Historic Surrey is wooded and verdant, and just outside of London. Surrey is proud of its mid-century country houses, medieval churches, golf courses and horse racing tracks. Important literary figures, including Arthur Conan Doyle, H.G. Wells, Aldous Huxley, and Kazuo Ishiguro either lived, studied or wrote in Surrey. Scientists such as Thomas Malthus and Alan Turing spent many years there as well. If you’re a music fan you probably know that Surrey is a significant part of the formative years of Eric Clapton, Peter Gabriel, and Jimmy Page. Tourists eager for discovery would love what they’d find in Surrey. If you’re not moving there yet to immerse in rural life fully, then you ought to consider staying in any of the charming Airbnb barns on offer. Read our definitive list of 10 best barns for rent in Surrey, UK, for your upcoming holiday.

1. Modern and spacious lodge in an idyllic setting (from USD 172)
We figured you’d have to call a fancy barn something else. How about calling it “The Lodge”? The Lodge is fully furnished, spacious, and quite modern in terms of facilities. The living space is open and airy with vaulted ceilings. We can’t say enough about what you’d find indoors, but the location is quite exceptional as well. Fields surround The Lodge, and you only have to ask the host for a picnic basket for a fun day in the countryside.

According to the gracious hosts, the barn is within the grounds of the main house. You’ll have access to a tennis court, and if you want to practice hitting and volleying they will see to it that rackets and balls are available. Modern facilities are ready for use for the duration of your stay. This jewel of a place is spacious enough for two guests. You can’t find a better accommodation on the very edge of Surrey Hills.

4. Sheer opulence in a secluded woodland property (from USD 477)
A manicured lawn with big trees lies beyond what you’d call an upgraded barn gate. When you reach the building itself you’d know why it is classified as luxury accommodation. The host offers three furnished living spaces and a couple of bathrooms for guest use. You’ll find a lovely pool in the inner courtyard and a trampoline is ready to receive the children. But before you even see those, you will realize how pampered you will be as soon as you see the living quarters. Yes, they have hot tub and steam baths for guests. The outside patio is private, and a great place for getting a bit of sun.

5. Newly renovated garden retreat (from USD 184)
When you look out of the window you’d see garden blooming before your very eyes. If you feel like exploring the village you can come and go as you please. This guest house is all yours, and with it comes two double bedrooms and kitchen with a combination oven and microwave. Mezzanine floors offer additional bedding. There’s plenty of room for six guests who look forward to a countryside romp. The surrounding countryside offers plenty of surprises, but you can always stay in and play table football and table tennis instead.

6. Comfy and quaint cabin-style home (from USD 189)
A barn by any other name wouldn’t sound as accommodating. “The Nookery” says it all. It promises comfort and revival–a place away from it all. The cabin inspiration is evident in every nook and cranny, pun intended. The natural surroundings lend its beauty to what is a fitting temporary home in Surrey for you and your family. The wood-burning stove and outdoor barbecue should give you plenty of options on how to spend your time.

7. Modern meets rustic at barn and meadow escape (from USD 134)
Others would argue that all you really need is a barn in a meadow. If you are keen on experiencing the best of Surrey, you’d nestle yourself in a blue barn with contemporary fittings, a separate kitchen and comfortable living areas. The oak floors will remind you of heritage. The hotel-grade beds will tell of luxury. Indeed, you can have the best of everything at The Blue Barn. During your vacation in Surrey, it’s a perfect idea to live in a barn that is equipped as a house. When you feel like heading out you’d have an acre of meadow all to yourself!

8. Private spot for a weekend of rural romance
There is a cottage along a village lane that you need to see. It is located near Box Hill and other local attractions. This Airbnb listing is a private cottage with a courtyard where you can take your coffee, or perhaps sit down for a casual English afternoon tea. The stand alone retreat is ideal for couples looking for a romantic place that is also quite near local pubs. Parking is free but remember it’s a smoke-free (and vape-free) establishment as well. You won’t find it difficult to relax in the private garden, and the homey barn itself has all the comforts you expect from a holiday in Surrey.

9. Small but dog-friendly barn in a quiet neighborhood
This is a small accommodation in Surrey that is big enough for two. The bed is sizable for sure, and basic kitchen appliances should allow you to prepare simple meals with a microwave, toaster, and kettle. Bath essentials and a starter brunch will be prepared for you by your charming host. You’ll have the place to yourself, and it’s near local taprooms if you’re in the mood for a drink. If you don’t mind a small bath then Piglet Barn should be more than adequate for you.

10. Inspired barn accommodation in a quaint little village
A converted stable may not be the first place you have in mind for a vacation stay. But this one took the barn concept a few notches higher. Eastwood Road is a quiet place, and the surrounding countryside is the perfect setting for walks and tours of local historical spots. The cottage itself is a sight for sore eyes. Wait ‘til you see the old hayloft. What used to serve as a storage space for straw and hay is now a dedicated nook for sleeping. It took a lot of effort to transform a hayloft to an upstairs bedroom and as soon as you reach the top of the spiral stairs you’d be inspired for sure. Now that you know what to expect, isn’t it a great idea to book a converted stable in Surrey now?
