Amazingly quiet and peaceful, set in 9 acres of land, all that can be seen is rolling countryside, yet we are just 32 miles from the centre of London with all its theatres, tourist attractions, shopping and cultural activities. The four holiday lets include Stable Cottage , Willow Cottage Dairy Cottage and Little Apple Barn all of which are beautiful conversions, finished to a very high standard and all benefit from the outstanding location and facilities of Hamptons Farmhouse. On our 9 Acre site there is so much to do: past the cottages unfolds the beautiful gardens with duck pond on which you can paddle around on the row boat. Or play open air table tennis under the shelter of the barn; take afternoon tea on the lawns or if you feel more energetic play croquet or even tennis in the all weather courts. The Hamptons Farmhouse site is very child-friendly, it is safe and secure (including the water areas) but is filled with adventure and excitement. The ‘Fort’ is a camouflaged climbing frame with swings, monkey bars, climbing wall and 40m zip wire. By the giant redwood tree, on which swings and trapeze hang, is the massive 17’ x 12’ super bouncy Jump King trampoline. The genuine gypsy caravan is a cosy place to chill out for children and adults alike. Secret dens, seven dwarf s woodland playhouse, climbing trees, treehouse in the woods, sandpits, toddler areas and playground and farmhouse animals add to the overall blissful experience. For adults, there are so many areas of the gardens and land where you can sit and read; listen to birdsong or simply wander around. Local walks abound, one passes by the edge of our land and leads you through orchards to wonderful local pubs such as the Kentish Rifleman or 20 mins rural walk in the other direction to the Swan on the Green pub restaurant with its own microbrewery for those who like to try local ales. WiFi is super fast as we have a fibre line into the property. You should get speeds of 20-200Mbs. The four holiday homes, Stable Cottage, Willow Cottage, Dairy Cottage and the Little Apple Barn at Hamptons Farmhouse are the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of our busy lives but an easy journey to London just over an hour away and only 35 mins from Sevenoaks to Charring Cross. From there the London Eye, Theatre land, Covent Garden, Leicester Sq and West ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village ### Things to do - Foosball table - Golf - Table tennis - Tennis - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 560 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/22000000/22000000/21992200/21992138/60e68d2c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A recently converted Kent ragstone coach house near Sevenoaks. nr Sevenoaks - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-13&endDate=2025-11-14&selected=21992138&PinnedHotelID=21992138&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96040000/96038500/96038415/abac193c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lovely Kent cottage with rural Medway views Tonbridge - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-13&endDate=2025-11-14&selected=96038415&PinnedHotelID=96038415&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99900000/99896500/99896495/d6cf2e92.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pass the Keys | Lovely Countryside Coach Cottage Tonbridge - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-13&endDate=2025-11-14&selected=99896495&PinnedHotelID=99896495&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32920000/32913400/32913373/2df0a43f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 1 bedroom accommodation in Pembury, near Tunbridge Wells Pembury, near Tunbridge Wells - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-13&endDate=2025-11-14&selected=32913373&PinnedHotelID=32913373&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116390000/116384400/116384363/5b430840.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### COSY NEW BUILD TOP FLOOR APARTMENT OVERSEEING FIELDS IN KENT, FAMILY-FRIENDLY!

