Europe’s first kosher eco hotel to launch in Kent
Sadeh Farm Hotel is set to open to guests next month in Orpington, Kent - the first of its kind in Europe
Europe’s first kosher ‘eco-hotel’ is set to launch in Kent next month.
Set in seven acres of countryside, Sadeh Farm Hotel is a non-for-profit hotel housed in a 17th century manor house.
It will be a social enterprise run by the Sadeh charity, which aims to educate Jewish people about the environment, with all profits going to the charity.
Five family suites at the all-inclusive kosher eco-hotel are set to open from 30 May. It will be under the auspices of KLBD, the kashrut department of the London Beth Din.
“Our new all-inclusive kosher eco-hotel is the first of its kind in Europe and we aim to provide guests with delicious and healthy kosher food while being as environmentally sustainable as possible,” said the hotel’s director, Naomi Verber.
“We know that demand will outstrip supply this summer as families look to book a holiday in the UK and we’re thrilled to be able to offer the community a fun and completely different experience without the need to travel far.”
The hotel will offer a ‘Farm & Forest’ foraging tour, pickling, brewing and honey-making workshops, farm tractor rides, and outdoor cinema evenings among other activities.
Experts on site will guide guests through nature walks and help them learn more about the environment from a Jewish perspective, according to hotel management.
Rooms at the hotel, which can sleep 25 guests, start at £80 per night inclusive of all activities and full use of the facilities.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
