Peaceful adults-only getaway on an eight-acre Kent farmstead
Half an hour's drive from Hythe and Rye
Family-run site just over a quarter of a mile from a pub
Planning a rural retreat in Kent? Then take a closer look at Westover Smarden, a satisfyingly simple adults-only farm site located half an hour inland from the pretty coastal towns of Hythe and Rye.
This peaceful eight-acre farmstead is located about 20 minutes' walk from the quiet village of Smarden, where there's a pub, a tennis court and a cricket pitch. Handily, Westover Smarden is also located roughly a quarter of a mile from another well-reviewed pub, so you’ll have plenty of choice.
The site itself is a relaxed kind of place, with basic facilities like a chemical toilet disposal point and a standpipe keeping guests supplied with fresh running water. Pet owners, meanwhile, will like the fact that well-behaved dogs are allowed here throughout the camping season.
At Westover Smarden, the pitches aren't all crammed into a tiny area, so there's ample room for vehicle parking as well as an adjacent field that’s available for picnics and strolling (when it's not being used for grazing by the farmstead's livestock). Every part of the site has vistas over trees and neighbouring farmland, meaning you'll feel surrounded by nature throughout your time here.
Things to do
The historic village of Smarden is within easy reach of lots of Kent's best visitor attractions. In the immediate vicinity, spots like the county's Big Cat Sanctuary (10 minutes' drive) are sure to please animal lovers, while adventurous visitors can try out wing walking, parachuting and other aeronautical activicites at Headcorn Aerodrome, 10 minutes away from base.
Next up, treat yourself to a glass or two of English wine at one of Kent's popular vineyards like the one at Biddenden (15 minutes), or head to Tenterden (30 minutes) for its historic steam railway, microbrewery and beer festival. After, stroll through the grand grounds of country estates like Sissinghurst, Scotney and Leeds Castle, all of which are within half an hour's drive of base.
Another big plus of staying here is that you can reach the beach relatively easily, with Camber Sands (40 minutes) for those bucket and spade days as well as maritime heritage spots like Hythe and Rye, both of which are reachable within 30 minutes. Hastings, a popular seaside spot in Sussex, is 50 minutes away, while driving down to the bright lights of Brighton takes about 90 minutes.