This is one holiday where children won't complain about being bored. But it's not just the children who will have an unforgettable time. The cottage is within pleasant country walking distance of two excellent pubs, and there are a range of different national trust castles and gardens all easily accessible. And if you want a day out in London you can also get there within an hour by driving to the train station. Overall this is a fabulous holiday home and the owners - Andy and Katie - are the perfect hosts, hospitable and welcoming and also ready to help whenever you have a question. So for an English country holiday with the family you can't do better than this. Which is why we have now been back four years running! ##### David C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hannah F. 16 Oct 2018 #### absolutely idyllic! This was our 4th stay with Andy and Katie, we love it and will be coming again next year. It is so beautiful here and there is so much for the kids to do - we can't get enough of it. Andy and Katie are super helpful and friendly and so generous with their time and space, it's fantastic. A real antidote to city life. ##### Hannah F. ### 8/10 Good #### Meinolf S. 22 Aug 2018 #### toller Urlaub auf sehr schönem Gelände Die Wohnung ist sehr schön und alles was man braucht. Die Kinder fanden das Gelände am besten, sehr viele Spielmöglichkeiten und vor allem das große Trampolin. Für die Eltern gibt es viele Sitzgelegenheiten auf dem Gelände. Sehr schön ist der Entenmarsch von kleinen Teich zum Stall, immer wieder lustig. Eine wunderbare Ruhe hat man zum Erholen und ist trotzdem schnell in Tonbridge zum Einkaufen oder Eis essen. Nach London kommt man auch schnell mit dem Zug. ##### Meinolf S. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daphne W. 1 Jun 2018 #### Perfekter Urlaub Wir wohnten als Familie mit zwei Kindern (11, 8) eine Woche im Stable Cottage bei Andy und Katie. Als wir ankamen wartete schon der Gastgeber Andy, begrüßte uns herzlich und zeigte uns die Unterkunft und das Anwesen. Im Cottage stand neben einem sehr umfangreichen Willkommenspaket (u. a. Kaffee, Brot, Butter, Marmelade, Milch, Wein) ein frischer Blumenstrauß. Wir fühlten uns sofort gut aufgehoben. Das Cottage war in hervorragendem Zustand, sehr gut ausgestattet und wunderbar eingerichtet. Das Anwesen selbst ist ein Paradies für Kinder und Eltern: Jede Menge Platz, viele schöne Orte zum Verweilen und sehr viele Spielmöglichkeiten für Kinder (u. a. eine Seilbahn!) und Eltern (Tennisplatz). Der nächste Ort, Tonbridge, ist sehr gut an London angebunden. Man ist von dort in knapp 35 Minuten in London. Perfekt für eine Verbindung von Sightseeing in London und Urlaub auf dem Land. ##### Daphne W. Stayed 7 nights in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marnix M. 4 May 2018 #### A Paradise for Children! This is really a fantastic place to visit with young children. The sheer amount of play equipment is overwhelming, and the atmosphere on the English countryside is stunning. Andy and Katie are wonderful hosts, and the cottage is nicely furnished and richly equipped. Highly recommended! ##### Marnix M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jörg E., Rheinbach, NRW, Deutschland 10 Apr 2018 #### Ein sehr schöner Urlaub in Kent In den Osterferien 2018 haben wir eine Woche im Stable Cottage wohnen dürfen. Das Cottage hat uns sehr gefallen. Die Einrichtung passte gut zum Charme des Hauses und vermittelte direkt ein Wohlfühlgefühl. Das Haus war gut ausgestattet und sehr sauber. Die Vermieter hatten eine Essensgrundausstattung und ein nettes Ostergeschenk zum Einzug überreicht. Das direkte Umfeld des Hauses ist zum Spielen für Kinder sehr gut geeignet. Es sind viele Spielgeräte zur Nutzung vorhanden. Das Highlight war für unseren Sohn der schöne Tennisplatz. Auf dem Hof leben neben Enten, Kaninchen auch Hühner, die sich gerne füttern lassen. Wir würden die Unterkunft für einen nächsten Urlaub in Kent auf jeden Fall auswählen. ##### Jörg E.

Das Cottage ist klein, aber sehr gemütlich und qualitativ hochwertig eingerichtet. Das Grundstück ist für Kinder aber auch für Eltern ein Traum. Wir wurden sehr herzlich begrüßt, es gab ein üppiges Willkommenspaket und eine sehr hilfreiche Infomappe. Highlight der Kinder waren die Ponys und die Seilbahn, die Eltern haben sich besonders an dem allmorgendlichen Besuch der Hühner und der Laufentenparade erfreut. Alles in allem ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt, die Kinder fragen schon, wann wir das nächste Mal fahren. ##### Gesa L.

Stalles gegeben. Alles ist mit Auge fürs Detail eingerichtet, hochwertig und sauber. Für Kinder (insbes. jüngere) ist es ein Paradies, die Außenanlage ist großartig! Meinem Mann und mir hat u. a. die Möglichkeit, Tennis zu spielen, sehr gefallen. Die Nähe zu London und diverse Reiseziele in der Nähe machen dieses Cottage zudem sehr attraktiv. Da die "Gastfamilie" selbst fünf Kinder hat, ist es auch nicht ausgeschlossen, dass sich der ein oder andere "Smalltalk" ergibt, ganz nach Belieben... ##### marion P.

We, a Dutch family with two kids (10 & 7) spend a wonderful week in Willow Cottage. We received a very nice welcome on arrival, including a welcome package with diffent foods and fruit. Andy and Katie are good hosts. The pictures give a good idea of what you can expect. The cottage was very clean and cosy. We choose this cottage but next time we'll pick one of the other cottages with real beds instead of the sofabed. The surroundings are really pretty. There are several hiking paths directly from the property. We enjoyed the views! Our kids especially liked all the play areas Andy and Katie made for kids to play. We have made several trips to London, during our stay. We took the train from Borough Green station (ca 15 min drive) and within 45 min we were in the middle of London at Victoria Station. With the travelcard which we bought on the station we were able to use the busses as well as the underground. Worked really well. Our kids travelled for £1 each by train, the subs were free for them. We would definately stay here again and recommend it to you! ##### Ruth K.

