About this property

***** Willow Cottage ***** Child Friendly Holidays. DISCOUNTS available -call!

Willow 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.

Great property in the countryside
The cottage is a super little house with a well kitted out kitchen. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, as did our daughter. We had a nice welcome from our host and a nice welcome pack on arrival. There are plenty of climbing frames and a couple of trampolines in the field across the road which was great (one caveat here is that they are all aging a bit and I wouldn’t have trusted climbing on them my self, but my 4 year old loved it!). The other slight negative was the power of the shower, I would recommend installing a pump here as when the head was put up to deal with my height, it was quite weak. With these two exceptions though, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend the cottage!

Great accomodation; wonderful host.
Willow Cottage was all you could want for a two person, restful break. The setting is wonderful if what you want is natural surroundings and wonderful gardens. The host (Katie) did everything possible to make our stay relaxing including offering practical help when we had car trouble. The welcome pack was also great. Many thanks, Katie for a great week.
