Great Field Farm House

Great Field Farm Bed and Breakfast and Self Catering accommodation is situated along a quiet country lane, in the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, about eight miles south of the Cathedral City of Canterbury in Kent and about seven miles north of Folkestone, yet only six miles from Junction 11 of the M20.

The farmhouse itself is set in forty acres including paddocks and pleasant south facing gardens.

“Sunset Lodge”, our new ground floor holiday unit, in a lovely private position with un-interrupted views over beautiful countryside, is now open for self-catering holidays or Bed and Breakfast with a DIY continental breakfast or traditional farmhouse breakfast when possible. Sunset Lodge has 2 en-suite rooms and has wheelchair access throughout the ground floor. Heating and hot water are provided by a geo-thermal heat pump.

With large picture windows you can appreciate the magnificent sunsets, wildlife, and changing countryside throughout the year.


Our breakfasts are always a treat with our home produced seasonal fruits, jams and juices, served with a wide choice of cereals and yoghurts, followed by an AGA cooked breakfast normally comprising local sausages, bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms, potato, fried bread and eggs from our own hens, but we are only too happy to accommodate any special requests or diets.
