FAQS
Below are some of our most frequently asked questions. If there's anything we've missed, please feel free to get in touch with us.
What time is check-in and check-out?
Standard check-in is between 4:00pm and 8:00pm. Late check-ins after 8:00pm are possible for a £25 fee. Check-out is by 11:00am.
Where availability allows, we’ll always let you know if early check-in or late check-out can be offered.
​
What's the latest we can check-in?
As we live on site, late check-ins are no problem. Please share your ETA within a week of your arrival date and call us when you’re about 30 minutes away from arriving. Daylight arrival is recommended, but not essential, as parking is right behind the pods.
​
Do you provide bedding and towels?
Yes — bedding and towels are provided for the number of guests on your booking. If more than two guests are staying, this includes bedding for the sofa-bed.
For two-person bookings, we’ll assume the double bed will be shared unless you let us know otherwise. If you’d like additional bedding for the sofa-bed, a £25 per person, per stay fee applies.
​
You can find a full list of everything included in your pod on our 'Accommodation' page.
​
Do the pods have heating?
Yes — each pod features thermostatically controlled underfloor heating and is fully insulated throughout. Even in the cooler autumn and winter months, the pods remain beautifully warm and comfortable.​
​
Can we drink the water?
Yes — all tap water in the pods is completely safe to drink.
​​
Can we bring our dog(s)?
Yes — we are a dog-friendly site and warmly welcome well-behaved dogs of all shapes and sizes. Dogs are charged at £20 per dog, per stay. For comfort, we recommend no more than one large dog or two small/medium dogs per pod. Dogs must not be left unattended in the pods and should be kept on a lead around the pods and farmyard areas. On arrival, we’ll happily show you where your dog can enjoy some off-lead time.
​
Can we get a taxi to and from the farm?
Yes — the farm is easy to reach by taxi. If you’re travelling by train, we recommend arriving at Tonbridge station and taking a taxi from the rank just outside the main entrance. The journey to the farm takes around 5–10 minutes and typically costs approximately £10. Once you’ve arrived, you’ll find a list of trusted local taxi companies in your pod for use during your stay.
​
Can we play music?
You’re welcome to enjoy music during your stay, as long as it’s played through a small portable speaker. We observe a quiet period from 9:00pm to 9:00am, when no music is permitted. We ask all guests to remain respectful of others on site, and to reduce or turn off music if requested at any time.
​
Is there a BBQ?
Absolutely. Each pod is equipped with its own chiminea, perfect for relaxed outdoor cooking. We supply BBQ utensils, a cast iron skillet and a BBQ glove, along with a complimentary bucket of kindling, firelighter and matches. Logs and instant-light charcoal are available to buy on site (£5 per bucket of logs & £5 per bag of charcoal), or you’re welcome to bring your own.
​
Is there a pub nearby?
At the top of Vauxhall Lane, you’ll find the Hand and Sceptre, a charming pub and restaurant. It’s about a 15–20 minute walk from the farm. Please note the walk is uphill, which may make it less suitable for pushchairs, young children, or guests with limited mobility. The pub offers a free car park if you prefer to drive.
​
There are also many highly recommended country-style pubs within a short drive. A full list of our favourite local places to eat can be found in the Welcome Booklet in your pod. If you’d like suggestions in advance of your stay, we’re always happy to share our top picks!
​
Do you offer one night stays?
Our standard minimum booking is two nights. Single-night stays may be offered at our discretion, usually out of season (November–March) or if a single night becomes available between other bookings. When we have single nights available, we typically share them on our social media channels, so keep an eye out if you’re hoping for a shorter stay!
​
Do you have animals/can my children feed the animals?
We don’t have farm animals on-site. While there are a few horses and birds of prey here, these are privately owned and cannot be fed by guests. But don’t worry — there are plenty of local farms nearby where children can safely meet and feed animals. We’re happy to share our favourite spots when you get in touch, so your little ones can have a hands-on animal experience during your stay!
​
Can we have a riding lesson on your farm during our stay?
Honnington Farm was previously a large equestrian centre, and it may still appear on Google Maps and local signage. However, the centre closed some years ago and we no longer offer riding lessons. A few retired, privately owned horses remain on-site and are not accessible to guests. There are however several riding schools nearby, and we’re happy to share recommendations on request, so that you can still enjoy a riding experience during your stay!​
​
Can we use the lake for fishing?
The lake that appears on Google Maps as being on-site is not actually part of our property. It is privately owned by our neighbours, so unfortunately guests are not able to use it for fishing or any other activities. For fishing enthusiasts, we recommend Barden Lake and Haysden Lake in Tonbridge, both around a 10-minute drive from the farm.
