Very clean. Host was very friendly and met us as we arrived. Showed us around and was very accommodating. We were very happy. Cottage was also well stocked with enough plates/cups/glasses, coffee machine, dish washer. Had a table either side of the cottage and one with an umbrella. They reached out in advance in order to make sure the beds would be in the needed arrangement for us.

Wonderful stay in the Kent countryside

The cottage was marvellous and spacious for 5 guests. The outside space was great for the children to play and explore and feeding the donkeys was an added bonus. Many thanks to Steve and Tina for making the stay a very pleasant one. I would highly recommend the property for a family stay.

Lovely Cottage

Rowan Cottage was lovely, it was cosy, neat and the space was just right for a party of five. The grounds are spacious and home to hares and foxes which we saw often coming in or out. A walk round the neighbourhood was also refreshing. A car is a must to get around.verall, an enjoyable experience!

Hi, we're Steve and Tina, owners of Hawthorn Farm Cottages. We moved here in 2016, taking over from the previous owners, and have been transforming the cottages and the grounds ever since! Our aim is to provide a comfortable home-from-home base at any time of year so our guests can enjoy the perfect Kentish holiday...
We are passionate about supporting and showcasing the diversity of independent Kent businesses - not just to Kent residents, but also to our visitors. We hope that your stay at Hawthorn Farm will be a great opportunity for you to explore the beauty of our county, and to sample the wealth of resources that Kent has to offer - giving you plenty of special holiday memories to treasure.

Why they chose this property

Hawthorn Farm sits within a remote and peaceful setting in East Kent, and yet it is also within easy reach of some fantastic blue flag sandy beaches, championship golf courses, wildlife parks, ports/marinas, charming seaside towns and of course the historic Cathedral City of Canterbury. Our charmingly renovated self-catering cottages therefore provide the ideal accommodation not just for family holidays, but also as a handy base for cycling or walking holidays; a quiet idyll for a romantic break in the countryside; or a comfy holiday home from home for anyone seeking some much needed rest and relaxation away from the hustle and bustle of their daily lives. There's definitely something to please everyone! Being less than 30 minutes from the Channel Ports and Tunnel, Hawthorn Farm is also a perfect base for anyone wanting to enjoy a day trip to France... Or if you're visiting from mainland Europe, it's an easy to reach and perfect location for exploring Kent, London and the South of England.

What makes this property unique

Hawthorn Farm now includes just under four acres of land, including donkey paddocks, hay/wildflower meadows, landscaped gardens and large shared playing field - with plenty of space for children to play outside. The holiday cottages have unique and uninterrupted views of the paddocks, meadows and surrounding fruit orchards. So you can enjoy an afternoon picnic under the shade of a parasol, or put your feet up with a cold glass of something nice, whilst watching the sun go down on those long summer evenings... There's a choice of farm shops and independent grocery stores near to Hawthorn Farm, where you can buy a wide range of award-winning locally grown fruit and veg, as well as Kent-made produce and essential groceries: sampling the local produce is a must at least once when you're visiting The Garden of England!
