"What a fantastic place to stay."
It was our first visit to Kent and it couldn't have had a better introduction. The Stables were beautiful, clean and very well equipped. And set in such gorgeous surroundings we nearly didn't go out! Our hosts were friendly, kind and helpful. I would highly recommend this as a getaway and a good touring base.

"A perfect property for 2 with the most comfortable bed we have ever come across and lovely art work."
The grounds are beautiful and very peaceful. The paddock was ideal for dog walking and the lake is perfect for sitting and watching the wildlife. The Old Stables is close to Headcorn Manor House, the Church and the attractive High Street. It is like stepping into the past. The train station is just a short walk away.
Thank you Martin for your feedback. You left the Old Stables beautifully clean and tidy so thank you for being such great guests.

"Great cottage in excellent location."
We were unable to cook anything though due to the poor kitchen layout with no work area and also the inadequate equipment - no non stick frying pan etc.
I'm sorry that you thought the cooking facilities inadequate but the kitchen area occupies one third of the space and couldn't be any larger in the limited space within the old stables. There is a frying pan and nobody else seems to have had any problems using it - non-stick or not!

Dear Luc and Ria - thank you for being the kindest, friendliest guests. The annexe was spotlessly clean when you left which I greatly appreciate. I do hope that you enjoy the rest of your UK tour despite the heatwave that you have brought with you from Belgium! Wishing you all the best David

"Cosy, comfortable property, set in lovely garden with an orchard, large pond and paddock."
We found the ducks, llamas and birdlife fascinating. Ideal for a dog, with the village of Headcorn and a common two minutes walk away. Good location for visiting local sights of Kent and East Sussex. Our hosts, David and Chris, were very helpful and provided a few useful items to welcome us.

Owner very helpful and welcoming. We were amused by the flock of ducks in the beautiful Manor garden and the inquisitive faces of the llamas in the field. Altogether a very pleasant and comfortable place for the few days we spent at The Old Stables.
Thank you for your kind comments and the lovely card drawn by your wife - so thoughtful of you!

"A lovely setting in a quiet location even tho’ it’s in the heart of the small town of Headcorn."
The high street is literally 5 minutes walk to coffee shops and pubs and restaurants and shops. The old stables are comfortable with good heating, everything you need is there in the small kitchen for a delightful stay. The hosts are there to meet you, and are there should you need them during your stay.
Highly recommended.
