About this property

Beautiful barn with private log fired hot tub overlooking the North Downs.

Oak Cottage is a beautiful holiday home nestled at the foot of the North Downs on the outskirts of Maidstone in a small village called Harrietsham. We are known for our outstanding views, abundant wildlife and fantastic walks. We are located on a small holding with Alpacas, Pigs a sheep called Boo and various birds which you are more than welcome to pet and feed. Oak Cottage is light and airy with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and large patio doors leading to an open plan kitchen lounge area with everything you need for a comfortable stay. A hallway leads onto a separate large shower room and three bedrooms. The master bedroom, with a king-sized bed, is decorated in a cool colour scheme. Along the hall is another charming and pretty double bedroom decorated in a country cottage design which can be made into 2 single beds. The third bedroom has a double bed with a single bed above for added guests. Outside the cottage, there is a secluded patio and garden area with a table and seating for six people.
At Stable Oak cottages we are all about the finer details. If you would like to personalise your stay, we do offer some additional extras like our breakfast hampers, romantic treat hampers, afternoon tea and can also arrange for the cottage to have decorations for those special occasions. Please do contact us if you know would like to find out more.

Outstanding retreat location
I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed staying here. The house was clean, inviting, warm, and well positioned for comfort. The hostess set out fresh baked bread and muffins, butter, milk, eggs, coffee—everything we needed for a delicious breakfast to get our mornings going. The linens were soft and fresh, and beds were quite comfortable. We absolutely will stay here in the future!

Excellent accommodation
Lovely and clean. The added bonus is the alpacas which the children got to feed. Homemade cakes, butter, bread and milk on arrival was such a lovely touch. The hot tub is also amazing

Amazing Christmas break 🎅
Such a lovely clean place to stay, and welcoming hosts too. Homemade bread, muffins and fresh eggs on arrival too! My little boy loved the daily opportunities of feeding the chickens & alpacas too. The log fired hot tub was an added extra and loved by us all.
