Rye is the nearest train station - six miles away. It's not on a direct line from London. Trains from London run into Ashford International and then there is a connecting train to Rye.
Yes, guests park in our barnyard area and we transport you and your luggage to your accommodation. We collect you and return you to your car when you check-out. Farm vehicles are the only vehicles allowed on site.
We are off-grid which means there is no electricity in any of our accommodation. There are power points in our honesty shop which guests may use to charge their phones but you leave your phone at your own risk.
No I'm afraid not. We have a strict no dogs/ pets policy. While we're dog lovers, we are also a working farm with livestock, and experience has taught us that it's just not worth the risk no matter how well behaved the dog.
We welcome everyone at Swallowtail Hill and will always do our very best to accommodate all but we do need to point out that our landscape isn’t the easiest for those with special access needs.
There are no concrete/tarmac paths, there are steps up to all of our accommodation spaces and steps up to our compost loos.
Three of our cabins are at the foot of a very steep hill and the fourth is in a wood. Our conservation work here requires that the environment is left as natural as possible, this requires the loos/accommodation spaces to be mobile which necessarily means they are raised from the ground and on wheels / chassis / skids - so access could be difficult for those with additional mobility needs.
The cottages-on-wheels can only accommodate a maximum of two adults and two children. The two cabins (Wood & Penfold) have floor space for a fifth person or infant to be accommodated - either with an inflatable mattress on the floor, or a travel cot.
Please ask before you book.
No - all our bedding is hypoallergenic.
Yes, all of our accommodation has both smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Each is also equipped with a fire extinguisher and a fire blanket.
No, not all of them. The ponds which are closest to accommodation spaces are fenced, but others you may discover and enjoy as you walk around the farm are left open and the landscape unspoiled. We provide a map of the farm so you can see where the ponds are. Please ensure your children are supervised.
Please take a look at our farm map. You'll see that the two cabins are in a shared paddock centrally located on our farm, each of the cottages-on-wheels sits alone and about five minutes' walk from the cabins, and about eight minutes' walk from the barnyard where you leave your car.
We look forward to welcoming you to Swallowtail Hill. If you'd like to have a chat about your stay then do get in touch, or you can find out more, or make a booking using the links below.
