Golfing holidays at Hawthorn Farm

Kent has a long-standing golfing history, and it's easy to see why this part of Kent in particular attracts both amateur and professional golfers from all around the world. 

One of golf’s most prestigious tournaments, The Open Championship, has been hosted in Sandwich 17 times, and we we're absolutely delighted after an uncertain 2020, that the Open will be returning to Royal St George's in July 2021! The first time the Open was played outside of Scotland was in 1894 at Royal St George’s, and it has returned to club 13 times. If you would like to enquire about staying at Hawthorn Farm during the Golf Open, please go to our special Golf Open Page.

Hawthorn Farm Cottages in Kent is an ideal holiday destination for golf lovers

The accommodation 

The five charming holiday cottages within the farm are managed as a family business by Tina and Steve Newman, who have worked hard to develop a great reputation for their warm, "can-do" approach to hospitality. The cottages have received numerous effusive 5* reviews since they took ownership and began a programme of refurbishment in September 2016. Tucked in the midst of Kent's iconic fruit orchards, these comfortable cottages are ideally located for you to make the most of the fantastic golfing opportunities in the area!

With four 2-3 bedroomed cottages and a luxury annexe to the main farm house, we can accommodate up to 20 people at Hawthorn Farm. Each cottage can be rented individually from 4 nights to 28 days, or all together if you have a group that would like to stay close by but not having to share one large property. Please note that the minimum stay for group bookings (3 cottages or more) is 7 nights and subject to availability.

If you have any questions at all about the suitability of Hawthorn Farm for you, your family or for a larger group, then please give us a call: 01304 290029
