Just returned from Christmas at Deerson Barn.It was so relaxing and just what I needed after losing both my parents this year. Didn't want to do the usual thing at home.Lovely and peaceful. My daughter enjoyed playing the piano in the hallway. The swim spa is wonderful too.So quiet at night.Would definitely recommend. I was sad to leave

Had a wonderful stay at Deerson barn with family. The barn was well equipped with everything that you may need including fans to keep you cool. The location was so peaceful , with the added bonus of the hot tub . The host was very responsive and kindly left some delicious brownies and other goodies which we really appreciated. The location was conveniently central if you wish to explore Kent. Highly recommend.
