What a wonderful spot to explore the Kent coast. The house is wonderful, very comfortable and refurnished to a high standard. We enjoyed dining outdoors and watching the calves at play

Lovely house, friendly owner, would love to go again.

I have stayed on this farm, and I can testify that it is very comfortable and extremely well equipped. It is also a real haven of peace and tranquility, with wonderful rural views.
I have enjoyed watching birds and have been impressed by the variety that there are to see.
Higham Farmhouse is set in a wonderful area, with historic sites ranging from the Roman sites at Dover and Richborough to marvellous villages like Fordwich and Sandwich, very near by.
Higham Farmhouse is the place for a very happy holiday at any time of the year, but it is especially good in the summer, when meals outside on the patio are a special treat.
