Perfect stay for a relaxing weekend

My husband and I stayed for two nights whilst attending a wedding at nearby Preston Court. We had a lovely relaxing stay. We particularly appreciated the supplies in the fridge and the comfy bed. The perfect place to stay for visiting Canterbury and the nearby areas. Would definitely stay again.

A Perfect Home from Home

We absolutely loved our stay at The Stable! It really was a home from home, beautifully presented and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing break. The accommodation has been finished to a really lovely standard, and the surrounding grounds are beautiful. The village itself was peaceful, making it the perfect place to unwind and escape for a few days. The owners were lovely, and the welcome pack was a fantastic touch — very thoughtful and much appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and would happily recommend The Stable to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. We’d love to return!

The Stable exceeded expectations

Arriving at this lovely, interesting property was a joy - the cottage was superbly presented, with welcoming lights; the welcome gifts were exceptional; it was warm, cosy and very comfortable. Beautifully and imaginatively furnished to a high standard. The outside space was much better, and more spacious, than we had anticipated, and being fully enclosed was a great bonus for our peace of mind, as our Golden just wanted to be outside all the time! If anything, the photos don’t do the property justice. A really lovely cottage, and a good first experience with Keepers Cottages.

Wonderful place, wonderful hosts!

We had such a brilliant stay at the stables. Lovely place that was private, cosy and very well looked after. The owner is a very sweet lady that left us some local honey, sausages and bacon as well as bread and milk ❤️❤️❤️ such a fantastic welcome. Highly recommend!

A lovely peaceful stay in the country

It’s our second trip back to Parsonage Farm and it didn’t disappoint, we benefitted from glorious weather so really made the most of the outdoor seating area. The location is great for us as the cycle routes around are very good and the owners left us the shed key so we could store bikes and golf clubs easily. I’m sure we will be back for a third visit.

Perfect base for the two of us for our stay in east Kent. Our hosts were most welcoming and informative and went out of their way to help. Lovely welcome pack meant we wouldn't have needed to shop for breakfast. Highly recommended.

The Stable

The Stable has been converted into a lovely place to stay. Everything has been done to a very high standard and there is attention to detail throughout. The welcome pack containing local produce, including homemade bread and honey was no exception. Lisa and George were welcoming and informative.

The Stable, Preston

Our two-night stay at this Preston property proved to be a wonderfully relaxing retreat. The village's peaceful atmosphere immediately set a welcoming tone, and we appreciated the tranquil surroundings throughout our visit. A short walk from the accommodation brings you to St Mildred's Church, which provided the perfect setting for enjoyable dog walks during our stay. The countryside surrounding the church is beautiful and genuinely rewarding to explore with your canine companion. The owners have clearly thought carefully about their guests' comfort. Upon arrival, we were delighted to find a welcome basket containing homemade honey produced on-site, dog treats, fresh bread, bacon and local apple juice—a thoughtful touch that felt genuinely personal. The property itself is impressive. The conversion of the historic parsonage outbuildings has been executed to a high standard, combining period charm with modern comfort and quality finishing. Secure car parking within the grounds provided additional peace of mind during our stay. The owners' evident care in creating a warm, welcoming environment—from the personalised welcome basket to the dog-friendly location—makes this an excellent choice for anyone seeking a peaceful village retreat with outstanding amenities for those with our without a dog.
