About this property

***** Stable Cottage ***** Hamptons Farmhouse, Child Friendly Holidays

Stable 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

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.

Idyllic family holiday
Converted farm buildings in the middle of the Kentish countryside, with everything children could possibly want: zip wire, gypsy caravan, tennis court, tree house, lake, rabbits - as well as the odd mobility scooter. 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!

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.

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.

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!