We were not disappointed when we stayed at the Kent property. The cottages are within a fully modernised stable building which retains the charm of the country setting but is modern and very comfortable. Andy and Katie are awesome hosts providing all you need for your stay including great information packs with information on things to do around the area. Our children (who vary in age from 7 to 17) enjoyed exploring the property and watching Andy try and catch moles! Thanks for a wonderful stay we will be back. ##### Dale D.

Always nice to have a welcome pack especially if you are late arriving. The owners are helpful and friendly and welcome children .They have 5 of their own and understand the needs of small children and that is why they have plenty of outdoor activities for them ##### Margaret T.

An absolutely wonderful experience. Having 2 small children we could not have asked for more. despite the cold british weather we still enjoyed the grounds. i couldn't believe the attention to detail. the little wendy house was well equipped for my little ones to keep them occupied all morning. then came the zip wire - they couldn't keep away. so many activities to make them happy. everything was in such good condition. The cottage was perfect - including a full equipped kitchen with cast iron pans! Beautifully furnished and personal touches including roses! convienently provided with essentials - a kind gesture appreciated by all members of our family. the hosts - lost for words.... a lovely couple who were most helpful. Andy and Katie made our holiday one to remember and we cant wait to return in the summer. in fact we dont want to leave! such good value. the Christmas lights were a bonus which andy and katie put up early for our little ones, and indeed did light up there eyes! made it more beautiful than it already was. magical! the amenities were so convenient. everything was provided and more. would definitely recommend this to everyone. a hearty thank you to Andy & Katie... see u soon ##### Baljit D.

Cottage is schoon, gezellig aangekleed en voorzien van hetgeen nodig is. Groot is het niet (2 vol.+ 2 kleine kinderen), maar wij hebben niets gemist. Wij hebben bovendien het grootste gedeelte van de tijd buiten doorgebracht. Voor kinderen is er heel veel ruimte en zijn er veel speeltoestellen en mogelijkheden. Er zijn diverse zithoekjes in de grote tuin met prachtig uitzicht op de omgeving. De cottage ligt behoorlijk afgelegen. Uiteraard is er altijd een pub in de buurt, maar dat is dan ook het enige op loopafstand (20 min). Voordeel is dat je volledige rust hebt. ##### W v.

Das Haus ist liebevoll mit allem, was man so braucht, ausgestattet und auch an kühleren Herbsttagen schön warm. Wir haben die Aussicht auf den weitläufigen Garten genossen, die vielen Ausflugsmöglichkeiten in der Umgebung und die Nähe zu London. Das Highlight für unsere Kinder (9 u. 12 Jahre) war das kleine Boot auf dem Teich, aber auch der Tennisplatz, das große Fußballtor und das Crocketspiel wurden genutzt. Ganz herzlichen Dank an Katie + Andy für einen sehr schönen Urlaub! ##### Hartmut B.

The facilities however are second to none. If you have small children and want to get away from it all then this is the place. Fantastic fun - trampolines, tree houses, zip wire, the most beautiful surroundings. We just loved it. Highly recommend. ##### Alli M.

Andy and Katie the owners were very welcoming and friendly. The cottage itself was well maintained, modern, clean and had all the utilities you need for a relaxing holiday. The views from outside the cottage were super. We brought our twins who are nearly 3 years old and they had a great time there playing on the toy cars, trampolines, swings and in the little play house. There was enough to keep them occupied for hours. In the cottage there was a this welcome pack that was really useful in deciding on other things to do outside Hamptons Farm. Overall a super holiday and we would certainly visit again. ##### John K.

Things like having some bread, butter, jam, and milk (not to mention the wine and the chocolates) mean a lot when you have just been driving for 12 hours south from Scotland :-) The cottage is lovely, compact, but everything you need is there! The huge gardens around the house and cottages is every kid's (and thus parent's) dream. Lots of pubs (2 on walking distance) for lunches or evening meals around and last but definitely not least: park your car at closeby Sevenoaks railway station and within 30 minutes you are in central London! ##### Alies B.

Everything you need is present in the cottage. The ‘guest guide’ present in the cottage is very clear and helpful. The garden is really wide and it’s a real pleasure for children and also for parents. The property is directly connected to national footpaths. Hens, rabbits, sheep contributes to relaxing holidays in the middle of the nature. It is a lovely, peaceful retreat and a great base from which to go and visit the country. ##### Pierre L.

