About this cottage rental
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.

It was our third stay at willow cottage and like every time it was wonderful. Katie and Andrew are very kind and the cottage is very cozy. We will come back soon!

We visited this cottage for the second time: and again it was lovely... friendly people, beautiful surroundings & close to London (with public transport). We would certainly reccommend it for families with (small) children!

We had a fantastic week in the Willow Cottage.
Such a peaceful place and beautiful area to rest and enjoy with our family.
We hope to come back soon!

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!

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.

We stayed 19 days at Willow Cottage with our two year old daughter. The weather end of March was very wet, but in April it was better. Our daughter could use the facilities at the play area. Do not forget rubber boots and mud trousers. For those who expect quietness and country life, you will love it. For those who expect closeness for example to a supermarket or a swimming pool, you won‘t reach it without driving. And for all German people, the roads in England are not as good as we are used to have in Germany, there are a lot of very tight country roads. Our Cottage was very good arranged with everything we needed. Katie and Andy were very friendly and helpful. Thank you for having us and for the lovely decoration with sweets, fruits, flowers, and much more in our Cottage. We‘d love to come back.

Great little cottage in a rural location. Has everything you could need for a lovely week away.

We loved our time at Willow cottage. The accommodation had everything we needed and our 2 and 5 year old had so much fun spending hours exploring the grounds. The zip line, playhouse, sandpit and trampolines were their favourites. Such a fun, family-friendly stay in a beautiful part of the Kent countryside, we highly recommend it.
4.8
The cottage was great, all facilities needed were supplied, there even were some products as welcome. The farm is really quite, with some animals and lots of facilities to enjoy your stay (tennis court, table tennis, and lots of playground equipment). Tonbridge is a nice city within a 10-15 minutes drive. Visiting London is ideal from here, driving for 15 minutes to a train station and taking the train of 30 minutes and you are in the middle of the city centre. We would definitely come back in a few years.

Very relaxing holiday in beautiful, peaceful surroundings
We couldn’t have enjoyed our week in Willow Cottage more! The cottage was clean and well maintained with a very well equipped kitchen including a small dishwasher. The bed was very comfy too! The grounds are absolutely gorgeous with lots of activities for children.
This was my first visit to Kent and to say that I was impressed would definitely be an understatement. We visited castles and gardens and ate out a couple of evenings at local pubs/restaurants.
Katie and Andy are lovely hosts and very welcoming. What more could you want!?

Peaceful location
We stayed at willow cottage for 2 months whilst having our house renovated and it worked very well for us as a base with out 2 children. The kitchen is very well equipped and access to the washing machine and tumble dryer in the shared utility room was extremely useful. The cottage was very warm, cosy and comfortable and in very peaceful surroundings. The sofa bed was reasonably comfortable although we did take our own mattress topper. The cottage was a little on the snug side for a family of 4 to stay for a long period but we managed and the outside space was amazing. Our children loved playing out in the field on all the play equipment, there is a zip wire, lots of climbing frames and playhouses and 2 big trampolines. We also did a few walks direct from the cottage and the surrounding area is beautiful. Andy and Katie were really welcoming and helpful if we needed anything (particularly during Storm Eunice and the powercut!) Overall would highly recommend a stay at Willow cottage

Highly recommend
We spent a week here and it has been extremely pleasant and very relaxing. The host has been helpful and friendly, the property accommodating and spacious. The location sublime on the farm with many animals and many activities for kids, from trampoline to zip wire and playground. For adults a tennis court full size well equipped and access to bikes for kids. Safe and beautiful green gardens with pond and beautiful setting up a hill with great views.
We had everything we needed and more and its been a very pleasant stay.
We would highly recommend as it is such a great place and close to National Trust Ightham Mote, Bodiam Castle and others NT locations. Also close to the seaside and Hastings. Nice drive on country lanes, surrounded by green fields and lovely rural villages.
The owners are super friendly and have been super good making sure we have everything we need and providing ample support with surroundings and in general very good attitude towards guests.
Also close to Fishing Farms and Leeds Castle.
The property itself is beautiful and clean, with wooden floors and fully fitted kitchen, there s a Sainsburys close by and a number of pubs and restaurants.
We will come and stay here again. We had such a great time here.
Dream like location and super pleasant atmosphere.
Highly recommend! 💖

Spent a lovely week at Willow Cottage in July. The welcome pack was very generous and the cottage immaculate and well appointed. Our grandchildren loved the facilities and looking after them has never been easier. The hosts, Andy and Katie, were welcoming, friendly and helpful without ever being intrusive. We enjoyed fantastic weather so all in all a perfect family break. Would definitely book again

Willow Cottage was so well planned out that I felt at home the moment I walked in. Katie and Andrew had obviously taken great care in providing everything their guests could need. Kitchen was well equipped, towels were big and fluffy and the furnishings and pictures were charming. Definitely exceeded my expectations.

