Guests are welcome to relax in our sunny garden and wander around the lake, or the more energetic may wish to enjoy a game of tennis or a walk along the numerous footpaths in the area, which include the Pilgrims Way.

The farm is run following the principles of integrated farm management in order to help the wildlife population and care for the environment, while still using modern technology. We are members of the Countryside Stewardship Scheme under which we have established beetle banks and uncropped headlands, and include fallow areas in order to boost bird numbers. We also belong to FWAG (Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group) and LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming).

In March and April watch the young lambs playing in the front fields from your bedroom. Guests are also welcome to visit the lambing barn.

The arable crops, wheat, barley, oil seed rape, peas, lupins etc are planted either in the autumn or spring and harvested from July through to October.

We have started the conversion process to organic status on all the grassland, enabling us to produce organic lamb and beef in a few years time.

We also have on the farm Trixie, our working sheep dog who is also a pet and Patch, a very friendly cat who likes to come for walks around the lake.

Places of interest within easy reach include Leeds Castle (5 miles), Sissinghurst Gardens, Canterbury, Rye, Tenterden, Ashford International Station (for Eurostar trains to the continent), Channel Tunnel and Channel ports.

We are one mile from Lenham village which is a pleasant 15 minute walk away through the fields. The focal point of the village is the Square, around which are the church (dating back to the 13th Century), various shops, two pubs and a restaurant. (See Links page for further information).

If you do not have transport, there is a station at Lenham which we would be happy to collect you from.
