A beautifully restored thatched barn, this home will leave you in awe of its lofty beams that rise cathedral-like above you.

Broad Oak, Rye

We could tell this exquisite home, in the heart of the East Sussex countryside, is owned by an interior photographer – it's picture-perfect. We love the attention to detail that has gone into this place.

Standen Farm Lower

• 18 guests

• 9 bedrooms

Benenden, Kent

Spread over three buildings, this converted farm dates back to the 17th century and maintains plenty of historic charm. Designed specifically with families in mind, you can have a multi-generational shindig here – two guests have the dairy to themselves (with its ground floor bedroom, it's perfect for older couples), while the farmhouse, spread over three floors, can house up to twelve (with ten adults), and the granary up to ten (with six adults) – the latter two buildings have living areas, as well.
