Spacious, very well appointed accommodation in rural location. Cosy in early November with underfloor heating downstairs. Comfortable beds! Within easy reach of Deal, Sandwich etc. and easy runs to Canterbury, Rochester, Chatham via A2. Sacha is a friendly and helpful host.

The Stable is a lovely place to stay, beautifully decorated and kitted out with all necessities. The friendly owners provided a welcome gift of milk, butter, biscuits, etc., which was a thoughtful touch. All of Kent’s points of interest are within easy reach but the place itself is wonderfully serene. Highly recommended!
