How you gonna keep 'em down on the farm?

Nice digs, good prices, fresh homemade breakfasts and responsible, green tourism is one way. We like the farmstay holidays at ResponsibleTravel.com. Think of them as country B&Bs or vacation rentals with a difference. That being, the property is on a working farm where he eggs, milk and fresh baked goods and vegetables are so local they only have to travel a few yards to get to you. And you might even get a chance to pitch in.

Right now, we're liking the look of their Kent Downs farmstay accommodations in Alkham near Dover. The farmhouse is set in beautiful Kentish countryside and the three rooms are pretty and well equipped. For between £35 to £40 per person night (or £90 for a family sized room)the price is very competitive. Visit the website to find out more.

From now to March 2009, stay for three nights dinner bed and breakfast for the price of two The cost is £95 per person, per night. To book, visit the hotel's website.

The Right Price for a Kentish Country Break

Thinking about a walking or cycling vacation in the Kent countryside? We like the look of Southernwood House, a 4-star, walker and cyclist friendly B&B in the medieval village of Hever. It's close to Hever Castle - childhood home of Anne Boleyn, Penshurst Place, Chiddingston and Chartwell plus a host of other National Trust properties in the area (watch for Ightham Moat House, coming soon!). B&B for 2 with ensuite bathroom, tea and coffee making facilities, costs £60-70 per room per night. It was a Georgian rectory and looks very atmospheric (wonder if there's a ghost). To book, telephone the owner on +44 (0)1342 850880, or email info@southernwoodhouse.org.uk.
