Barnfield House is a huge family holiday home in Kent, close to the East Sussex border and in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is on the outskirts of Hawkhurst village and within walking distance of shops, cafes and country pubs.
Barnfield House is no anonymous holiday let, but a proper family home where the owners live for months at a time while they are in England. There is space for up to ten people to sleep in the five-bedroom, four-bathroom house. There is also potential to squeeze in two more children under two years old if necessary, making it very popular for holidays with extended family or friends. The massive two-acre garden is another fantastic feature, providing areas for playing football and cricket, and a large pond shaded by oak trees.
The Weald of Kent area is one of the most picturesque regions in the South East, justifying its nickname as the Garden of England. Hawkhurst is the perfect base for exploration, having a Waitrose supermarket, Kino digital cinema, and a good choice of independent places to eat, drink and shop, including some wonderful country pubs. There's something for the whole family to enjoy. National Trust's Bodiam Castle, Sissinghurst Castle Garden and Scotney Castle are all within easy reach, while Leeds Castle and Hever Castle - home to Anne Boleyn's family - is just over half an hour's drive away. Other local attractions include the Rare Breeds Centre, Battle/1066 Country, the Observatory Science Centre at Herstmonceux, the gardens at Great Dixter and award-winning wineries.
Walking and cycling are always popular activities. You can do both at Bedgebury Pinetum as well as Bewl Water, which also has fishing, sailing, boating, canoeing, and an aqua park with inflatable obstacles. There are five golf courses within a small radius, outdoor adventure centres to try activities like archery and quad biking, as well as riding stables. The seaside towns of Rye, Hastings, Pevensey (with its beautiful castle), Bexhill and Camber Sands are all within easy reach for a day at the beach.
Whatever your reason for staying at Barnfield House, whether it's getting together with your extended family for a milestone celebration, catching up with friends you haven't seen for ages, or just getting away with your kids for a relaxed holiday, the setting and standard of hospitality leave you wanting for nothing.
