RUSTIC RAILWAY CARRIAGE IN THE GARDEN OF ENGLAND

The latest addition to the Hoppers’ Hideaways aims to reflect the rich history of hop growing in the area and the summer migration of thousands of people by train for their annual hop picking ‘holiday’. It has been loosely designed to resemble a railway carriage, however it is more luxurious than the version that the hop pickers would have travelled in!

Number of bedrooms: 1

Number of bathrooms: 1

Max capacity: 4 guests - best suited to 2 adults and 2 children (using the dining table bed)

Babies welcome - please bring your own travel cot

WE ACCOMMODATE ALL WELL-BEHAVED PETS!

We understand that pets are more than just animals – they're beloved members of the family. That’s why at The Hoppers’ Hideaways, all well-behaved pets are welcome.

We charge a one-off fee of £10 per pet which can be settled on departure. For dogs, we provide them with a bed, water bowl, poo bag, treat and a towel for your four-legged friend’s muddy paws. For other pets, please bring the supplies they need.

If you would like to go out for the day without your four legged companion, we may be able to provide doggy day care for a small additional fee. Please get in contact to discuss which option would best suit your pet (pop in visits/walks or accommodation with our family pets in the farmhouse).

Walks available from our doorstep

Whether you are looking for a short stroll followed by a glass of wine at Balfour vineyard, or are looking to work up an appetite for a pub lunch at The Goudhurst Inn or The Milk House, there are options for everyone.

Our favourite places for walking include Sissinghurst Castle on a summer’s evening followed by a cream tea, and Rye Harbour Nature Reserve with a Knoops hot chocolate in hand to keep us warm during a windy beach walk.

Suggested walks can be found in the guidebook but we are happy to recommend others or plan bespoke routes to suit your requirements.

Places to eat

Whether you are looking for a cosy country pub with a roaring fire, a Michellin starred restaurant, a place for quick bite to eat or a quaint café for a cup of tea and a slice of cake, you will find plenty of options available nearby when you stay at The Hoppers’ Hideaways.
