About this property

The Stable Cottage is situated in an Idyllic Rural Location near Woodchurch.

Situated in quiet countryside close to the attractive village of Woodchurch, surrounded by over 2 acres of garden and paddocks, this attractive, hayloft/stable  conversion enjoys beautiful views across open countryside. It has character and charm with oak beams and old stripped pine.The original gantry adds to its charm, although now only used as a fire escape. The cottage is ideally located for visiting numerous National Trust Properties and Gardens or for a trip to Tenterden with its steam railway. Bodium, Dover and Leeds castles and the ancient town of Rye, as well as the cathedral city of Canterbury are easily visited from this location. Numerous tracks and footpaths offer visitors the opportunity to explore the area on foot or by bicycle. The Woodchurch Rare Breeds Centre is situated on the outskirts of Woodchurch. 'Shop till you drop' at the designer factory outlet at Ashford.
On the ground floor there is well equipped kitchen/diner and a large comfortable lounge. From the kitchen/diner a staircase leads to the first floor where the large double bedroom and the second small bedroom (see photos for second bedroom options) have outstanding views across open countryside. The two small single beds in the second bedroom are designed to fit together to make a king-size bed. There is plenty of hot water to allow for a long soak in the bath or a refreshing shower following a hard day's sightseeing. There is ample parking . The Stable Cottage can
be booked direct with the Owner. This means prices can be kept low and represent excellent value.

Great Location and Hosts!
Carol was a lovely host and made us feel very welcome upon arrival. We got to pat one of her adorable dogs and see cute sheep out the window every day. Lovely place to stay if you like quiet and a rural location! Some of the roads close to the cottage are one way just to bare in mind and we had deer crossing where the woods are one night (which we were very excited to see!), so please drive carefully. Cottage was nicely decorated and comfortable, and with a smart TV which was an added bonus! Will definitely recommend to family and friends :) Thank you so much for a lovely stay! :)

If you like older buildings with charm this is a nice option. The rooms are small, but there is everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location is placed in beautyful landscape on an quiet light traffic street. The landlady is very kind. Even though we are Germans we can understand her english very well. Childrens are realy welcome. We had a great time!

Charming cottage
Charming cottage in the relaxing Kent countryside, equipped with everything you need. Really warm host and our daughter loved the animals, and in particular the dogs Sophie and Katie :) Well located close to Rye and the beaches of Camber Sands or St Mary's Bay, and possibility of being in London very quickly by train (15 min by car then 35 min from Ashford station). One week was too short to visit everything!

Mitten im englischen Gartenparadies
Angefangen von der herzlichen Begrüßung durch die Gastgeber bis zur warmherzigen Verabschiedung haben wir in dem wunderbaren englischen Cottage eine tolle Urlaubswoche genossen. Es liegt ganz ruhig in einer englischen Bilderbuchlandschaft. Von der Unterkunft aus sind viele interessante Ausflugsziele in kurzer Zeit mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Auch der nächste Bahnhof ist nur wenige Autominuten entfernt. Wir kommen gern wieder.

Wonderful nice cottage
We had a wonderful time in the nice cottage. We felt really welcome. Carol and Robin are great hosts and we enjoyed staying there. The cottage is cosy and we had everything we needed. It's a good starting point to lots of old castles, beaches, gardens and also to London. The dogs, sheeps and chickens are so nice and where always a pleasure for the children when we came back after a long sightseeing day. They loved to go with Carol and the dogs and felt familiar. Carol offered lots of help and support in many ways. We just can say thank you and hope to come back!

Heel gezellige cottage in een prachtige, rustige en landelijke omgeving.
De cottage ligt heel landelijk, waarbij je in de ochtend gewekt wordt door de vogels. De schapen staan op het stukje land naast de cottage, waarop ook het theehuisje staat. Hierin kan je op een loungebed heerlijk genieten van de rust en natuur. De cottage is ook heel gezellig wanneer het wat slecht weer zou zijn, een electrisch haardje in de kamer zorgt hiervoor. Verder is alles dat je nodig hebt aanwezig in de cottage. Carol, de eigenaresse, is een lieve, behulzame en geïnteresseerde dame. De omgeving is typisch engels met gezellige stadjes, kastelen, kerkjes enz. Wij bevelen het verblijf ten zeerste aan en hopen daarmee dat anderen net zo genieten als wij hebben gedaan!

you cant get more rural than this
This is a historical property converted stables, Historical properties come with creaking floors, low doorways but they more than make up for it in charm and character. it is in the perfect location to experience the Kent countryside, sheep and chickes outside the window. Short drive to the local pub and town.

Wonderful
Carol is a super nice hostess who immediately made us feel at home. The cottage is small, but fine for a short stay. It was nice and warm and cosy during Christmas. There is more than enough to do in the area. Highly recommended is eating at the pub 'Chequers on the green'. We had a lovely week here!

Our perfect accomodation
For us the Stable was the perfect accomodation for our stay in beautiful Kent. We loved the setting between paddocks and fields with wildlife all around. The Lane beneath the cottage was not to busy, so we felt no disturbance from traffic. The rooms were perfectly sized for our needs and absolutely cosy and well equipped. We loved the chats with Carol and her husband when meeting on the grounds. They made us feel very welcome and were very helpful. The dogs are lovely and the chicken´s eggs were delicious. We will definitely come back.

Peaceful Rural Location
The property was in a wonderful, peaceful, rural location with lovely views of the owner's sheep in the field. All necessary amenities were provided and the owner very kindly provided us with supplies for our cooked breakfast and provided milk! The owner was very friendly. Parking was easy. The Summer house was great to use. The cottage was lovely. A wonderful experience and I can highly recommend it.

Good Location and beautiful views
Property was nicely situated on owner's land although some individual, private outdoor space would have been appreciated. The stairs were a little tricky (for us elderly folk) although probably would not be problematic to younger people - might be worth a mention in online listing though. Carol was exceedingly pleasant, very friendly and helpful and we very much enjoyed out stay.

Charming cottage with a warm welcome
We stayed in the cottage for a week in May. The detached cottage is well situated on the premises next to the home of the host. Carol is a helpful and amiable host and she loves animals. She took one of our daugthers for a long walk with her dogs and our daugther really enjoyed. The cottage is a former stable, the rooms are cozy with beautiful old beams in the walls and doorposts. Like in all older houses, tall people should mind their head (> 1,90 m) in some places, but this is part of the charming character. There is a lot of space outside, you can linger in the yard or at the small garden house with a book and enjoy the silence of the countryside. Also a lot of room for the car. Apart from spending the day near the cottage enjoying peace of mind and going for a walk, the location is perfect for trips to Hastings, Canterburry, Dover, Rye, Maidstone to name a few. All within 30-45 minutes drive. Do not forget to go for an English breakfast in nearby Tenterden.

Down on the farm
An amazing location with peace and quiet in abundance. Beautiful scenery and the stay was made even more wonderful with the sheep and chickens to keep us entertained. We enjoyed a lazy afternoon one day, sat in the summer house with a bottle of wine and watched the dragon flies flitting over the Lilly pads in the pond. So relaxing and peaceful.
