***** Dairy Cottage *****, Child Friendly Holidays. DISCOUNTS available -call!

Dairy Cottage at Hamptons Farmhouse is located in the beautifully rural area between the villages of Plaxtol and West Peckham, close to Sevenoaks and Tonbridge in Kent, the Garden of England. 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 End and other tourist attractions are in easy striking distance for an evening or day out.

Beautiful and cosy country stay.
A great place to be immersed in the gorgeous Kent countryside. We stayed at Dairy Cottage, which stayed true to it’s listing on the site. The children particularly enjoyed sleeping in their ‘attic’ space. The property is well stocked with cooking equipment and is hearted nicely for those colder evenings. The best bit for us was exploring the extensive grounds (lots to do for the kids) and enjoying walking directly from the cottage, along public footpaths, to nearby pubs. Andy was very friendly and gave us a guided tour of the grounds on arrival and answered any questions we had promptly. Also, the info booklet on sight is very thorough, with all you need to know about the property and the surrounding area. We had a fantastic stay - Thanks Andy and Katie.

Wonderful stay in the Kent countryside…
I stayed at Dairy Cottage for 10 days while visiting my parents recently. It was absolutely wonderful! What a gorgeous place to stay…I enjoyed several afternoons sitting in the peaceful gardens and soaking up the beauty of the surrounding countryside. The cottage was perfectly equipped with everything I needed and so comfortable - it really felt like a home away from home. The underfloor heating in the bathroom was such a treat to wake up to on a cool morning, I’m really missing it now I’m back home! Andy & Katie were the perfect hosts and kindly checked in with me to see if I needed anything. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again when I next visit the area! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful Cottage & Fantastic Hosts
We loved our stay at the Dairy Cottage over the Christmas holidays, and would definitely return. The cottage was tastefully decorated and thoughtfully appointed, and the hosts Andy and Katie were very helpful with all our questions and needs. Little touches like a welcome bottle of red wine and a small supply of groceries go a long way!! We highly recommend the Dairy Cottage!

Relaxing and great for kids
We had a really fun and relaxing week here. There is lots for kids on site - swings, sandpits, toys, play areas - and it is really safe. Our two are aged 4 and 2. Katie and Andy were very kind, welcoming and helpful. The house is really well situated for exploring the High Weald and Kent Downs. We loved Bodiam Castle and Standen and just generally being in some great countryside. The cottage we stayed in was clean and well furnished. The only word of caution is regarding the second bedroom which is in the eaves up a ladder - ok for our 4 year old but not for the younger one. We knew this before arriving. It was not a problem though and our boy loved going up the ladder pretending to be a fireman!! Thanks to Andy and Katie. Really recommended.

Great vacation location
Our stay with Katie and Andy was absolutely amazing. The farmhouse is beautiful and the surrounding gardens are huge. It was a great playground for our two years old. The cottage was great, big enough for a family, well equipped and charming. In short, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend staying with Katie and Andy

Wunderschöne Unterkunft in Kent
Das Cottage ist hervorragend dazu geeignet, einen erholsamen Urlaub in Kent zu verbringen. Viele Sehenswürdigkeiten sind sehr gut zu erreichen (auch London ist nicht weit). An der Ausstattung fehlt nichts. Ein riesiges Gelände mit Feuerstellen, Spielgeräten und Teichen kann von den Gästen mitgenutzt werden. Die Vermieter sind sehr gastfreundlich und hilfsbereit und geben bei allen Fragen gerne Auskunft. Vielen Dank Andy und Katie für einen perfekten Aufenthalt in Eurem Cottage.

Perfekter Ort für Familienurlaub
Wir waren das erste Mal in England und haben die Zeit auf der Hamptons Farm sehr genossen. Man kann an diesem zauberhaften Ort die Ruhe genießen, während die Kinder die Farm mit den unzähligen Möglichkeiten zum Spielen (Klettern, Schaukeln, Fußball, Basketball, Tennis u.v.m.) erkunden. Die Hamptons Farm ist optimal gelegen um Ausflüge in alle Richtungen zu unternehmen und einen Großteil von Südengland zu erkunden. Auch London ist innerhalb kürzester Zeit bequem mit dem Zug zu erreichen. Die Ferienwohnung ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und mit allem was man zum täglichen Leben benötigt ausgestattet. Wir können diesen wundervollen Ort und die sehr netten Vermieter nur empfehlen und kommen mit Sicherheit ein weiteres Mal zu Besuch.

