We are passionate about supporting and showcasing the diversity of independent Kent businesses - not just to Kent residents, but also to our visitors.

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. From the farm grounds, you'll have 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!
