Kingshill Farmhouse - Self-catering house in Kent
Kingshill Farm
Elmley Nature Reserve, Sheerness, ME12 3RW, Kent
England,
Regno Unito
A magical transformation of a beautiful old house, which is totally off-grid. Look after yourselves (the kitchen is a cook's dream and you can order supermarket food ahead which will be unpacked for you) or upgrade to be cossetted incredibly thoughtfully from breakfast to a relaxed or formal supper and housekeeping in between.
Bedrooms have underfloor heating, walk-in showers, deep windowsills, pretty fabrics and vintage finds. Light a roaring fire for wintery nights, settle with a whisky in the snug or in the library full of books and games. On sunny days you'll be eating outdoors in the lovely big gardens where you'll find a gas barbecue and a firepit (complete with blankets and marshmallows) for when the stars come out.
You have 3,300 acres of nature reserve to explore (book onto a wildlife tour to learn more), miles of nature trails to wander and your own shell beach with sheltered swimming at high tide. Yoga, massages, all is possible.

Elmley Bookings:
- Elmley is a huge wild landscape, a 3,300 acre estate which is both a working family farm and National Nature Reserve. Kingshill Farm sits in the middle of the Reserve, with miles of unspoilt views.
- Wildlife conservation has been central to Elmley for over 40 years. The large seasonally changing wetland is a renowned wildlife site. Elmley is home to thousands of birds, from waders to birds of prey, many of which breed successfully here.
- When walking our nature trails listen carefully for Reed Bunting, look up for Marsh Harrier and Owl and from the hides keep watch on Curlew, Lapwing, Egret and many more.We have a number of mammals on the reserve including water voles and hares.
- Each season brings its own highlights. Autumn sees mesmerising starling murmurations and arrival of the Short Eared Owl, Winter the arrival of tens of thousands of migratory wading birds and wildfowl and with them birds of prey,
- Spring the new life with fledging chicks, and leverets (baby hares), summer a chorus of Marsh Frogs, arrival of swifts and other warm weather migrants, along with butterflies, drargonflies and water vole. The sight of boxing hares in Spring is amazing
- Elmley is a great base for exploring the many well-known areas and attractions across Kent: historic towns, wonderful beaches, and amazing local food. Sheppey itself is an historic island and has some fascinating places to visit and more wildlife walks
