☕️ Fancy a coffee?

🍓 Run out of jam?

🍦 In need of an ice cream?

We are so lucky that our local campsite ‘The Millpond’ has a wonderful coffee shop (with shop and bar!) just a 10 minute walk from The Hop Kilns!

Open everyday 9am - 5pm
Bar serving 11am - 5pm

Pop into the shop for any last minute essentials, or stroll down for tea and cake, or a nice cold cider with friends in the air conditioned coffee shop or sat out on the picnic benches in the sunshine! 🍻🫖🍰

What more could we ask for right on our doorstep?! ☺️

Teamwork makes the dream work! 💞

I’ve been taking full advantage of having my little helper off school for a few more days and roped her into helping with this week’s changeover…

Did you see the wishlist on her t-shirt? It turns out that is a great motivator to come and help me… 🐴💸

Can you guess which part of stripping the beds is her favourite? 😂

🐾 National Pet Day 🐾

Life here wouldn’t be the same without our animals ❤️

From our loyal dogs who think they run the place, to the cats who definitely know they do…

They’re not just part of the backdrop — they’re part of what makes The Hop Kilns feel like home.

There’s something special about waking up to our beautiful Hereford cattle in the fields, evenings spent in the hot tub listening to the owls, and watching the chickens and ducks pottering around the farm.

To us, they’re more than animals - they’re family. And we love sharing them with you during your stay.

Happy National Pet Day from all of us (two-legged and four!) 🤍

Not all guests are created equal… and honestly, neither are hosts 🤍

We don’t expect perfection from our guests — life happens, plans change, muddy paw prints appear, wine gets spilled. It’s all part of the story.

And the same goes for us. We’re not a big chain or a faceless brand. We’re real people behind the scenes, doing our best, learning as we go, and genuinely caring about every stay.

What we can promise is this: we will always try our absolute best to give you a 5⭐ experience — from the moment you book to the moment you leave.

Because for us, it’s not about perfection… it’s about effort, care, and making you feel welcome every single time ✨

✨ NEW FOR SPRING 2026 ✨

We’re excited to introduce our VIP Cow Concierge Service 🐄

Arriving late? Do not worry - our resident pedigree Hereford cattle will now personally meet and greet you, es**rt you to The Hop Kilns, and carry light luggage (within reason… they do only have hooves).

Upgrade to Premium Herd Status for priority mooing and enhanced guidance in low light conditions.

Please note: tipping in apples is encouraged but not expected. These can be collected from our cider apple orchards on the way down the drive if needed. 🍎

Instagram got rid of the audio on this post, so I thought I’d take the opportunity to turn it into a reel… hopefully I’ll have better luck with this version…! 🍀🤞

Take 2…

Never fear… Tony’s here…

Our beautiful tree lined drive down to The Hop Kilns is wonderful until the strong winds blow down a tree right across it and you need to get in/out!

So it was a quick call to Tony this morning who popped up with the chainsaw and cleared our path so that Jinnie could get to school on time.

One of the benefits of having a holiday let on a farm is that we can cope with most problems - be it a tow in / out if you were ever to get stuck in flooding / snow / mud, unblocking a road from a fallen tree or pumping up a flat tyre - there isn’t much that Tony can’t fix to ensure we can either get you here or send you on your way.👨‍🔧🚘

Let me know in the comments what problems you’ve encountered getting in / out of a holiday let and I’ll see if I think we could deal with it…
