Hensill Farmhouse - Self-catering house in Kent
Hawkhurst, TN18 4QH, Kent
England,
Reino Unido
This stand-alone, scrupulously renovated Victorian gardener's cottage sits on a private estate up a winding farm track and has plenty of space for four. Downstairs you'll find a sitting room with a wood-burning fire, soft-coloured walls and an uncluttered feel. There's also a study for those who need to work. The kitchen is semi-open to the sitting room making it a good gathering space and you're left a very generous welcome hamper with locally-sourced produce. In summer you can wander out to the terrace through double glass doors.
Upstairs are two tranquil bedrooms with deep mattresses, crisp white cotton and lovely views over the countryside. One has an en suite shower, the other a family bathroom – both are warm and pretty with fluffy towels and soaps and lotions from Oast & Rye.
Enjoy sociable cooking and eating in the lovely kitchen, settle down for a film in front of the fire, or walk just under a mile to the Eight Bells pub.

Local points of interest from Elizabeth Goodburn:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Elizabeth Goodburn:
- This corner of Kent is a garden lover's paradise. See if you can get around them all, from the white garden at Sissinghurst Castle to the Arts and Crafts style at Great Dixter, to horticulture royalty Sarah Raven's own garden at Perch Hill.
- Young and old will delight at our local history. Stand on the site of the Battle of Hastings, scale the ramparts of the stunningly well-preserved 14th century Bodiam Castle or explore the romantic moated ruins of Scotney Castle's picturesque gardens.
- Take a day trip to the picturesque Cinque Port of Rye. Browse the galleries and antique shops, visit historic Rye Castle, refuel at the great High Street cafes and pubs and stride out along Rye Nature Reserve or the miles of sandy beach at Camber Sands.
- Outdoor enthusiasts will love the miles of well marked and maintained mountain bike, running and hiking trails through Bedgebury National Pinetum. You can rent bikes on site and reward your efforts with treats in the well stocked onsite cafe.
- Gastronomes should book in at Michelin green starred The Smallholding at Kilndown. Serving a set menu celebrating the best of regional ingredients and home grown produce, brothers Will and Matt Devlin put sustainability at the heart of everything they do.
- All good holiday cottages need a great pub within walking distance and the 8 Bells on the Moor in Hawkhurst does not disappoint. Come for the jolly atmosphere and locally sourced food and drink; settle in by the fire or in summer relax in the sunny garden.
