It is a calm tranquil space with two bedrooms, a kitchen with a comfortable seating area looking out on to the terrace and large private fenced garden. A bathroom with a bath and shower over and a separate toilet. There is also a snug tv room for cosy evenings. The master bedroom has a comfortable king size bed with great quality linens. The decor is inspired by the beautiful countryside and gardens around us.

Sissinghurst Castle Gardens are just down the road and there are numerous other National Trust and British Heritage properties close by, including Leeds Castle, Scotney Castle, Bodiam Castle and Dover Castle. Pashley Manor Gardens, Great Dixter and Hole Park. Bedgebury Pinetum with it's fantastic woodland children's trail is 15 minutes drive and Rye and Camber Sands on the Coast 40 minutes away.

Our family of five live in the main house with our two friendly dogs Yogi and Hebe and are on hand if you need any assistance or information during your stay. We mainly use eco cleaning & washing products, avoid plastics, wash tand dry our laundry on site and recycle as much as possible to do our bit for sustainable travel.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Für 4 Personen perfekt!

The Stables ist eine perfekte Unterkunft für 4 Personen. Umgeben von der herrlichen Landschaft Kent haben Emma und Gareth aus dem ehemaligen Stall ein wahres Kleinod gezaubert. Einerseits recht urig durch die Holzwände und viele Kleinigkeiten, die noch im Urzustand sind. Andererseits ist die Ausstattung hochmodern. Ein schönes Badezimmer, eine funktional und gut ausgestattete Küche mit direktem Zugang zum "privaten" Garten, den man wirklich alleine nutzt. WLAN im Gebäude und eine zentral durch Zeituhr und Thermostat regulierte Heizung sind vorhanden, sodass wir trotz mäßigem Wetter immer eine kuschelige Bleibe hatten. Alles ist sehr geschmackvoll und mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Bis hin zu den frischen Blümchen in den Vasen hat alles prima gepasst. Ein Schlafraum ist mit einem großen französischen Bett und einem wirklich sehenswerten Kleiderschrank ausgestattet. Im zweiten Schlafraum ist ein recht niedriges Doppelbett. Wer unten schläft, sollte nicht an Klaustrophobie leiden! Ein Auto ist unverzichtbar. Damit ist aber alles (Coop in Cranbrook, Tankstelle mit LPG (passenden Adapter nicht vergessen!) in 10 Minuten zu erreichen. Viele sehenswerte Städte und Orte sind im Umkreis von 1 Std. Zu erreichen. Und such nach London kommt man gut. Ab Staplehurst fährt ein Zug. Wir sind mit dem Auto nach North Greenwich gefahren. Dort gibt es direkt am Bahnhof einen Parkplatz und man kann mit der Oyster-Card die Öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel nutzen. Die Besitzer wohnen direkt im Haupthaus daneben. Außer gelegentlichen Besuchen eines der Hunde kann man aber tun und lassen, was man will. Gibt es eine Frage, steht Emma aber immer sofort mit Rat und Tat zur Stelle. Alles in allem hat es uns sehr, sehr gut gefallen und wir können Sissinghurst Stables absolut weiterempfehlen.

Perfect location for Sissinghurst Castle Garden

Lovely rural and rustic, but comfortable, accommodation with good kitchen facilities for simple meals (there is no microwave). It is about 3 mins drive to Sissinghurst Castle and about 10 mins drive to the historic town of Cranbrook which is worth a look, particularly the wind mill. For those that like gardens it is also close to Great Dixter. Emma recommended The Milk Room Restaurant which was very good and just up the road. There is a small village shop opposite the Milk Room with some meats, veg, fruit and other packaged food. Emma was delightful, friendly and very helpful. We would highly recommend this property for a relaxed country stay.

Perfect little hideaway in the heart of Kent

The converted stable building provides a cosy home away from home. It's interior is tastefully decorated and a very successful combination of modern/contemporary and nostalgic/period styles. All the family was always looking forward to returning to our nice little holiday home and enjoy a long, hot bath, a relaxing game in the living room, or enjoying a film in the TV lounge. Emma and Garret, the owners, are very welcoming and always eager to provide help, support, and tipps about what to do in the area. Canterbury is also less than an hour away. Sissinghurst is a nice little village, and the location is ideal to reach all corners of Kent between London and the coast, plus parts of East Sussex. Actually about the only downside is that at some point it's over and you have to leave again. We're certainly planning to come back one time!

About the host

Hosted by Emma Jordan

We are a family of five who split our lives between our love of the countryside and our love of the sea. We enjoy sharing our fantastic piece of Kent with our guests, but will leave you in peace unless you need information or help with your trip. We also have two friendly dogs. We love walking, cycling, sailing and skiing, good food and cooking also plays a large part in our lives.

The Stables is really comfy and private and we hope that you will come and stay.

Why they chose this property

The Stables is tucked away up at the top of an electric gated drive but still close to the village of Sissinghurst with it's fantastic pub 'The Milkhouse' which is well known for it's delicious wood fired pizzas, restaurant and child friendly garden. The Stables have a large wildlife friendly garden and is sympathetically decorated with a botanical theme.

Sissinghurst Gardens is a 30 minute walk (past The Milkhouse!) or a 5 minute drive. Go and see the beautiful gardens or just take the dog for a walk around the estate.

Bedgebury Pinetum is a magical playground for children with its many woodland play areas dotted around and family walks in the forest. Or hire some mountain bikes for a woodland trail. They also have a Go Ape treetop adventure if you're brave.

What makes this property unique

We are 10 minutes drive to Staplehurst train station the train takes 45 minutes into London Charing Cross, 30 minutes drive to the port of Dover and 45 minutes drive to Gatwick airport. We are surrounded with woodlands, fields and orchards and many National Trust and English Heritage properties.
