury und die Küste. Vielen Dank für den warmen Empfang mit Kaminfeuer. Das Design des Hauses ist wunderschön. Die Küche ist vollständig ausgestattet. Für vier Personen war es wunderbar. Nur ein kleiner Sessel hat uns noch gefehlt. Wir würden sehr gerne bei unseren nächsten Besuch in Kent dort wohnen. Leider hat die Zeit nicht für alles gereicht. Wir können den Pub „The Tickled Trout“ empfehlen.
