Fallow Fields Lathe Barn, which is run by the people behind the very popular Fallow Fields campsite nearby, is located in Burmarsh, about half a mile outside the village centre where there is a local pub for meals, snacks and drinks. There is also a bus stop in the village, with regular services running to both Ashford and Folkestone.
Bring your own tent, trailer tent or glamp in one of our part-furnished or fully furnished bell tents. (unfortunately we cannot accommodate campervans or caravans at Lathe Barn). You can also stay together with your loved ones, as we allow bookings of up to five tent pitches or bell tents together. There is a 2-night minimum for all bookings on the weekend and a 3-night minimum for bank holidays.
Fallow Fields Lathe Barn is definitely a kid-pleaser, and not just because of its proximity to the beach - there's a range of on-site activities available for both young ones and grownups here, including family film evenings, bushcraft, welly wanging and yoga. Dogs are also welcome to come and stay, and campfires are allowed too.
Please note that this is a family-focused place, not somewhere for late-night parties. To ensure an enjoyable stay for everyone, the Fallow Fields Lathe Barn team asks that quiet hours be respected between 10.30pm and 7.30am.

Plumes of steam are often visible from Fallow Fields Lathe Barn, as trains from the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway trundle their way along just a short distance away. If you fancy riding the rails, the nearest station is in Dymchurch (five minutes' drive), where there is also a sandy beach and visitor centre with plenty to see and do.
Alternatively, you could head out on a safari at Port Lympne Reserve? (10 minutes), a popular breeding sanctuary that's home to rare and endangered animals such as tigers, rhinos, zebras, gorillas and bears. If extinct animals are more your (or your kids') jam, there's also a dinosaur forest where you can stomp through the trees in search of T-Rex and pterodactyls.
Heading slightly further afield, you could explore the seaside towns of Folkestone (25 minutes), a treasure trove of vintage clothes, fab furniture finds and tasty street food. Alternatively, there's the old fishing village of Dungeness (25 minutes) with its vast shingle beach and the far-off shadow of its power station. Wherever you end up exploring, don't forget the pretty town of Hythe (10 minutes) with its well-preserved medieval and Georgian buildings.
