Beach & village a stone throw away! Or a 2min walk to Wallingford Homestead!

Do you need a break from the hustle and bustle of our busy lives? Want to get away and enjoy the country? Oh the peace and quiet!

Welcome to long Island's Rest Area, a place of comfort and peace.
Come and stay in our farm cottage, enjoy the smaller things in life good for the soul. Spend your days lazying about the section or pop down to our local beach, which is 15min drive. 10mins away is our local village, where there is a pub, diary and coffee cart - what more could you want!

Our aim is to keep holidays AFFORDABLE, to make this happen we have a cheaper nightly rate, but please note: THIS RATE DOES NOT INLCUDE LINEN or CLEANING fees! :) we can supply linen at an extra charge. :)

WE ARE HAPPY TO DO 1 NIGHT STAYS, please ask upon booking, 1 night saty do incurr a surcharge fee of 50% :)


The Cottage is an old girl who has lots of stories to tell, we want you to add yours to it. As neat and tidy as it is, please don't loose sight that it is an old quirky farm home, rough around the edges, but full of character.

Sit back and relax with a good book and have some well deserved time out, or, for the more adventurous types go exploring, build huts and have a great time.

We cater for everyone here at Long Island, no problem is ever too big or too small.

We are a sheep, beef and cropping farm, there is always something happening here in the farm, why not come and have a look!

Our farm has a fabulous track, easy to walk or mountain bike along, walk along the river/stream that flows around the property and see what fish and animals you can see.


We look forward to meeting you, book today your family won't regret it.

Lovely old property and nice a tidy but we were unable to find the pool which it had listed. We just generally felt the property was over priced.

Great place to get away
We really enjoyed the stay in this area. Its a great spot being close to the beach and close to a town. We did a day trip to Hastings to take kids to Splash planet. A really cosy and homely farm stay with an amazing bird call at 5am every morning that's sounded so beautiful. We all woke up to this amazing bird call each day. Lovely hosts, made us feel welcomed and looked after. Highly recommend staying here. Would come back again one day.

Beautiful location, lovely cottage
We stayed here one night and would have happily stayed longer. The cottage is really cosy, clean and well supplied. The location is absolutely stunning and so peaceful. We enjoyed our walk around the wetlands. Communication with Jess was great. Thanks again Jess.