Willow cottage is the perfect getaway away from the hustle and bustle. It has everything you need and the welcome pack was very generous and much appreciated. There’s lots of places to visit or you can just walk from the cottage and enjoy the scenery. There’s a children’s outdoor area which would keep them happy for hours with zip wire, tree house, trampolines and more. Would definitely recommend.

Peaceful hideaway with plenty of places to visit
Perfect cottage for a couple, well equipped and comfortable. Although there are many facilities for families, the garden is plenty big enough to find a quiet seat to relax and take in the view. You can walk directly from the property along public footpaths, to local pubs or to the nearby National Trust property and there's lots of places to visit within an hours travel to keep you occupied for a week or longer.

Wonderful!
We loved staying here and really enjoyed playing tennis and table tennis in the beautiful surroundings. Andrew was very welcoming and informative and we were greeted with a lovely welcome food pack which was much appreciated. There were lots of lovely things to do in the area and great eateries. Would definitely return, many thanks!

Another wonderful stay!
Willow cottage is a beautiful, charming and cosy cottage. It has everything we need and more for a happy holiday. We have 2 children aged 6 and 10 who excitedly dash out the front door of the cottage each day, eager to explore the grounds and have fun on the zip wire. The views across the countryside are stunning and make us want to sell up and escape to the country every time we visit! There is plenty to see and do in the surrounding areas and we always receive a very warm welcome from the Tanswell family. This is our fourth time at the Hamptons farmhouse simply because it is what it is, a child friendly holiday! Our children ask us each year if were coming back and its a no brainer, we absolutely love it.

A piece of heaven in West Peckham !
Two weeks at willow Cottage certainly wasn't enough. The cottage and surrounding grounds are idyllic. Cleanliness is outstanding. The cottage is well equipped. Very comfortable bed, soft towels and linen. Hot water and heating accessible on demand. A well informed visitors book with heaps of information concerning the local amenities, maps and guide books on hand too. A generous welcome pack on arrival which I feel sure I could have comfortably lived off for at least a week. I truly relaxed here, it was perfect. Thank you Katie and Andy for being fantastic hosts.

Very comfortable, well equipped and so very child friendly.
All the cottages are very pretty. They are comfortable, well furnished and well equipped. On arrival there was a basic selection of provisions and a vase of flowers which was very appreciated and homely. The gardens are beautiful with plenty of out door eating areas. The rabbits, sheep and ducks are great to watch. There is so much for children to do at this place, trampoline, forts, zip wire, tennis, plenty of bikes and scooters. Katie and Andy are very welcoming. What is noticeable is that the children are free to explore and make the most of the activities without endless warning signs, restrictions or ‘no go’ areas. Would love to stay here again when in the area and friends who visited thought it was wonderful.

Lovely , relaxing stay.
Excellent accommodation. Very peaceful relaxing location with easy access to many local attractions. A very warm welcome in a rural idyll. We will definitely return. Thank you Katie and Andrew for sharing your wonderful home.

Séjour excellent
Cottage charmant, cosy, à la décoration soignée, très bien équipé. Il est situé au milieu d'un vaste domaine spécialement aménagé pour les enfants. Nos enfants ont particulièrement apprécié le trampoline et le terrain de tennis mais nous avons aussi beaucoup joué au tennis avec eux.
Nous avons profité de la semaine pour sillonner en marchant et en courant les sentiers de la région, les footpaths, dont un passe derrière le domaine. Pratique.
Excellent accueil.

Beautiful rural retreat
We have stayed in Willow Barn on a number of occasion and as ever a delightful place to stay with all modern conveniences, hot water (lovely warm bathroom!) heating, comfortable bed with fresh bedding and towels every week, and perfectly equipped for a self catering holiday. It has been lovely staying more so in December when Andy and Katie went full on with Christmas lights, even providing real trees for each of the barns. We have enjoyed the barn in all seasons and can recommend as a wonderful place to stay whatever time of year. Our grandchildren love it and they are made to feel welcome and have free run of the beautiful gardens and surrounding fields. They also get to handle and feed rabbits and ponies and delight in the noisy antics of the ducks and chickens that wander freely around.
Andy and Katie are perfect hosts and have created a lovely place for others to visit.
