Cottage holiday rentals in Kingsdown

What a hidden gem of a place! We feel so lucky to have found Stable Oak Cottages and to have spent New Year there with our family celebrating our sons 18th. The place was gorgeous and the hot tub such a treat! The alpacas were great entertainment and the luxurious little touches from bath robes and sliders, to home baked bread and muffins were just wonderful. Highly recommend.

Larissa was really accommodating and had great communication in the lead up to our stay. The barn and surrounding area were lovely. Bathroom was clean and shower pressure was great! Very comfortable bed and a great night sleep, despite the heatwave temperatures which were outside of anyone’s control! I would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in or around the area.

We had a lovely week in Plantagenet and really cannot recommend it enough; the cottage really exceeded our expectations. The garden is phenomenal. It was a private and tranquil escape and our collie thoroughly enjoyed doing laps of the large garden despite the rainy weather. We loved it from the moment we arrived and didn't want to leave. The cottage is well equipped, has a great cosy ambiance with lots of indoor and outdoor game options no matter what the weather. The communication with Tim&Maite was friendly and responsive, we particularly appreciated the slightly late check out. We are hoping to book again soon with more of our family joining us.

What a beautiful cottage! Exactly like on the photos, very charming. Surroundings are stunning, hot tub was a treat. The kitchen is very well equipped with anything you might need. Beds were comfortable and cozy. The conservatory was great to just sit and play board games and have lovely meals, was nice and warm and toastie in there and the views!! Pauline’s communication and response times were excellent, very friendly and accommodating. All I would suggest, if possible is perhaps to think of some sort of covers/shelter from the cold/wind by the hot tub. It was very windy and we still wanted to enjoy the hot tub, but it got very cold whilst inside. Some sort of coverings will work a treat. Pauline suggested some great pubs and things to do in the area. All and all my friends and I had a lovely stay. Thanks Pauline!

wow what a find, the main attraction for us was the peaceful setting, the open views from the decking area was beautiful, I'm the worst person for relaxing, believe me I relaxed, the swimming pool and hot tub was gorgeous, definitely going to go back, great hosts, great accommodation, beautiful location. Thank you Peter & Karen

Me and my friends stayed for a long weekend. The house is beautifully furnished. Every bedroom is as nice as the next. Fishing was on our itinerary, and didn’t disappoint. The lake was very much private and the boats were a worthwhile addition. I (we) couldn’t recommend higher.

We stayed at Nina's in the Easter holiday with our two younger children. All of us were left enchanted by her beautiful home! we would love to revisit in the near future. The living room and open plan kitchen was perfect for our family. We enjoyed eating our meals with the garden doors wide open. I must say the garden stole the show with it's spacious hot tub! It's situated in such a mesmerising location where you look out to fields. Sheep can be heard constantly- something my three year old absolutely loved! We miss the serenity of the countryside and the beautiful views from the house! Definitely worth a visit! The surrounding areas are simply superb!

Stunning gaff, really loved our stay. Julie was great before we arrived and Brian was a lovely chap when we got there. The place is amazing, hot tub was just what we wanted, and they gave us so many great recommendations for our stay. Only negative is we didn’t get to meet Rodney 🐶

The house is beautiful and has a parking space which is a huge bonus in Whitstable where it can be quite difficult to park. Location is perfect, 1 minute walk from both the Harbour, and the high street which has beautiful shops and restaurants. The bedrooms are spacious, the garden is beautiful and the communication from Peter was excellent throughout.

Beautiful place to stay. Location was idyllic, beautiful and calm. The stable was decorated beautifully, very charming. And Sally was incredibly helpful, gave lots of information and suggestions and was very quick to respond. We would love to visit again sometime soon.

Gorgeous cottage with lovely grounds. Great that both bedrooms have both king beds and en-suites makes all the difference. The hosts had given a really great welcome with apple juice, butter, milk, bread, eggs on arrival - such a lovely touch! The cottage really did have everything you needed.

