From the owner

Dairy Cottage at Hamptons Farmhouse is a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

This gorgeously converted original working dairy with wonderful, is nestled in stunningly beautiful courtyside between the villages of Plaxtol and West Peckham 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. It is an easy journey to London, only 35 mins from Sevenoaks to Charring Cross by train. From there the London Eye, Theatre land, Covent Garden, Leicester Sq, West End and other tourist attractions are in easy striking distance.

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. The woodland tree-house with 'super-slide'; secret dens; seven dwarf's woodland playhouse,;climbing trees; and farmhouse animals add to the overall blissful experience.

You really don't have to leave our site but Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks are 15 mins drive away, with Tonbridge closer still, and each have shopping, swimming pools and an abundance of restaurants.

Larkfield swimming leisure centre has wave machines, water rapids, water slides, whirlpool with plug plunge and a 25m pool for swimmers as well as an animal themed toddler pools is 9 miles away.

Hop Farm Family Park, with Giant Jumping Pillows, Magic Castle, Funfair rides, Animal Village, Indoor Soft Play, Outdoor adventure play area and '4D' cinema is just 7 miles away.

Kent Life is a 28 acre, premier heritage farm attraction that encompasses a wonderful farmyard with a family of friendly animals ranging from donkeys, horses and ferrets to piglets, goats and lambs, many of whom are reared on site. 13 miles.

Bewl Water is a fabulous outdoor centre and lake with aqua orb hydro balls, kids fishing , model boats, mini golf, cycling, sailing, regattas, dragon boat races, food and craft festivals and much more throughout the year.17 miles

Kent has 42 beaches of its own but the closest ones to Hamptons Farmhouse are in East Sussex at Hastings, Pevensey, Camber Sands, Bexhill and Eastbourne which are about an hour or so away depending on where you end up.36 miles

For those who like shopping there is Bluewater, one of the largest shopping arenas in Europe with over 330 stores and restaurants plus three leisure villages

Golfers have a huge local choice with 6 courses within 3 to 9 miles including Knowl Park and Kings Hill

We are just 1 hour away from the Channel Tunnel.

We have free superfast WiFi with speeds normally in the 20-200Mb/s range. We may be rural but we do have fibre optic broadband.

    Response from the owner
    Vielen Dank für Ihre freundliche und ausführliche Bewertung – wir hoffen auf viele weitere Besucher aus Deutschland – so wie vor dem Brexit. Vielen Dank, dass Sie so gute Gäste waren und wir hoffen, Sie wiederzusehen. We stayed here from mid to late October and loved it. The house, the property, the entire environment - everything is really great and family-friendly. On the property there are many opportunities to relax or do something together with the children or play. So many different squares and beautiful corners - there is something to discover every day. Of course, it also depends on how much time you want to take for it and what else you have planned. But it doesn't get boring just around the holiday home. The environment is also unique. Some great trails to use for a hike or a short walk. With a little bit of luck with the weather, you can take the best pictures even if you don't have much talent as a photographer (I speak from my own experience ). For excursions there are some destinations in the near and far. London is also easy to reach. From the train station in Tonbridge to eg Charing Cross about 50 minutes. There are a number of good restaurants and pubs – for example: The Kentish Rifleman, Swan on the Green (reserve in advance if possible). Shops can be reached in a few minutes by car. Not an issue simply because of the proximity to Tonbridge. The supply in the holiday home can therefore be mastered without any problems. Washing machines and tumble dryers are a great help for worn laundry. Everything else that is needed is there. And the hosts are very helpful and approachable. What more do you want? We enjoyed the time very much and wish Katie and Andy many happy guests Thank you for your kind and detailed review - we hope to see many more visitors from Germany - as we did pre Brexit. Thank you for being such good guests and we hope to see you again.

    Response from the owner
    Vielen Dank für Ihre freundliche und hilfreiche Bewertung. Sie sind sehr willkommene Gäste und wir hoffen, Sie noch einmal wieder zu sehen. We were in England for the first time and enjoyed the time on the Hamptonton Farm. You can enjoy the calm at this magical place, while the children explore the farm with the countless opportunities to play (climbing, swinging, rocking, football, basketball, tennis and much more). The Hampton's farm is optimally located to take excursions in all directions and explore a large part of southern England. London can also be easily reached by train within a very short time. The apartment is very lovingly furnished and equipped with everything you need for daily life. We can only recommend this wonderful place and the very nice landlords and will definitely come to visit again. Thank you for your kind and helpful review. You are very welcome guests and we hope to see you again another year.
