Places To Visit

We are 100 yards from the entrance to Sissinghurst Castle and its World famous gardens.

We have our own parking area in front of the house and disabled access at the side of the house.

The south facing garden has well stocked borders and a large flat lawn where guests can enjoy a high tea or watch the sunset.

There are some fantastic local walks to enjoy including one to the best pub around - the Three Chimneys - which Frazer often volunteers to lead... Just ask and we'll give you details

Chapel Down, Tenterden

England's leading winery is at Chapel Down, Tenterden and is just 12 km away, where there is a fantastic shop featuring local produce, a very good restaurant (Richard Phillips at Chapel Down - again make sure you book!), tours of the vineyard, free wine tastings and a beautiful setting including a herb garden. The wine is simply World Class, and is the only wine we serve at the Farmhouse! Call the vineyard on 01580 766111 for tours and winery information or call 01580 761616 for reservations at Richard Phillips at Chapel Down

The Three Chimneys

The Three Chimneys does great food too and is a beautiful pub with a rich and interesting history. You won't find a better pub with better food and service anywhere...

The Bull

... unless you go to The Bull at Benenden (6 km), where Mark and Lucy offer good hearty fare, great beer, music evenings and the friendliest of welcomes from an eclectic mix of customers and terrific staff. An award-winning pub at the very heart of its community.

The West House in Biddenden

Graham Garret and his wife Jackie run this innovative michelin starred restaurant in Biddenden - just three miles away. Very resonably priced, it comes with our strongest recommendation! Fantastic!

Apicius, Cranbrook

Michelin starred excellence just two miles away in the centre of Cranbrook. Reservations a must, and don't be late!

Digital Cinema, Hawkhurst

There is a digital cinema in Hawkhurst (10 km) featuring the best of the latest releases and The Queens Hall in Cranbook usually has something interesting on, but for other live events, Tunbridge Wells has a busy social and cultural centre, and the wonderful city of Canterbury with all its cultural diversity can be reached in well under an hour by car.
