Stunning location and 5 star holiday let

This is the most gorgeous holiday let beautifully decorated with all mod cons, stunning furnishings and attention to detail. Andrew was so welcoming and helpful and the little extras such as organic teas and coiffee and eco cleaning products showed just how much they care. The location is fantastic just minutes from the iconic Devils Kneading Trough and surrounded by other beauty spots on the North Downs. It is such a relaxing place to stay and hope to be back.

Great stay!

We're just back from a week stay at the North Stable. The property has been renovated beautifully and is very well equipped, everything you need to get away from it all for a while. Andrew was a great host and had some top tips for places to visit. Thanks very much!

Excellent location and friendly hosts.

Beautiful location, friendly hosts and ideal base for exploring Kent. Lovely grounds for dogs to exercise and infant to play. Cottage has everything we needed, including a few extras from the hosts (e.g. milk, bread and pain au chocolat on first morning).

Sorry but we would not book this property again

The property needs renervating which should have been reflected in the price. Also it was not very clean.

So sorry to hear you were unhappy, we do pride ourselves on cleanliness and have a very dedicated house keeper, however the place is due renovation and this is taking place throughout November.

Fantastic relaxing location

We stayed at the North Stable which was beautifully comfortable and fully equipped for a relaxing break. The North Stable is also suitable to bring your dog which was a real bonus for us, the outside space was enclosed and fully dog friendly and the fields and surrounding area just ideal for long walks and exploring. The accommodation was just perfect and so quiet and comfortable, we would definitely be recommending this to our family and friends and be returning again in the near future. Thanks for such a warm welcome and a wonderful, relaxing stay. Steve & Ida (and Sky the boarder collie)

Great Summer Getaway

We wanted a base with access to coast and countryside and the North Stable was the perfect match. We all enjoyed walking along the North Downs and exploring the South Coast. The property was really clean and well equipped. We did a mix of self-catering and eating out, with plenty choices a short drive away. Thanks very much for a great holiday!

Fantastic setting

Rachael and Andy could not have been more welcoming, the grounds are fantastic and have everything for children including a trampoline, Badminton set, outdoor toys and a field to run around it. There are beaches about 30 mins drive in every direction. A great place for a very relaxing holiday.

Stay at Crabtree Farm Cottages

We had a great time and Andrew was a great host. The converted stables were very pleasant to stay in and we will be looking to return for another visit soon.

We had a wonderfull week

Ruime vakantiewoning, rustig en mooi gelegen op het platteland. Naar trekpleisters is het dus altijd een beetje rijden maar altijd langs verrassende en prachtige routes. Huis is van alle comfort voorzien, het keukenmateriaal mag iets uitgebreider. Mooie tuin, goed verzorgd. Top!

Countryside Haven

If you want to get away from all the hustle and bustle then this is the place. Rolling countryside, great walks and views and birdsound all around you. Great facilities for dog owners as well.

Rustige plek, ruim en plezierig contact met verhuurders

Schoon, ruim, goed verzorgd! Tip: misschien iets comfortabeler banken voor de wat oudere ruggetjes.

Perfect relaxing time. Cosy and comfy.

We would definitely return. Also we recommend it to others. Owners gave a friendly welcome. One down side the fridge is too small. You would struggle to put food in it if you was staying for a week. Could do with more fridge space. Apart from that perfect.

Such a lovely place

We realy enjoy our holiday at the Crabtree Farm. The location was very nice and the Granary was clean and well-maintained, a lovely place for holiday. Many thanks to Ian and Amanda, you are very kind hosts so we'll come back next year.

Lovely pet friendly 2 bed cottage in Kent.

Nice friendly welcome on arrival. The Granary was clean and well maintained. The layout and facilities were exactly as we expected. Our dog loved her walks in the adjacent paddocks. We particularly liked Wye just three miles away and visited the Farmers Market on Saturday and dined at the Tickled Trout pub. Would recommend property to friends.
