Finding the perfect hideaway that encompasses peace and tranquillity and being close to so much to see and do is rarely achieved, but here at The Dairy you will find this and more. With far reaching views over the surrounding countryside greeting you from the moment you arrive, you will instantly fall in love with this peaceful countryside spot. A popular local pub is 15 minutes walk away.
The French themed hotel interior blends with the sumptuous surroundings fitting for an English home with solid oak floors, vaulted beamed ceilings - all adding some glamour to your stay.
The gardens and setting are quite the place to enjoy al fresco dining, but in winter enjoy the warming glow from the wood burner whilst snuggling up on the plush soft furnishings.
The detailed little luxuries are endless including beautifully appointed rooms, hypoallergenic bedding, white cotton linen and the bathrooms are all finished to a high standard including elegant marble tiling, oversized showers - one of which features a luxurious roll top bath - ideal for a Cadburys flake moment….!

In the Area


The Dairy is located in the rural spot of Ulcombe, near Maidstone, yet extremely accessible via major roads and close to two large train stations that connect to London (Headcorn and Maidstone).
Only a short 15 minute walk away you will find a lovely Kentish pub, and should you wish to explore Headcorn and Lenham these are both within a 10 minute drive offering a choice of pubs, restaurants, cafes and shops. Or for days out exploring Kent attractions such as the beautiful Leeds Castle which offers great fun for all the family and big events across the year, and is 10 minutes away. The Big Cat Sanctuary is also nearby where you can see a wide variety of large endangered cats. The beaches along the South East Coast are approximately 20 miles away where you can visit the lovely seaside towns of Hythe, Greatstone and Camber Sands.

Came to The Dairy for a family's 40th birthday celebration. We were all pleasantly surprised by the size of the cottage. Beautifully styled throughout. Would thoroughly recommend a meal at The Pepper Pot - varied menu, huge portions & welcoming staff. A lovely stay, would definitely stay again. Thank you The Dairy!
