    “What more can we say.”

    .. this is now our third visit in just one year! The accommodation is truly delightful and exactly the kind of getaway we need. The farm itself is such a highlight too; the owners are lovely and welcoming, and it’s been great exploring the grounds and meeting the animals - especially the goats, the chickens, and the ducks and geese around the pretty pond.

    .. this is now our third visit in just one year! The accommodation is truly delightful and exactly the kind of getaway we need. The farm itself is such a highlight too; the owners are lovely and welcoming, and it’s been great exploring the grounds and meeting the animals - especially the goats, the chickens, and the ducks and geese around the pretty pond. If you don't fancy travelling, you can just stay at the farm and enjoy the grounds, which we certainly did when we brought our dog on our second visit! We were total 'aliens to Kent' having never holidayed in this part of the country before, but we’ve been really impressed by how much there is to do. The farm is ideally situated for exploring; by car, it’s an easy drive to places like Broadstairs, Margate, Dover, Folkestone, Deal, and Canterbury. We even made it to Dungeness Beach. We never in a month of Sundays imagined we'd get to see a decommissioned nuclear power station up close, let alone have dinner in a pub just a few hundred yards away from it! There are way more places than that to explore nearby too, including three amazing zoos: Wingham Wildlife Park, Howletts Wild Animal Park, and Port Lympne Wild Animal Park (we haven't made it to that one yet but look forward to doing so). There’s never a shortage of things to see and do, and there is even an excellent Chinese takeaway just three minutes away by car. For us, it’s just the perfect base in a beautiful location in the Kent Downs.

About the location

LYMINGE

Folkestone 5 miles; Hythe 6 miles; Canterbury 12 miles; Dover 14 miles; Ashford 15 miles; Ramsgate 21 miles; Whitstable 22 miles.

The village of Lyminge lies in southeast Kent and is only five miles from Folkestone and the Channel Tunnel, on the road passing through the Elham Valley. Lyminge is surrounded by farmland and ancient forests. There is a wide variety of flora and fauna and wildlife in the surrounding area, including badgers, various species of deer and wild boar which are thought to have escaped from farmed populations. It is a thriving village with lots of local shops, a pub serving excellent food which also hosts regular event evenings, a coffee shop, a hairdressers and a library. The parish church is well worth a visit, being the oldest building in the village; it has stood since 633AD and has had a rich and varied past. Lyminge has been the focus of many archaeological digs in recent years, and jewellery, weapons and glassware have all been uncovered. Numerous footpaths and bridleways criss-cross the meadows and woods around this lovely part of Kent, so why not pack a picnic, dust off the metal detector, and set off to explore ancient woodland and see if you can find a piece of the past? Lyminge is perfectly situated for trips to historic towns and the coast. In less than 20 minutes you can be strolling along cobbled streets and admiring Canterbury Cathedral or lazing on a beach enjoying the sounds of waves as they wash against the shore. With the Channel Tunnel only five miles away, why don't you spend a day enjoying the delights of Belgium or France? Shop for cheese, wine and chocolates, saunter along by the Seine, dine alfresco at a quaint little bistro and still be home before the sun goes down. A wonderful holiday location.
