When you enter the property, you are greeted by a fabulous open plan living space with a dining area and fully equipped kitchen.

This is the perfect spot to enjoy breakfast or your evening meal while taking in the peace and tranquillity of the countryside.

This holiday home is the perfect base for keen walkers and cyclists. There is a path that runs through the farm taking you all the way to the Downs walkway, making your first walk easy to access as it starts outside the property. The area surrounding the holiday home is a hot spot for cyclist and walkers. If cycling and walking is not what you are after then take a trip to Royal Tunbridge Wells less than 10 miles away, which offers shopping, restaurants, cafés and bars.
Not far from Royal Tunbridge Wells is High Rocks, an area steeped in history dating back millions of years. Once a stone age camp, it is now a place that provides a scenic walk in a tranquil woodland setting with impressive sandstone rocks interlinked with eleven bridges. There is a pub opposite that serves food making this a great spot for a day out.
A little closer to home you will find quintessential country pubs within walking distance of the Tractor Shed. Hasting’s beach is a 30-minute drive away and Scotney Castle less than 10 miles. There is so much to do in the area you will be spoilt for choice.

The Tractor Shed was very well equipped, two single bed mattress could do with renewal as springs could be felt. A good welcome basket and milk.Our second visit and hope to return to this very peaceful and beautiful place.

The Tractor Shed is a great place to stay. Its spotlessly clean, very comfortable and very spacious for 4 people. The local area is quiet and beautiful. Down the road there are pubs and village greens. Local walks and green space abounds. Also, however, there is close access to the A21 and Tunbridge Wells and all it has to offerPlease not that the Tractor Shed is part of a small working farm, so bear that in mind in terms of getting the occasional country / farm smellsWe would highly recommend staying at Tractor Shed as it is a fantastic place set in the rural countryside, but close to amenities and local walks and pubs

This property is well equipped and if you take a dog, you don't need to bring along all the paraphernalia, as it is all provided. Located on a working farm with livery for horses and a dressage paddock where you can watch riders training their horses. A short drive to Hastings and Rye for seaside enthusiasts and a really good restaurant in Matfield. 'The Poet' where we celebrated a big birthday!Bring along a pint of milk, as the welcome pack, whilst extensive, didn't include any milk, which is all important for that first cuppa, post a long drive. You'll love it. We'll be going back.
