This B&B belongs to the best we've ever stayed in, during our many visits to England. Quiet suroundings, a very nice sleeping room with a very cosy living room,and the breakfast was always very nicely presented, with an eye for detail. Martin and Halla are very friendly hosts indeed. We're looking forward to our next stay.

Staying overnight, after attending a wedding, we had a problem finding Woodpecker Barn but Martin very kindly came out to find us. He and Halla couldn't have been more helpful or friendly and they have such a lovely home. Breakfast was superb; we look forward to returning and have recommended Woodpecker Barn to friends and family.

Martin and Halla have created a B&B experience that can have few equals in terms of comfort and quality. I have stayed away on business regularly since the 1980s and have become more and more critical with age and experience. Woodpecker Barn ranks alongside the very best.
I stayed (single occupancy) in the upstairs suite with its own private sitting room and good quality shower room. The bedroom is described as a double, although the bed is rather on the small side but ideal for one or a cosy two, whereas the alternative suite (bedroom, shower room downstairs with private sitting room upstairs) has a king size bed. This suite also has its own entrance.
There has been much attention to detail in terms of little extras - good shampoo etc, supply of bottled water, quality coffee as part of the refreshment tray etc. Good quality pillows are always a sign of a quality establishment and these, along with a memory foam topper for the mattress ensured a good night's sleep. An extremely creaky floor betrayed every movement in both the bedroom and sitting room, but with no one immediately adjacent, I don't suppose that matters too much. I stayed three nights and took advantage of the evening meal Martin and Halla offer - all excellent and very well presented. Lovely breakfasts each morning set me up for the day.
Overall, I felt that it was a pleasure and a privilege to be able to stay with such accomplished hosts in such charming surroundings and I look forward to returning.

Having stayed here earlier in the year, my friend & I decided to visit Kent again for 3 days. Woodpecker Barn is certainly a little 'gem'. Martin and Halla are so very friendly and made us feel at home. Both suites are very comfortable and cosy,and hot & cold drinks with biscuites are provided. We had a cooked breakfast each day which was very tasty.

I certainly would recommend this place and I do hope to return sometime next year.