The cottage was beautifully presented and extremely well maintained. It was a real home away from home with gorgeous vistas, undisturbed tranquility and plenty of things to do around (especially useful for families with children e.g. zip-wire, tennis court, large trampoline, tree house, bikes and scooters to be used with permission, and PLENTY more). I had an absolutely fantastic time in Stable Cottage, the owners were always happy to assist. The cottage itself was very well equipped and there were no issues at all.There was Wi-Fi, with great speed considering the rural surroundings, TV, and a bounty of lovely treats to welcome the guests on arrival. I can't recommend it strongly enough! Utter bliss! ##### Ilona C.

We were back from the middle east for a visit. Stable Cottage proved to be a great base for us. Andrew and Katie were very welcoming both to us and to our visitors. The cottage itself is clean, well maintained and well fitted out. We were lucky with the weather and were able to sit outside and enjoy the lovely grounds. We also made good use of the tennis court. We have already recommended it to our friends and family. ##### Richard and Julia G.

Das "Stable Cottage" ist ein sehr schönes, sehr gut ausgestattetes Appartment mit reichlich Platz für die ganze Familie. Das Gelände, auf dem sich dieses und weitere Cottages befinden, bietet für Kinder und Erwachsene reichlich Möglichkeiten, sich auszutoben. So sind neben einer Seilbahn, einem Trampolin, einem riesigen Baumhaus auch ein Tennisplatz, Klettermöglicheiten und viele weitere Möglichkeiten vorhanden, sich vor Ort zu beschäftigen. Wir haben Stable Cottage auch als Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge nach London (mit der Bahn zügig zu erreichen), Oxford und an den Strand genutzt. Hierzu sind allerdings etwas längere Autofahrten nötig. Alles in Allem ein toller Ort mit vielen Möglichkeiten und sehr freundlichen Vermietern. ##### Wilfried O.

And again it was great! The cosy cottages, the hospitality of the owners and their children, the wonderful gardens around the cottages, it is an oasis! Our children loved playing around or visit one of the many parcs and castles. We will return again! ##### Jojanneke v. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Coppid Beech Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bracknell-Hotels-The-Coppid-Beech-Hotel.h3809.Hotel-Information) > > [Carden Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Carden-Park.h190780.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stansted-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Stansted-Airport.h18464320.Hotel-Information) > > [Stratford Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Stratford-Manor.h27936.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashford International Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Ashford-International-Hotel.h527123.Hotel-Information) > > [Retallack Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Columb-Major-Hotels-Retallack-Resort.h4537229.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Sand Bay Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weston-Super-Mare-Hotels-Sand-Bay-Holiday-Village.h11443695.Hotel-Information) > > [St Michael's Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falmouth-Hotels-St-Michaels-Resort.h2951426.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Stratford Upon Avon by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Stratford-Upon-Avon.h11307.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Norbreck Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Norbreck-Castle-Hotel.h6377.Hotel-Information) > > [Eastwell Manor, Champneys Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Eastwell-Manor.h905662.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollins Hall Hotel, Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shipley-Hotels-Hollins-Hall-Hotel.h63744.Hotel-Information) > > [Chesford Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenilworth-Hotels-Chesford-Grange.h920291.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Folkestone-Hotels-Grand-Burstin-Hotel-Folkestone.h1201483.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mill Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-The-Mill-Hotel-Spa.h1695656.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel Manchester Ashton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashton-Under-Lyne-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Manchester-Ashton.h1848975.Hotel-Information) > > [The Winchester Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-The-Winchester-Hotel-Spa.h26080.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton at St George's Park, Burton Upon Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Hilton-At-St-Georges-Park.h5094740.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Manchester, Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Manchester.h120016.Hotel-Information) > > [The Spa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Royal-Tunbridge-Wells-Hotels-The-Spa-Hotel.h8849.Hotel-Information) > > [Hythe Imperial Hotel Spa & Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Hythe-Imperial-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h9108.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rutland Arms Hotel, Bakewell, Derbyshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bakewell-Hotels-The-Rutland-Arms-Hotel.h792056.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Beach Club & Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Harbour-Beach-Club-Hotel-Spa.h2261933.Hotel-Information) > > [Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newquay-Hotels-Fistral-Beach-Hotel-And-Spa-Adults-Only.h1895493.Hotel-Information) > > [Worcester Whitehouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worcester-Hotels-Worcester-Whitehouse.h18498.Hotel-Information) > > [Cotswolds Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-Cotswolds-Hotel-Spa.h13106835.Hotel-Information)
