    Peace and tranquility. Very helpful and friendly host. Stable has everything you need to self-cater and chill out. If you're staying on the 1st or 3rd Saturday of the month, Wye Farmer's Market is worth a visit. :-)

    Lovely property in the picturesque location. The hosts are very welcoming, accommodation was clean and had all facilities (and even more: we found some fruit, bread, eggs on arrival, which was very handy with two hungry kids!) Highly recommend!

    Lovely rural location, friendly welcome. The property owner had kindly baked cup cakes, which was a lovely surprise. The property was spotless and it had everything we needed.

    Caroline was so accommodating! A lovely venue, in a beautiful location, with such kind people running it. Loved having cuddles with the puppy that was there too. Thank you for everything. Breakfast items being left was such a thoughtful gesture....

Set in the heart of rural Kent in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, at dusk you could meet deer, badgers or foxes along the road - a bird-watching paradise! Gizmo the giant Snow dog sculpture is a popular attraction and there is an electric vehicle charging point available on site - Tesla 8 kw Type 2 charger.
Caroline and Tony. We are on site so please ask if you need anything during your stay.
Close to The Channel Tunnel (35 mins to France) and near to the High Speed Rail Link (38 mins to London). The Bowl Inn, recognised by Camra good beer guide, is within walking distance.
