Welcome to Great Prawls Farm
Great Prawls Farm is an exceptionally pretty sheep farm in an area of outstanding natural beauty high on the former sea cliffs of the 'Isle of Oxney' with extensive views and sunsets. It straddles the sunny south-east borders of Kent and Sussex so there are many places to visit in either direction with Gardens and National Trust properties in plentiful supply.
The medieval towns of Rye and Tenterden are ten minutes drive and the sandy beaches of Camber just 15 minutes.The minature steam train of Romney Marsh runs to Dungeness Lighthouse for a climb and the Tenterden Steam train to Bodiam Castle for a picnic.Great Dixter renowned gardens and N.T. Sissinghurst and Ellen Terry House are very nearby.As is the RSPB at Dungeness.
The cottages have extensive views with peace and tranquillity, ideal retreats. Take a walk on one of our farm trails or watch the sunset over the valley and the birds soaring with a glass of wine and a good book and just unwind. Both cottages are 4 star E.T.B and very comfortable to ensure a relaxing holiday.
We work with Kent Wildlife Trust & Natural England to improve our environment and there are wildlife and birds to be seen. on the farm with self - guide walks available. France and London for day trips are but a short hop.
Our holiday cottages have been a farming family business since 1978 and you are assured of our personal supervision.

Our farm enjoys fresh air and uninterrupted views for miles, ideal for relaxation with a good book or take the children to the stretches of Camber Sands for sandcastles or a romp on the extensive Fairlight Fire Hills. A walk along the Royal Military canal from anywhere between Pett Level, through Hythe to Burmarsh can be rewarding. Lots of coast for a quiet swim. You can see as many or as little people as you wish! Note.we are not providing towels this year because of covid.
On the the farm we have lovely peaceful farm self guided trails for only our visitors to walk and spot the wildlife after a hard day's holiday making! Maybe a glass of wine on the patio watching the sunset would be a less strenuous!
Kent & Sussex renowned gardens are open again. National Trust gardens Sissinghurst, Scotney, Batemans and Sheffield Park, plus Great Dixter too - looking as beautiful as ever, most have a booking system so maybe consider that before you come on a Friday. Hole Park at Rolvenden with it's lovely woodland walks & tea shop is open without booking. Port Lympne Zoo is open and the steam trains albeit with a slightly restricted service.
Rye Harbour reserve and RSPB nearby all have walks and space to view the birds and botany and Camber Castle on a footpath is nearby. Rye & Tenterden are jewels of antiquity to explore at a safe social distance..
We do however request you to be respectful to others and not visit us, if you have or have been exposed to Coronavirus (Covid19) recently. Please read terms and conditions before booking.
REVIEW Left on May 18 2019
My wife and I spent a lovely week at Tamworth Cottage. Pat and Lizzie are very welcoming and offered helpful advice about nearby places of interest. If you are looking for a break with perfect peace and tranquility, you need look no further than this. I will not repeat other reviewers’ positive descriptions of the location and views but can vouch wholeheartedly for them. Trevor,Weybridge
Where we are
We are located near the village of Stone in Oxney, in between Rye in East Sussex and Tenterden in Kent. The farm is a 20 minute drive from Ashford, where links to the M20 motorway, Eurostar, Channel Tunnel or Dover Ferry Terminal, can be found. From Ashford, the fast train to London St.Pancras takes just 38 mins, for a day out exploring the capital.
Close to everywhere but away from it all, Great Prawls Farm is the perfect base from which to explore Kent or East Sussex, or just rest, relax and unwind.
