Photos and Description of the Hawkhurst vacation house rental
Five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and lots of living space for up to 10 guests

Barnfield House is a light-filled, warm and well equipped family home on the edge of Hawkhurst village, with stunning countryside views from most rooms, and plenty of space for up to ten guests. Accommodation is spread over three floors, with the ground floor devoted to common living areas, five bedrooms and three bathrooms on the 1st floor, and a fourth bathroom and landing library on the 2nd floor. The living areas – large drawing room, sitting/TV room, study, and dining hall – are full of Asian antiques and artefacts, handsome furniture and comfy sofas. The kitchen is equipped for people who love to cook, and has an eight-seater farmhouse table for family meals overlooking the apple orchard. From the dining hall, bi-fold doors open onto a large deck with wisteria-covered pergola and teak table and eight chairs. The views from here are magnificent, with lawns sloping towards farmland beyond the boundary, and a large unfenced pond. By the kitchen is another patio for alfresco dining.

Not for nothing is Hawkhurst called the 'crossroads for the Weald'; It's the perfect base for exploring the many attractions of Kent and Sussex that keep families of all ages well entertained. Countryside drives reveal picturesque villages and pubs, including the Oak & Ivy Inn, famous gathering place for the infamous 18th century Hawkhurst smugglers. In addition to the famous National Trust and English Heritage historic castles, houses and gardens that attract many visitors to the area (Sissinghurst Gardens and the gardens of Great Dixter shouldn't be missed), there are many other experiences to consider, such as the Observatory Science Centre at Herstmonceux, Smugglers Adventure at Hastings, Hever Castle (home to Henry VIII's Ann Boleyn), and myriad museums covering everything from musical instruments to vintage cars, 1066 battlefields to 18th century smugglers. After all this activity, guests love returning to the comfort of Barnfield House. This 1938 home – made of Canadian cedar from its floorboards to roof shingles – has its own history: the large pond in the garden is thought to be the remains of an iron ore site from the middle ages!

Beautiful Barnfield House

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Apr 1, 2013
  • Stayed: Feb 2013
I booked Barnfield House for a winter break with friends. It is well located in the heart of the countryside, but a short drive from the nearest train station, and a 15 minute walk from a village with shops and pubs.

The house itself is beautiful and spacious, with enough room for 10 adults comfortably. The numerous lounge and dining areas make for good communal meals or enough room to escape from one another!

The booking process was easy and our hosts very welcoming and knowledgable about nearby walks, directions, local amenities etc.

A great house to escape from it all, which I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anybody.
