My parents worked on this farm and I lived with them in the late 40's, 50's and 60's when hops were grown. I was amazed how the Hopper Huts have been converted to luxury holiday properties compared to how they were in my days. Looking forward to booking another stay there.

Great property in a good area. The hopper had everything we needed and was close to several National Trust properties, Hastings, and Tunbridge Wells. We even got the train to London from Seven oaks. Weather was good which made the week even better. Highly recommended.
