In the ‘Garden of England’, where the apple orchards blossom, situated between the Wealden villages of Frittenden and Staplehurst, lies this single-storey barn with level access. It adjoins the owner’s home and is surrounded by glorious Kentish countryside, and is situated in a very quiet location at the end of a long private driveway, overlooking paddocks with horses grazing. Maplehurst Barn Stables makes an excellent base for exploring or simply just sitting on the decking and relaxing. Visit Hush Heath, the state of the art winery, with a beautiful 400-acre estate, where some of England’s most iconic still and sparkling wines, and ciders are produced. Visitors can join a guided vineyard and tasting tour.

Garden lovers should head towards the National Trust owned Sissinghurst Castle and Gardens, which once belonged to the writer Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicholson and is one of the most famous gardens in England achieving Grade I Status. The gardens at Great Dixter, Pashley Manor and Scotney Castle are also not to be missed. Described as the ‘loveliest castle in the world’, Leeds Castle is nestled near the county town of Maidstone, where you can also enjoy open air concerts in the summer. Tunbridge Wells is half an hour’s drive away and offers Jazz on the Pantiles and many fine dining experience. Beaches can be found at Hastings and Camber Sands and there are very good rail connections to London offering the theatre and additional sightseeing opportunities. Should you bring your passport, board a train at Ashford and have lunch in Paris or Bruges. Shop, pub and restaurant 1½ miles.

An idyllic, peaceful spot and a well appointed, clean and cosy cottage/annex.

An idyllic, peaceful spot and a well appointed, clean and cosy cottage/annex.The track leading to the accommodation was a little tricky to navigate owing to some significant potholes, but picking our way up to the property was well worth it. Pauline was incredibly welcoming, without being overbearing, and it was a joy to meet her dog and horses. The quiet, rural views were wonderful to wake up to!

Fijn huis in mooie omgeving

Comfortabel, voldoende uitgerust, op prachtige locatie. Schitterend uitzicht op weide en bos aan de achterzijde. Veel waar voor het geld. Diverse gezellige pubs in de omgeving, waar het goed eten was. Ga naar The Three Chimneys!

A really great place to stay if you want comfort and tranquillity.

A really great place to stay if you want comfort and tranquillity. We can't really give a high score for location and amenities as it is in an isolated position very off the beaten track. However, that was our choice and it is lovely there so we wouldn't want to lower the overall score. It is so good that we hope to return when the weather is better!

Such a lovely cottage and wonderful hosts. The care package was a great touch and we had a great week in the peace and quiet. The cottage is warm and comfortable with lots of space to relax indoors in the cooler weather. Highly recommend! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

The cottage is set in peaceful surroundings and has everything you would want for a self catering holiday. There are lots of attractive places to visit in the area and the owners have obviously worked hard to provide quality accommodation with nice personal touches. After a busy day exploring coast, castles, gardens or countryside it was good to sit outside and watch the horses and wild rabbits in the field behind the cottage.
