We have 3 excellent self-catering cottages which sleep 4 people.

Our Kent Holiday Cottages
The cottages are located on our 115 acre working farm, in a beautiful coastal position giving cliff top views over the Thames Estuary. There are horses on the farm with hay and cereal crops being grown. There is also a small area of young woodland. Each year, some areas of the farm are left to grow wild for the benefit of wildlife.

In South Barn there are three holiday cottages. Each holiday cottage has a lounge with colour TV and digital receiver (digital reception may be affected by weather conditions) a fully equipped kitchen with washing machine, a bathroom with hand basin, WC, bath & shower cubicle and two bedrooms.

Isle of Sheppey is a small island off the North Kent coast and is approximately 9 miles long by 5 miles wide. It is connected to the mainland by two bridges. There are traditional seaside towns on the island, such as Leysdown and Sheerness and there are the heritage towns of Queenborough and Blue Town which are rich in cultural heritage.
The long beach at the Lees, Minster is also very popular with visitors. Part of this beach is reserved for bathing and other parts are used by the many windsurfers that visit the island for the excellent conditions that are particularly suited to the sport of windsurfing. Fishing from this beach is also very good.
