Barclay Farmhouse offers first-class luxury 5 star 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, many local attractions, picturesque towns and villages such as Sissinghurst, Tenterden and Cranbrook surrounded by 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.
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Definitely one of the best B&Bs we’ve ever stayed in. Lynn is delightful & she couldn’t have been more helpful. She made us the most delicious (& healthy) breakfasts with innovative cooked dishes as well as really fresh fruit, the best kind of croissants, toast made with proper bread, butter on little slate mats and lovely local pear juice. Very comfortable bed, & everything we needed in the room. Little luxury goodies in the bathroom, and cookies with the large selection of teas & coffees, plus fresh milk & water in the fridge and a wonderful view from our window across the beautiful garden towards the fields beyond. Interesting features in the garden such as the little arbour nestling under the trees, a wagon wheel bench and of course the beautiful pond which is the first thing you see as you drive in. Lynn has thought of everything and we would 100% recommend this lovely place to stay, & will certainly go back there if we visit Kent again.…

My husband was having an operation at Benenden Hospital and I wanted to stay nearby. Barclay Farmhouse is delightful with fabulous gardens and a massive pond in a very tranquil and beautiful setting. Lynn, the owner, made me so very welcome, nothing was too much trouble. My room was very comfortable with a large en suite and everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. Breakfast was amazing. I cannot recommend this lovely B&B too highly, nor compliment the owner more for her care of her guests.

If anyone is worried about being safe during Covid: don't be. Lynn made sure everything was safe and clean and we never once felt at risk. It meant we could relax properly despite everything going on! The grounds were gorgeous and we spent both nights sitting outside and watching the sun go down. The rooms were equally as good, nice and cozy with everything we could have wanted (and a bottle of prosecco to boot!). Breakfast was delicious, despite the limitations of Covid. The breakfast room was equally stunning and I think we spent half of the first morning just looking around at everything! It's also perfectly located, surrounded by the lovely Kentish countryside. If walking is your thing then you'll find plenty of places to go and you won't be disappointed by the views. Lastly, the owner, Lynn, was absolutely lovely and made us feel totally welcome throughout our stay. Cannot wait to come back next year once things have, hopefully, returned to some sort of normality!…

My wife and I stayed overnight (we came to Biddenden to visit the excellent West House restaurant). The B&B is in a refurbished extension to the back of the farmhouse. Very comfortable room with lovely wooden floors and rustic farmhouse furniture. We were impressed and pleased with the quality of the amenities (lovely soft towels, good toiletries) and the thoughtful touches (small bottle of wine in the room, etc). Breakfast was plentiful and well prepared. The owners are also super friendly and helpful and even offered to drive us into biddenden to visit the restaurant! We’d definitely would stay again.

Very peaceful with a lovely outlook. Everything done to a very high standard. Only stayed one night as visiting Benenden Hospital but would highly recommend. Lynn was a great hostess and we would love to return under different circumstances.

My new husband and I along with my parents stayed at Barclay Farmhouse for several nights over the weekend of my wedding in late July. Lynn was a great host, nothing was too much trouble, and she was so welcoming to everyone. The breakfast was also really good! The B&B is beautiful and the rooms are clean and well equipped. Lynn even left us a wedding card and bottle of bubbly on the Sunday morning, which we greatly appreciated and was a lovely touch. We will stay again whenever we are re-visiting the area!

The beautiful Barclay Farmhouse is set in wonderful countryside and offers easy accessibility to so many interesting places to visit in this part of Kent. As important is the quality of accommodation and and high service standards provided by Lynn. The ‘Five star’ rating is totally justified along with exceptional care during any stay. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a high quality, relaxing time yet having the option of so much to explore locally.
