Tucked away near the tiny hamlet of Harty on the Isle of Sheppey, The Farmhouse is a spacious and welcoming retreat - perfect for gathering family and friends under one roof. This charming red-brick house sleeps up to 21 people across eight comfortable bedrooms, offering space to spread out and relax, both indoors and out.
Whether you're planning a special birthday, family celebration, or a long-overdue reunion, The Farmhouse - and the four other cottages on Mocketts Farm - provide everything you need for a memorable stay. When booked together, the estate sleeps up to 53 guests across 23 bedrooms, giving larger groups the best of both worlds: togetherness with room to breathe.
Just a short stroll away, The Ferry House - our 2AA Rosette award-winning pub and restaurant - is a fantastic spot for a long lunch, relaxed dinner, or celebratory meal. Run by the same team who care for Mocketts Farm, guests can expect a genuinely warm welcome, excellent service, and incredible food from local suppliers and our kitchen garden.
Please note, The Ferry House will close for regular dining from April 2026, reopening on select dates for special events. Private dining for larger groups may be offered, subject to availability – please contact us for further details. In-cottage catering will still be available.
Crossing onto the island feels like a true escape. With big skies, peaceful marshes, and miles of unspoilt countryside, life slows down here. Spend your days exploring the Isle of Harty Trail, walking to Shellness Beach, or simply sitting out with a morning coffee listening to the birds.
There’s plenty to enjoy nearby: birdwatching at Elmley and The Swale nature reserves, beach days at Leysdown, Minster or Sheerness, golf, horse riding, clay shooting, and local museums. For day trips, Canterbury, Maidstone and Bluewater Shopping Centre are all within an hour’s drive.
The Farmhouse is also dog friendly, with a fully-fenced, dog-safe garden and access to the onsite dog exercise paddock, available to all Mocketts Farm guests when pre-booked.
From cosy winter weekends to big summer gatherings, The Farmhouse is a place where lasting memories are made. With flexible rates for mid-week breaks, last-minute trips, and longer stays, it’s ready to welcome your group all year round.

Living & Dining
The heart of the house is a huge, open-plan space that brings everyone together - with comfy sofas, a big dining table and a well-equipped kitchen, all thoughtfully designed for sociable stays.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
All eight bedrooms have their own ensuite bathroom, comfy beds made up ready for your arrival, and plenty of space to settle in.

Step outside into your own fully fenced, dog-friendly garden - perfect for morning coffees, garden games or simply soaking up the countryside peace. There’s a flat lawn, a patio with seating, and parking right outside the house.
You’ll also have access to Mocketts Farm’s shared grounds and our bookable dog exercise paddock, a favourite for four-legged guests.
