Your Stay at Updown Farmhouse
Updown’s accommodation is made up of four rooms in the farmhouse, three cottages, and three rooms in the converted stables. The Farmhouse features a library with books, games and daily newspapers; an honesty bar for guests to mix their own drinks and a drawing room overlooking the terrace and garden restaurant.
We encourage guests to wander the seven-acre gardens and woodlands, where there are a multitude of secluded spots including our beautiful kitchen garden, children’s playground and outdoor heated swimming pool. There is a simple room service menu available all day until 10pm (8.30pm on Sundays).
Autumn & Winter Retreats for 2026-2027
We winter retreat packages are always exceptionally popular in the cooler months, and we have three options now available for weeknights in October to March:
The Rest
Winter weeknights are made for relaxation. One of our rooms, lunch or dinner in the restaurant, and a cooked breakfast before you head back. Updown sits in 7 acres of Kent countryside, far enough from everything to feel like a genuine escape, even midweek.
— One night in your choice of room
— Lunch or dinner for two guests in the restaurant
— Cooked breakfast for two guests in the morning
From £320 per room.
The Retreat
Two quiet nights in one of our rooms, two meals in the restaurant, and two mornings waking up in peace. No weekend rush, no crowds; just the farmhouse, the grounds, and time to actually switch off.
— Two nights in your choice of room
— Two meals for two in the restaurant (lunch or dinner)
— Cooked breakfast for two each morning
From £645 per room.
The Family Farmhouse
School holidays? Inset day? Make the most of it with two nights, two dinners, cooked breakfasts, a heated pool to swim in and 7 acres to run around in — with the children eating from their own menu for free throughout. Quieter, calmer, and easier to enjoy.
— Two nights in your choice of room
— Two meals for two adults in the restaurant
— Cooked breakfast each morning
— Children eat free from the children’s menu for the duration of the stay
From £645 per room.
On Sundays our restaurant is open until 4pm, so those staying Sunday night will have a three-course menu for lunch instead of dinner.

Further Info:
Our room rates are inclusive of continental breakfast between 8-10am. Out of hours, takeaway breakfasts or room service are available by prior arrangement.
We will always hold a table in the restaurant for our hotel guests, if you note your preferred dining times when booking under ‘Guest comments’ we will do our best to accommodate.
We do a full à la carte menu restaurant service for lunch and dinner Monday – Saturday.
Monday – Friday lunch as well as Monday, Tuesday and Thursday dinner we also have a three-course set menu available for £35.
On Wednesday nights we cook a Steak Night menu alongside our à la carte, priced at £40 per person.
On Sunday evenings we are closed to the public so, for Sunday check-ins, we’ll usually suggest lunch any time between midday and 4pm, if you’d like to experience the Conservatory restaurant. For guests of the house we offer a room service menu on Sunday evenings.
We welcome well-behaved dogs in most of the hotel rooms as well as in the restaurant. There’s plenty of outdoor space for them to roam around in, all we ask is for a one-off payment of £50 to cover additional deep cleaning after their stay. Please note you’ll need to let us know if you’d like to bring your dog when making a reservation.
Children of all ages are welcome with an additional child’s bed option available to select in any of our Superking rooms or Fig Tree Cottage. An extra bed charge of £50 per night applies. Children of any age are welcome to dine with us here at Updown, and we have an under 12s menu available in the restaurant. While it does vary throughout the week, pasta with tomato sauce and cheese omelettes are a mainstay for those who aren’t quite ready to taste our usual hyper-seasonal Italian leaning a la carte menu.
Cots are available free of charge in most of our rooms, just let us know when booking so we can have everything ready for you on arrival.