Zauberhaftes kleines Cottage mit Stil
Wir waren als Familie mit zwei 14 und 17 Jahre alten Kindern eine Woche zu Gast im Dairy Cottage. Bei unserer Ankunft wurden wir von Andie und Katie herzlich begrüßt und in die Räume eingewiesen. Zu unserer großen Überraschung und Freude gab es ein tolles Begrüßungspaket mit Kaffee, Milch, Butter, Wein, Osterschokolade und anderen Süßigkeiten. Ein herrlicher Strauß mit Frühlingsblumen zierte den Esstisch. Tagsüber waren wir einige Male mit dem Zug von Sevenoaks ausgehend in London und haben Hever Castle und Chartwell House besichtigt. Man benötigt zwar für all diese Ausflüge ein Fahrzeug, allerdings ist alles gut zu erreichen und man genießt im landschaftlich sehr reizvoll gelegenen Cottage eine wunderbare Ruhe. Leider hatten wir aufgrund des noch recht kühlen und feuchten Aprilwetters nicht wirklich Gelegenheit, das großzügige und interessante Gelände mit Tennisplatz, Feuerstelle, Riesentrampolin, Teich mit Paddelboot und Gypsi-Caravan zu nutzen. Die Betten war sehr bequem und kuschelig; allerdings sollte man für das Doppelbett eher nicht größer als 1,80 m sein. Das Betr ist ca. 1,40 m breit und hat eine gemeinsame Decke. Auf dem Heuboden haben die Betten keine Begrenzung am Kopf- und Fußende und es gibt zwei einzelne Decken. Die Woche war für uns sehr erholsam und interessant zugleich. Wer einen entspannten und stilvollen Aufenthalt mit abwechslungsreichen Ausflügen innerhalb Südostenglands inklusive London sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Familie Tanswell hat mit den typisch englischen Cottages einen wunderbaren Platz für tolle Ferien geschaffen. Danke, Katie und Andie, für alles und herzliche Grüße.

Nette Cottages in ruhiger, ländlicher Umgebung
Liebevolle private Anlage mit vielen Spielmöglichkeiten für Kinder. Guter Tennisplatz (kein Beton wie sonst so häufig sondern Teppich). Netter zurückhaltender Service mit erstem Proviantpaket mit allem notwendigen zum Frühstück. Sogar frische Blumen im Cottage. Insgesamt sehr schön eingerichtet und zweckdienlich auf für schlechtes Wetter (England!). Mehrere wirklich nette Pubs im Umkreis aber zu Fuss dauert es schon etwas. Dafür ist London gut zu erreichen mit Bahn und Auto ( haben wir nach Greenwich gemacht). Reiseinfos sehr gut organisiert von Andy! Insgesamt weiterzuempfehlen.

Wunderbar!
Wir haben zwei wunderbare Wochen im 'Dairy Cottage' verbracht, welches klein, aber zauberhaft mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet war. Besonders gut haben uns die ebenerdige Dusche und die geräumige Wohnküche gefallen. Unsere Kinder ( 9 und 11) hatten viel Auslauf auf der großen Spielewiese, auf der sie sich auf Trampolinen und auf der Seilbahn amüsieren konnten. Viel Spaß hatten wir alle auch an den Tieren, zB an der Hühner- und Entenschar, die den ganzen Tag auf dem Gelände rumstreifen und immer auf der Suche nach Futter waren. :) Unsere Gastgeber waren sehr herzlich, immer ansprechbar und hilfsbereich. Die Farm liegt allerdings mitten im Nichts, ohne einen eigenen PKW kommt man wohl nicht sehr weit, wenn die herrliche Umgebeung auch zu Spaziergängen einlädt und es schöne Pubs, Farmshops etc zu entdecken gibt. Wer Ruhe und schöne Landschaften mit atemberaubenden Sonnenuntergängen mag, der findet hier ein kleines Paradies wie aus dem Märchen. Wir kommen im nächsten Jahr auf jeden Fall wieder!

Liebevoll eingerichtetes Cottage in toller Landschaft
Herrliche Umgebung, gemütlich und liebevoll eingerichtetes Cottage und die vielen Möglichkeiten für Kinder (14-16) und Eltern, das war ein toller Urlaub. Die Nähe zu London, zur Küste, die sehr reizvolle Landschaft und der Tennisplatz haben uns sehr gut gefallen. Auf dem riesigen Gelände kann man sich vollkommen frei bewegen, es war sehr angenehm.
