About this farm stay rental

Hop Farm is a charming farmhouse with all modern amenities, dated 1715 with its own, exclusive and astonishing, full-size heated indoor pool, which ranges from 3ft to 6ft in depth, 6 bedrooms, four bathrooms and parking for 6 cars.

Hop Farm offers accommodation normally for 12 persons. Up to two extra persons are allowed and are charged at a nominal rate of £60 per person per night for which they are provided with sleepover beds. Babies in arms are free of courage .
We have a three-night minimum stay.

Hop Farm is brilliantly situated in the back-of-beyond real farming country of East Kent, yet it is less than 2 hours from London by car, 1 hour by high-speed train, within 30 minutes of the Channel Tunnel and Ferry ports, and 45 minutes from Ashford for Eurostar (Paris or Brussels 2 hours).

Hop Farm has a beautiful all-weather heated swimming pool for your exclusive use, Wi-Fi, barbecue, with seating up to 14 and two table tennis tables.

There is also a 5-a-side football pitch.

Next to Hop Farm is our beautiful, private grass tennis court which we can share with you. Just ask when booking should you wish to use it. Hours available are 11am to 1pm daily. You will need to bring your own racquets, tennis balls and tennis shoes. Being grass, the court is closed in the autumn and winter, normally October to May.

Hop Farm is surrounded by fields and lovely Kent orchards which are ideal for country walks. Coppers Bistro in the nearby village of Preston, the Anchor Inn, Wingham and the Duke William, Ickham we can recommend for family meals.

Interesting places to visit nearby include historic Sandwich (with several golf courses including the world-famous Royal St George's Golf Club), Canterbury with its world-renowned Cathedral, city walls and designer shopping and the nearby vineyards for Kent wine.

There are many children's attractions very near, including Wingham Wildlife Park, the famous Howletts Zoo, Roman Richborough Castle and Ramsgate, Margate and Deal beaches. Dover Castle, the second-biggest fully-intact castle after Windsor, is always a hit with children. And then there is the astonishing Whitemills Wake and Aqua Park at nearby Sandwich, just the thing for the young - as well as those of us not so young who would just like to experience the thrill of childhood once again!

When booking please remember to let us know your reason for booking and the number of guests in your party. Thank you!

The property is very impressive , easily designed to support our family of 10 adults and two children and a dog. The large bedrooms and modern bathrooms were very suitable. The reception areas were comfortable and well appointed. The well appointed kitchen allowed meal prep. Overall the property could be described as period and charming. The high success was the in-door pool which the family thoroughly enjoyed. The terrace welcomed bbqs and family gatherings in the sun with ample seating and umbrellas. More entertaining was the tennis court, play area and sheep tended in the nearby field. The location is wonderful in the garden of Kent with apple orchards and sunflower fields in the vacinity. This was an excellent family holiday location.

9 of us ages ranging between 12 and 76 plus dog had a great weekend. Lovely house in rural, peaceful location. Very well equipped, plenty of room inside and out and fantastic facilities. Lovely warm welcome from Jenny the friendly housekeeper. Everyone loved the amazing pool, some played tennis (badly) courtesy of the owners private court, some played boule and others relaxed. EV charging on site was a bonus. We visited Canterbury en route to Hop Farm and Sandwich (can recommend the Crispin Inn for lunch) and were sorry to leave.

The property is big, clean and really well equipped. The pool and tennis court were perfect for our group of 6 adults and 6 children as we all enjoyed using them. The rural location is perfect for a secluded getaway but still with some great places to visit nearby. The hosts were excellent and very accommodating.

The family,3 generations, was celebrating a 70th birthday. Perfect place for this! The house is very comfortable and easily accommodated us all. We had a private chef come and cook on the Saturday evening which worked well. BBQ on the Sunday. Kitchen and BBQ both well equipped.The swimming pool was a big hit with the children and therefore the adults! Jenny was very helpful. The surrounding area is lovely.
