  • A working rare-breed farm in the Kent countryside
  • Highland and Sussex cattle, Hebridean, Ronaldsay and Boreray sheep
  • Buy fresh farm produce for the barbecue
An hour from London but deep in countryside on the southerly slopes of the Greensand Ridge overlooking the Weald of Kent, Roundoak Farm has warm welcomes, its own produce for sale, and lots of farming activity to see throughout the year: arrange a trip here forthwith. Run by Ruth and Norman, Roundoak is mostly grassland with five acres of natural oak woodland at Sutton Valence and a further 50 acres a mile or so away in Ulcombe, and is a working farm breeding Hebridean sheep and Highland cows. Well-behaved dogs are welcome if kept on leads. Guests are welcome to wander the farmyard by arrangement: depending on the time of year, you could see lambs, pigs, piglets, cows and calves as well as the chickens, chicks, turkeys and ducks that wander the farm freely. Home produce is always available and includes eggs as well as meat including pork sausages, bacon, lamb and beef; bed throws, wool and branded Roundoak clothing are also available to buy. The site is clean and level with mowed grass and generously-sized pitches, all facing south, with access to toilets and showers on site (free of charge). There's also a five-acre oak woodland with wooded walk open to guests, which has a large barbecue area available by arrangement. The site has secure coded access gates and security cameras. Please note that this is an adults-only peaceful retreat site, where music and ball games are not allowed. This may not suit everyone, so please consider this before booking. Guests are reminded that at certain times of the year private bookings and events take place here – you will be notified on arrival of any functions taking place.

Liked Nice people
A lot of space
Beautiful surroundings
Great showers although the cabins were tiny

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Are you sure
We don’t have any cabins
We are a touring caravan and camping site
Reviews like this are very destructive
I think you mean the shower cubicles!!!!!
I hate comments like this and the unfair related mark on my site
You cannot believe how upset I am with your review
Maybe we need to check people’s waist bands before allocating showers
Don’t come back!

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Everything ⭐️ from the friendly welcome from Norman (the owner) with great info and knowledge, to being shown the perfect spot to camp, the views are so beautiful and peaceful the sunset was lovely as we cooked our dinner. It’s Very clean and everything very well kept. The rare breed animals and the wooded walk are amazing and give you the best feeling 💗 This was just what we wanted, we felt very well rested from just one nights stay and could have happily stayed longer we will definitely come again. Ruth, (Norman’s wife) was great to chat with and it was really interesting to see how much they have done in the 20 years 😊

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Wow! many thanks. It really makes or hard work worthwhile.
See you again soon.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Staying on this working farm was such a joy! The people were incredibly kind, welcoming, and friendly from the moment we arrived.

They went out of their way to help and made us feel right at home!(Especially inviting us all to watch England vs Norway in their barn!)

The facilities were outstanding—everything was spotlessly clean, convenient, and very well maintained. We stayed on an electric grass pitch which was superb and close to the many farm animals. Absolutely wonderful!

It was clear that a lot of care goes into making guests feel comfortable.

We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a warm, welcoming place to visit.

We will definitely return soon!

From the manager: Wonderful, it makes our work worth while,
many thanks,
Norman

Route directions

It is advisable not to rely on satnavs. Take junction 8 off the M20 Motorway and follow the signs to Leeds Castle. Pass the castle's main entrance and continue through the village of Leeds and through the village of Langley. At the cross roads by the Plough PH and Youngs car sales, turn left towards Sutton Valence and Headcorn. Continue through Sutton Valence down the steep hill. At the bottom of the hill just before the petrol station and car sales, turn left into Heniker Lane. Continue down this winding lane to the T junction. Turn right passing a row of cottages. After a short distance there are a large set of brown gates, this is Roundoak farm. There is a security pad to the left of the gates. If you do not have the code call the farm using the contact details provided in your confirmation email.

Local attractions

Stick close to Kent or wander as far as France from Roundoak Farm: the likes of Leeds, Sissinghurst and Hever castles, Whitstable, Tunbridge Wells and Canterbury are all easy to get to, or you could motor along to Dover and get the ferry for a day trip to France. The local station is Headcorn, two miles away; from there, you can be at Charing Cross in central London in about an hour. Kentish vineyards are at Tenterden, Biddenden and Hush Heath – bring a bottle back to have with the barbie later – and another good and green local option is Bedgebury National Pinetum, a recreational and conservational arboretum with tree-lined paths for walking and cycling. The Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway runs for almost 14 miles from Hythe to Dungeness and the Kent & East Sussex Railway can be hailed at Tenterden for the 10-and-a-half-mile journey to Bodiam Castle. For old houses, have a day at Penshurst Place & Gardens, the fortified manor house with adventure playground, summer maze and regular events, and at Ightham Mote, the medieval manor house near Sevenoaks that's now managed by the National Trust. The Chatham Historic Dockyard is also well worth a look, and if you're around the coast you should also see Rye and Hastings: cliff railways at the latter very much a must.
