The Finer Details

Upon entering through a wide wooden door, your first sight will be of the exquisite wrought iron, spiral staircase that links the lounge with the upstairs bedroom. You will no doubt spot the original artwork on the walls, created by the talented owner, who is also an artist - do let us know if you would like to purchase any of her pieces!

You'll then notice the open plan living area, with the plush teal sofa that you can sink into, the quirky lounge furniture that the owner has lovingly restored. The kitchen that runs alongside has everything you'll need for a home cooked meal, along with typical mod cons, like a microwave and coffee machine.

Through another rustic wooden door is the quirky, spacious bathroom, with its large shower area, porcelain units and vintage mirror.

Upstairs you'll find the large, interesting bedroom, with king sized bed, comfy furnishings and a beautiful view of the grounds up one end, with vanity area, exposed hanging space and a full-length mirror to the other.

The split door at the end opens to reveal an additional exit to the side of the property, down the outside steps.

The name Manor Pen relates to the enclosed area visible from the bedroom door, where traditionally escaped livestock would be caught and held until the owner was able to retrieve it.

Guests have full access to the Manor Pen and its enclosed patio area. A single parking space is allocated to Manor Pen guests and is directly outside the property. The entrance to the farm and the parking area is shared by the owners and other guests on site. Please do not venture past the parking area, for your own safety, as it is a working farm.

A stunning location

Lenham

Lenham is a market village situated on the southern edge of the North Downs, in Kent, just 9 miles east of Maidstone. The picturesque square in the centre of the village has two public houses, a couple of restaurants, and a lovely tea-room.

Local attractions include Leeds Castle ('the loveliest castle in the world'), Chilston Park Hotel, a very popular wedding venue, The Lenham Chalk Cross, the nearby village of Pluckley (Darling Buds Country!) and the most haunted village in Kent! there are also plenty of vineyards to visit and of course sample!

Wine connoisseurs will love The Vinorium, which has become the UK's Leading Australian wine specialist. There are a number of specialist shops to browse in the village and you may need to check in advance if there is an exhibition on at the time of your stay, but The Process Gallery is one for the list if there is!

We are also partnered with a local wine tours company who can pick you up from The Manor Pen for free - please ask for more details.

The Farm is on the main A20 that connects the town of Ashford and the County Town of Maidstone. It is just over a mile outside the main village. Lenham has its own railway station, which is walkable but it will take around 40 minutes. There's a bus stop conveniently right outside the farm and its a regular bus route.
