Farmhouse in quiet countryside overlooking pond

Bartley Mill Farmhouse is a traditional Wealden farmhouse which used to be the Miller's house (next door is Bartley Mill - a water mill from the 13th century). It has been recently modernised and set up for family holidays and entertaining with a modern aesthetic. The Farmhouse is situated in quiet countryside on an organic farm, but is close to amenities and five minutes from centre of Tunbridge Wells. The space Please note, depending on sleeping/bed arrangements, there may be extra charges to be paid - please read our details carefully. We assume two people share one bedroom, unless notified in advance. Single occupancy is charged as an extra. Guests have full exclusive access to the 4 bedroom farmhouse (depending on number of guests, bedrooms rented and sleeping arrangements) when renting Bartley Mill Farmhouse which has three double bedrooms, one twin room, one family bathroom, one ensuite bathroom to the main bedroom on the first floor. There's a family sitting room, large kitchen/dining room and a cloakroom on the ground floor. When rented together with the annexe, The Lavendrye, the Farmhouse can sleep up to 10 + 2 small children (in a cot and a separate camp bed). See accommodation layout for the Lavendrye in our other listing. Alternatively, stay in the Farmhouse from minimum 2 people for 2 nights, and have the whole of the Farmhouse facilities plus a large bedroom with its own ensuite shower room to yourselves. The other bedrooms will not be available (but can be rented from a per person rate per night as extra, so you can sleep between 2 - 10+ guests in total if you wish to travel with more than 2 people). Depending on your group numbers, there may be someone staying in the Lavendrye annexe next door, in which case the rear garden will not be for your own use exclusively, but shared with these other guests. However, you will still have all your own private facilities within the main farmhouse. CHECK-IN: As we operate a no-contact check-in we need to take some additional details from you. We'll send a separate booking form to verify your identity for our records. This information also helps us to get the property ready for any special requirements you may have. Please ensure you give us your estimated time of arrival. This will help us to be on "standby" for any unforeseen eventualities. Also, this platform only acts as our Agent in this booking but your Contract is with us. Therefore you must read and agree to our Terms and Conditions before we can accept your booking through our Agent. (A copy of our terms and conditions can also be requested by messaging us on this platform.) SELF-VERIFICATION AND DAMAGES: You have 2 options: either - you can self-verify through our preferred insurance partner Superhog, who is our third-party risk management provider; or - you can supply us with your ID (passport or driver's licence) and pay a Refundable Damages Deposit (RDD) upfront. (We will require your card details for this option) Guest access Parking for up to 4 cars on the driveway and in specific parking areas to the front of the house means arriving and departing is easy. There's no gate at the property at the moment. The front garden is fenced but do still supervise dogs and children please. The rear garden is also fenced but the same message applies as the mill pond contains deep, cold water. There's a local train station called "Frant" about 1.5 minutes drive from the Farmhouse which is on the SE train line from Hastings and St Leonards up to London - Charing Cross, Waterloo East, Cannon Street and London Bridge for all connections across London on the Tube. The train from Frant to London Bridge is normally 50 minutes. A bus runs along the B2169 - the Bayham Abbey road - and takes you either to Lamberhurst village (east) or into Tunbridge Wells. The bus stop is about 10 minutes walk from the Farmhouse (up the hill to the north) and it is worth looking at the time table since the buses are infrequent. A taxi from Tunbridge Wells train station is around £15 one way, and taxis can be pre-booked (see our Welcome Pack info on our website). There are not many Ubers in Tunbridge Wells or around the neighbourhood. Other things to note Free parking for up to 4 cars, plus the double garage can be rented at an additional cost if needed but must be booked well in advance. Mobile phone signal is patchy, depending on your provider. Wifi provided can support mobile wifi use if you have this function downloaded. Working from home: although we offer Wi-Fi and fibre broadband, this is a residential address so facilities for “working from home” are not guaranteed. Our Wi-Fi is supplied by a third-party and we do not always have 100% control over its functioning. If you need guaranteed Wi-Fi access and have lots of Zoom calls and meetings during your stay, you should ensure that you make arrangements for alternative office rental during the day. The Farmhouse is designed to be a holiday accommodation, not an office. COVID-19 UPDATE Any bookings which have to be cancelled as a result of either UK Government restrictions or guest illness due to COVID-19 will be rescheduled for free. If you wish to have a full refund, then please make sure that you have adequate travel insurance and your own travel insurance covers this. This is an alteration to our normal terms and conditions whilst the UK Government have COVID-19 restrictions in place.
