About this property

The Stable - Beautifully Converted Cottage in Rural Setting Near Tenterden

Situated in a rural location, yet with Tenterden on the doorstep, The Stable spot has some amazing views across the Wealden countryside. Once a stable, the property has been tastefully restored into a quality home from home. Each fitting has been skilfully crafted - each door has been hand made and the beautiful brickwork, beams give a real sense of authenticity. The patio looks across a paddock and has garden furniture. Fresh farm produce can also be purchased from next door depending on the season.

Off from the entrance hall, the well equipped kitchen includes oven and gas hob, fridge/freezer, microwave and dishwasher. Stepping down from this into the spacious lounge and dining area, the exposed brickwork and wood-burning stove bring a great deal of character. Comfortable seating for 6 in both dining and lounge spaces along with a flat-screen Freeview TV and double doors which lead out onto the patio. The family bathroom including bath with shower over, WC and basin is also on this floor as well as a double bedroom with en-suite shower-room. Upstairs is a quirky landing connecting either end with an equally character twin bedroom - this feels like something from a fairy tale with its vaulted beams! At the other end is a another double bedroom with views across the paddock and a further bathroom including bath, WC and basin. 2 put-up beds can be erected to sleep 8 at an additional charge, one on the upstairs landing and the other in the main king size bedroom.

A gorgeous renovation in a great location, and thoughtfully equipped. Thanks to Lynn and Colin who were wonderful hosts. Our little people were charmed by regular visits from the cows, geese and sheep who lived in the field next door. Highly recommended!

Simply perfect

The Stable is a comfortable and charming accommodation, and it was super clean. Lynn and Colin made us feel very welcome, and it was nice to be welcomed by the farm animals every day as well. The location was great, we loved spending time in Tenterden and the High Weald. We highly recommend it!

Wonderful Christmas

The Stable was spotless, cosy and spacious with a beautifully fitted kitchen and 3 lovely bedooms and 3 bathrooms. The Landlord was charming and couldn't have been more helpful. It was the perfect place for our family from Rolvenden, Hastings and Toulouse to have a wonderful Christmas.

Wonderful holidays

We had lovely three weeks at The Stable: a family of four grown-ups, we had plenty of space, also for working from "home". We have never had a holiday home that was so well equipped, with so many practical details . The house is divided in an old part, very cleverly furbished and decorated, and an newly built part, a lovely patio with a view over the countryside and a pasture with cattle, sheep and geese - one could watch them all day. Tenterden town centre is 2 kilometres away providing opportunities for shopping. There are many owner-managed shops, restaurants an cafés. Small Hythe, part of Tenterden and its old port, is home of a big vineyard with a restaurant, shop and walks around the vineyard, and a lovely garden and house, now cared for by the National Trust. Lots of things to do and explore in the neighbourhood, Sissinghurst and Great Dixter Gardens, just to name a few. We really enjoyed our stay!

Lovely!

Myself, Mother and Aunt were all impressed with the property. It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed along with a splendid welcome pack. We loved being on a farm watching a variety of creatures. Although feeling remote it was less than a 10 minute drive to Tenterden. Would recommend!

Excellent accommodation. 5 star.

The Stable provides five star facilities. It has been very tastefully renovated. The welcome pack was very thoughtful and much appreciated. The accommodation was very comfortable and there was plenty of space for six of us. The owners were very friendly and it was lovely to see the lambs being born.

Unique, beautiful barn conversion on a working farm.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the stables. The cottage is a converted barn/stable with lots of character and unique quirky features. It is situated on a working farm next to the farmer/owners family home on the side of a quiet lane, about a mile from Tenterden town centre. The owners are lovely and provided a much welcomed basket of provisions from the farm on our arrival. The seating area outside was next to the field/paddock which was occupied by cows, geese and ducks which would be great for younger children to look at. It was, however, quite noisy at times which we didn’t mind (all part of the farm experience) The only downside, we felt, was a feeling of being slightly ‘on show’ when sitting outside - we would have preferred a more secluded garden area, but this is just a personal preference. The location is superb; a short drive to local towns, lots of National Trust properties, half an hour from beaches at Hastings and the south coast and a pleasant hour on the train from Headcorn station into central London (we got last minute tickets to watch a West End show) In conclusion this is a beautiful property in a great location with friendly, helpful owners. We would definitely visit again.

Top place

Skilled and imaginative barn conversion finished to a really high standard. High grade furnishings and a very well equipped kitchen. Many unexpected extras such as the much appreciated welcome pack. Tenterden is an attractive and buzzing town with no shortage of good places to eat across a wide range of styles and price, and a choice of independent farm shops for when you prepare your own meals. Owners Colin and Lynne are friendly and helpful hosts and their chickens, geese, ducks and cattle (and not forgetting the dogs) add character to the wide views across Kent. Altogether a top place run by top people
