About this property
Bokes Barn is a contemporary barn conversion overlooking 80 acres of award winning Chapel Down vineyards, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The large, open-plan living area creates a feeling of space and light, with doors opening out onto the generous patio, with glorious views and comfortable seating.
The Weald is a very special part of England, with spectacular views, rolling hillsides and villages steeped in centuries of history. Bokes Barn puts you centre stage of this captivating landscape, occupying a perfect position for sweeping views across Wealden Down's hills. You even have exclusive use of three-acres of paddock during your stay, not to mention the croquet lawn and paths through the vineyard.
The barn conversion has been fitted out to an extremely high standard, with lots of extra little touches such as a wine fridge – essential if you’re going to sample the local, award-winning wine! There’s plenty of space for everyone to relax, and three of the bedrooms can be either double beds or twin beds depending on requirements. If a member of your party brings some work away with them, the mezzanine could come in useful as a makeshift study. There's even a piano for those who like to 'tickle the ivories'. Bokes Barn also featured in The Times Travel 'best 25 vineyard stays in Europe.'
One place you’re bound to all end up at some stage is the large, south-facing terrace, with its commanding views over the fields beyond. With plenty of elegant rattan furniture as well as a fire pit and barbecue, it’s the ideal spot to spend a relaxing evening enjoying each other’s company. Or head over to the games room where tournaments of table football, darts, billiards and table tennis await.

Just perfect! We were overwhelmed with the beautiful location, the amazing Barn complete with absolutely everything we could possibly need. The games room was brilliant for all the family to enjoy. The welcome hamper was luxurious and home made / local produce a delight. The bedrooms all with en-suite were so warm and comfortable. Sam was so welcoming and helpful, the perfect hostess. Nothing was too much trouble to ensure we had the best week. We all want to return to Bokes Barn in the future, and I cannot recommend it highly enough to families looking for relaxing , luxury accommodation in the countryside with so much to do on the doorstep.

This was a fabulous venue for my 70th birthday family celebration. Its spacious living area was ideal for our multi generational party and the bedrooms were beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Gorgeous views and plenty of outdoor space with a great games room too! The owners were very helpful and quick to respond to any query. Our arrival hamper was wonderful!
