  • Sleeps: 4-6 per tent
  • Bedrooms: Open plan
  • Bathrooms: Communal
  • Minimum stay: 2 nights

You’ll find it extremely hard to believe that Longberry Farm is less than an hour away from London.

As soon as you arrive, you’ll marvel at the way this friendly Kent farm transports you straight back to nature. With endless views of fresh, rolling countryside, whispering trees, and vast starry skies that your mind could get lost in forever, this is the ideal place to relax and unwind.

As if that wasn’t enough, you’ll soon discover that absolutely everything has been thought about for the perfect stay. Sleeping 2-25 lucky guests, there are creature comforts galore, from carpeted tents and luxury beds with sprung mattresses, to generous facilities, and a bubbling hot tub spa!

Best of all, you’ll have the entire three-acre site completely to yourselves… and you can even bring your four-legged friends along for a well-deserved break.

Simply claim your favourite from a cosy collection of furnished, family-sized tents, or a converted stable that’s ideal for a couple. Each tent is individually named and styled, with plenty of space to stretch out.

Sleeping up to five guests, Mayflower is decked out in ‘shabby chic’ style, tucked away in its own private corner. Cedar’s stag and tartan décor is reminiscent of a Scottish country estate, also sleeping up to five guests on one downy double bed, and three single camp beds.  Both sleeping up to six guests, beautiful Blossom is decorated with florals in soft greys and lilacs, and lastly (but not leastly!) Buttercup is cheerily kitted out in warm shades of yellow.

Meanwhile, the Old Stable is a fairytale hideaway, richly dressed in furs and complete with a sumptuous kingsize bed – there’s also a chair bed for one more guest if needed.

What the guests of Longberry Farm say

“What an amazing place! We stayed as a family of 4 with our friends, also a family of 4 and took the 2 tents close to each other. I didn’t want to leave – it was so relaxing. The tent has everything you would need so it takes the stress of camping away knowing you only need to bring food, drink & clothes! It’s a family run business and the owners are very friendly and helpful. It’s all the little touches that make a difference, like free ice lollies for the kids in the communal freezer! The countryside is stunning and handy having a local pub just a mile away. We waked there via the country lanes and fields and kids were on their bikes. The facilities are perfect too (2 showers and 2 toilets). Very modern, spotless with strong, powerful showers. I could have stayed for weeks! We will definitely be back next year. Thank you for making our weekend so enjoyable!”

“We just came back from staying at Cedar Bell. Our first time glamping ever. I must admit I wasn’t wrong in choosing Longberry Farm to have our first taste of camping. It was brilliant! Love the perfect scenery! I love everything about it. Very clean. What you see on their website is what you really get and more. Since it’s called glamping all you need to bring is your clothes and food. Everything’s been provided by the site. They even have plenty of board games and some toys onsite for the kids to play with. Our kids love it. Not even once did they play with their own gadgets. They’ve enjoyed the fire pit, most especially cooking marshmallows. The owners were very welcoming and friendly. Will definitely stay here again as the kids wouldn’t want to leave. Highly recommended.”

“Great Stay, great place, lovely owners, a relaxing weekend. Myself and my partner had never done Glamping before, but we will stay again, everything you want for a different type of camping. Very Clean, Everything you need. Nothing is any problem for the owners.”
