Emma created a beautiful welcoming space to stay. The apple and banana muffins, were are lovely surprise and delicious to eat. It is a tranquil location with good amenities a short drive away. One of the reason we selected The Stables was there were toys and books available for our two year old to play with. Would stay there again!

We had a lovely 4-night stay at The Stables. Emma was helpful and surprised us with some delicious homemade Easter cupcakes half way through our stay. The place was quiet, clean, comfortable and well equipped. The two dogs were adorable and very friendly. Private parking was much appreciated. It's in a great location for exploring the local area and we would definitely stay here again when we visit Kent again.

The Stables was rustic and charming. It was clean and had all the amenities you could need. We were greeted with fresh flowers and cookies left by EmmaAlthough you could hear local traffic from the end of the garden, we could also hear birdsong and watch birds flit about in the trees. The Stables was in a good location to visit nearby attractions and there was a pub and convenience shop a few minutes drive away. We would happily stay there again.

Great location for visiting Kent, it's National Trust properties & the coast. Lovely , high quality homely place to stay. More spacious than you may think from the photos. A great bathroom that will have you counting the tiles! We all had a relaxing stay including the dog.

We couldn't have had a nicer stay at The Stables! Emma went over and above to make us feel at home, from tea and biscuits to fresh arrangements from her garden. A delightful place with every amenity thought of, perfect for the 3 of us. Thank you, Emma! We highly recommend The Stables!

Country living

We spent a glorious week in the Stables. Lots to do in the area and the cottage was lovely. Comfortable bed, great bathroom amenities, and a kitchen with everything you might need (no microwave however). Unobstrusive host (good thing) who responded to questions very quickly.

Very nice cottage and excellent host

This is a very comfortable and attractive cottage set in the back of a large, gated estate. The cottage is near the main house but set in a way that gives total privacy. The location near Sissinghurst village is ideal for local walking and there are many nearby attractions. The host was attentive and gracious and very helpful without being intrusive. The cottage is very comfortable and well-equiped. We enjoyed our stay very much and would return in the future. Note it would be difficult to stay in this area without a car.

Prachtige, sfeervolle cottage in Kent. In- en uitchecken verliep heel soepel, alles was duidelijk en heel praktisch. We waren aangenaam verrast bij aankomst; overal verse bloemen uit de tuin, een zakje lokale chips en versgebakken koekjes. Het was erg gastvrij. Ook de privétuin vonden wij geweldig. Een mooie uitvalsbasis om Kent te verkennen.

Flowerful time in Sissinghurst

Wir haben 5 wunderbare Tage in dem sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtetem Cottage von Emma und Kenneth verbracht. Überall standen frische Blumensträuße und es gab Milch und Schokolade zur Ankunft. Viele Tipps von den sehr herzlichen Gastgebern. Der berühmte Garten ist ca. 3 km entfernt. Mit dem Auto wunderbar zu erreichen. Zu Fuß braucht man Wandreschuhe oder Gummistiefel.

Knus

Zeer compleet huis, heerlijk warm en grote omheinde tuin. Fijne en lieve gastvrouw die een goed en comfortabel verblijf begrijpt. Bij binnenkomst lekker warm, zuiver, lampjes en vers fruit met lokale koekjes op het aanrecht. Voor deze regio zouden we zeker niet twijfelen nogeens te boeken.

Perfect country retreat!

We recently sold our house and needed a base for a couple of weeks so we booked the stables but ended up staying on longer as it was so perfect for us and our two dogs! After a stressful few days moving house we turned up at the stables and immediately felt at home! Emma was the perfect host & I can’t recommend her beautiful property enough!

Excellent sejour

Superbe cottage, déco british de très bon goût, qualité de la literie remarquable, beau jardin. Plein de chocolats et autres douceurs offertes lors de notre arrivée le jour de Pâques... A recommander +++. Emplacement idéal au cœur d'une campagne magnifique et preservée, à quelques centaines de mètres du village de caractère de Sissinghurst. Pas mal de Pub dans les environs. On a hâte de revenir. Encore pas mal de châteaux et jardins à visiter dans les environs! Encore merci Emma pour cet accueil

A relaxing, comfortable stay

We loved our stay in the Stables, it’s in a great location for day trips out to Sissinghurst Castle & Gardens, Rye, Battle, Hastings, Tunbridge Wells, Leeds Castle and Canterbury; the itinerary for our week. The cottage is comfortable and spacious for our family of three and has some lovely touches to make it a home from home. We also made full use of the lovely garden and bbq during our stay.

Sfeervolle cottage

De verbouwde stal is smaakvol ingericht en geriefelijk. Het gemis van een vaatwasmachine is dan overkomelijk. Keuken en bedden zijn prima! Voor de koffieliefhebbers, er is alleen een percolator aanwezig. Voor 4 personen is de ruimte ook meer dan voldoende. Wel is de eettafel wat krap. Geldt ook een beetje voor het stapelbed als daar volwassenen moeten slapen. Voor kinderen is het geen enkel probleem. Er is ook (buiten)speelgoed aanwezig en de pony in het naastgelegen weitje is blij met extra aandacht. Geldt ook voor de hondjes van de eigenaar die af en toe over het erf lopen. De eigenaren wonen naast de cottage en zijn zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Privacy is prima gewaarborgd. Ontvangst op dag aankomst is met een lampje aan in de woonkamer inclusief een klassiek muziekje. De haloween pompoen bij de voordeur was voorzien van een kaars. Londen is een uur met de trein naar Charing Cross, goed te doen dus. Andere bezienswaardigheden binnen 30 minuten rijden Al met al een uitstekende locatie tegen een goede prijs en een aanrader voor een bezoek aan Kent.

Idealer Erholungsort im schönen Kent

Emma ist eine sehr warmherzige, unkomplizierte Gastgeberin, die uns gerne Tipps für Gaststätten und Ausflüge gegeben hat. Die Unterkunft ist zwar nicht allzu groß, bietet aber genug Platz für eine vierköpfige Familie und ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Bei schönem Wetter kann man wunderbar die Terrasse und den Garten genießen. Wir sind in der Umgebung auch gerne wandern gegangen, z.B. nach Sissinghurst oder zum Teetrinken nach Cranbrook. Insgesamt ein sehr gemütlicher Aufenthaltsort, um das schöne Kent zu erkunden.

Komfortables Ferienhaus in ruhiger Lage

Das Haus hat alles, was man für einen erholsamen Urlaub braucht. Vom welcome tray bei der Ankunft, frischen Blumen in Wohn- und Schlafzimmer bis zu den altersgemäßen Büchern im Kinderzimmer hat einfach alles gepasst. Die Einrichtung ist ein Traum. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt und können das Haus uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Als Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge ist das Haus ideal. Wer weiter weg möchte: Fünfzehn Fahrminuten sind es bis zum Bahnhof Staplehurst mit Direktverbindung nach London. Die Vermieterin Emma ist sehr nett und aufmerksam. Die Kommunikation hat reibungslos funktioniert. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
