The Bull Pen is a wonderful conversion of an old farm building. Three generations have farmed here for over 70 years and, as the name suggests once upon a time a corner of this property was used to house the farm bull! Now you can enjoy modern-day living with all the home comforts, in a beautiful part of Kent just below the Pilgrims Way in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The open-plan living space opens up onto a terrace and garden with huge bi-folding doors which really bring the outdoors in. After a busy day sightseeing you can enjoy the gardens to relax and chill, whilst the children play. Or snuggle up on the cosy sofas and enjoy a hot chocolate on a wintry day.

In the Area


Westwell is a pretty village 4 miles north of Ashford. It sits just below the Pilgrim's Way in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The location is stunning, with vineyards and beautiful Kentish countryside surrounding you, yet within easy reach of road and rail connections. There is an abundance of things to see and do with countryside walks on your doorstep (including the Pilgrims Way), Leeds Castle, Godinton House, Sissinghurst Castle and the South of England Rare Breeds Centre all within easy reach. Whilst staying, if you fancy a trip to the stunning Kent coast then Hythe, Whitstable and Camber (East Sussex) are approximately a 30-minute drive away. If you fancy a day trip to London, the fast train from Ashford every half an hour connects you to London St Pancras and takes 38 minutes. It is the perfect location to explore all that Kent has to offer. For more recommendations check out our travel guide on Ashford.

Idyllic stay in a high quality property 5/5

We loved our stay at The Bull Pen - beautifully appointed accommodation in a tranquil setting but convenient enough to explore the local area. We booked the property as we had a family celebration to attend nearby but would love to return for longer to be able to explore the area more fully. Highly recommended!

The Bull Pen - An absolute wonderful find in the heart of the Kent countryside! 5/5

We had a fantastic stay at The Bull Pen. It's a clean, modern and spacious property situated within wonderful surroundings. As we stayed during Christmas, the underfloor heating was most welcome and the beds were very comfortable. The complimentary Christmas Panettone was a lovely touch! There is also an adjoining property with the same layout, which have interconnecting gardens. We will defintley book again and whole experience with Bloom Stays was great. Thank you.

Beautiful space in tranquil location 5/5

The Bull Pen has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The space is absolutely beautiful, tastefully done and to a very high standard. The garden is spacious and not overlooked and there are some lovely walks in the area. The location is perfect for exploring Kent by car. Jane and Trevor were very accommodating hosts. I definitely hope to return one day.

It was an honour to be your first guests! We really enjoyed your property and the beautiful surroundings. The children also loved the garden and the water hose. We travel a lot but rarely see such a complete house. We will definitely come back again!
