Welcome to

Whitfield Farm

Whitfield Farm is an historic fine timber framed Elizabethan house dating from around 1580. Recent research carried out when the house was renovated, reveals that it stands on the site of an even older house.

The house has been fully restored and sympathetically updated and there is full central heating adding to your comfort during your stay.  Whitfield Farm stands in 35 acres of glorious farmland with lovely rural views from all rooms.

Whitfield Farm is situated just outside Biddenden in the centre of the beautiful Weald of Kent.  Many famous local features are just a few miles away, from historic gardens (such as Sissinghurst Castle) to the “loveliest castle in the world” (Leeds Castle which is a 20 minute drive away) and other attractions such as the steam trains run by Kent and East Sussex Railway from Tenterden (5 miles distant) which runs to Northiam in East Sussex.  The Kent towns of Canterbury, Tunbridge Wells, Hastings and Rye are within easy reach, and sandy beaches at Camber Sands are within 30 minutes drive. There are award-winning vineyards at Biddenden and Lamberhurst which you can visit and taste the wines.

Biddenden has four restaurants and pubs, including the Michelin-starred West House, all of which are within a few minutes by car and most can be reached within 15 minutes on foot.  The wider locality boasts a wealth of restaurants, and pubs and Tenterden (5 miles) is particular popular with a full range of different cuisines to choose from. 

For those feeling energetic, sporting facilities such as Bewl Water for watersports, local golf courses including the famous Nick Faldo-designed Chart Hills are nearby.  There is more leisurely walking in Hempsted or Bedgebury forests, and a wealth of local footpaths and country lanes to explore.  Guests are welcome to ramble around our farm where there are several picturesque ponds to discover.

We are very well located for the Channel Tunnel at Ashford International Station and the Kent ports of Dover and Folkestone. There is a mainline rail connection at Headcorn (5 miles) to London in around an hour which makes sight-seeing, and visits to theatres and shows, an additional attraction.