What a gem of a find. Spent a few days here with some friends, catching up and working remotely and it was utter bliss. The location is excellent, so close to everything!! and the house is perfect, exactly as described, no surprises just comfort and relaxed vibes. Beds were super comfy also, not always a given! Rufus our Labrador was also made to feel very at home in a truly dog friendly environment, he loved his days sheltering from the sun in the cool house and evenings on the beach! Dahlia is a wonderful host! We can recommend the Salt Sea Scrub Sauna on the beach as well as Oyster Happy Hour! We will be returning!

Caroline’s studio cottage, in the grounds of her beautiful home, was just delightful. We chose it for its proximity to the Gusbourne vineyard but it was also an excellent base for other local attractions including Battle, Rye and Camber sands. We loved having breakfast in the small courtyard outside the cottage, and the interior was furnished very tastefully. Caroline was an excellent host and we would highly recommend this property.

Amazing stay! Such a lovely cottage with everything you need, and some very thoughtful touches to it as well. Raychel also left us a lovely hamper of fruits and snacks :)

Fantastic place to stay for coast or country visiting Relaxing and quiet..beautiful oak tree Outside the room Peaceful

This is a cosy cottage with great views of the sea and simple access to the beach out of the back garden.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage. It was very clean and comfortable, with everything you could need provided for. Helpful local information and books were a bonus. Friendly communication and clear instructions were helpful. Dungeness is a unique place, and the cottage is so well situated for views, walks, very close to Prospect Cottage, Pilot Inn and Snack Shack. The little railway was great fun (we walked to the station). On our last night there was a storm and we watched the lightning over the sea and power station which was amazing! Thank you for being great hosts.

Lovely little house well equipped with everything needed and a little yard at the back to sit outside in the evening. It's close to the station and the front and well placed to get to Walmer Castle, restaurants and High Street. We had a lovely stay.

Very tastefully decorated cottage, perfect for two people. Really enjoyed sitting outside in the courtyard listening to the birdsong. Well equipped kitchen, and everything we needed for an easy stay. Lou was a very welcoming host, and everything in the cottage was absolutely ready on our arrival. The only issue I had was that the cottage is near a fairly busy road, and I had trouble getting to sleep on the first night due to the noise of passing cars. I nodded off by using ear plugs, and didn't have the same issue on the second night.

We stayed in this cottage over the weekend and it was perfect. It felt like a home away from home. The location is fantastic as you're less than 5 minutes from the beach and shops and restaurants. Whitstable is a great costal town too with much to offer. I recommend going to Whitstable and staying in this cottage. It has everything you need. Sue is a great host too, being attentive, informative and very helpful. We would like to come back. Thanks Sue

Michelle was there to meet us and was extremely helpful pointing out places to visit and also the best places to eat in the locality. The property is set down a quiet lane in lovely countryside. Inside everything was spotless and it’s impossible to fault anything. We would have no hesitation in returning. Thank you Michelle for a lovely stay.

We had a fabulous long weekend. The house is gorgeous,; Heather has a unique aesthetic. Lots of great local walks from the house, best to download the ordinance survey app. Fantastic log burner for chilly nights, it really throws out a lot of heat. Heather was the perfect host and we definitely hope to be back.

If you're lucky enough to visit Canterbury, then you MUST stay here! John's property offers a unique opportunity to stay in a historic building (it has its own Wiki entry!) that is footsteps away from all the key historic sites that make this city famous--not to mention the town's restaurants, pubs and shops. The place is well-equipped and super cosy, full of English cottage-charm décor. The free parking space is an additional bonus and very convenient; the deck out back lets you enjoy the river and the passage of small boats up close. There are direct views of the cathedral from the back--my favorite was the small "attic" bedroom window with a direct view onto the cathedral's spires. The place is very quiet at night, despite its proximity to popular pubs and restaurants. John is also super responsive and immensely helpful if you need to be in touch. We loved our stay here and would come back in a heartbeat!

Ed’s place was wonderful, clean and very quiet ! We loved our stay there, highly recommend!! (2 parents and 2 small children)
