About this property

Hensill Farmhouse, Hawkhurst , Kent,

Nestled amongst farmland and woodland, Hensill Farmhouse is a wonderfully isolated, 19th century cottage incorporating elements from a neighbouring Tudor house. The cottage has been beautifully refurbished to include 21st century comforts such as underfloor heating, a well-equipped kitchen and a Smart television.

A lovely escape throughout the seasons, the sitting room has a cosy wood burning stove for winters’ evenings, and french doors open out from the kitchen to the patio area, where you can sit in the dappled shade of the mature fig tree, which bears delicious fruit in late summer. The wraparound gardens boast views of the surrounding farmland and woodland. The two bedrooms provide flexible accommodation with one featuring a zip and link bed which can be configured as super-king size or twin singles. Bedroom one benefits from an en-suite shower room, while bedroom two has use of the family bathroom.

Although tucked away down a quiet track, Hensill Farmhouse is within walking distance of a good pub and only a five-minute drive from Hawkhurst’s well-appointed High Street with a butcher, baker, pharmacy, independent cinema as well as supermarkets. The Weald is a stunning area of England, blessed with natural beauty and steeped in centuries of fascinating history.

The property was even better than the lovely photos. The location is idyllic and the house is adorable. We enjoyed 5 beautiful days in this quiet and peaceful cottage. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and the check-in and check-out process was seamless. Thanks for renting us the property. We’ll be back.

About the host

Hosted by Rural Retreats Holidays Ltd

Host profile image
Having moved to Kent with our young family in 2019, we refurbished the farmhouse in its entirety using the highest quality finishes with a playful, colourful design. Good sleep is a top priority for us on our own holidays so we invested heavily in our generous super-king beds from Hypnos and high-quality bedding used in The Pig hotels. We absolutely love sharing the stunning High Weald of Kent with our guests. There is so much on offer here from ancient castles to dazzling gardens, from acres of woodland to windswept beaches, and from the cosiest pubs to the highest quality fine dining. Come for the peace and tranquillity; leave feeling rested with perspectives reset.
