Stable West forms part of a converted Edwardian stable block and is situated in a rural yet convenient location, on the edge of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty only 2 miles from the edge of Canterbury. It has a large double bedroom (super kingsize bed) with en-suite bathroom on the ground floor, and a further double and single bedroom with shared bathroom on the first floor - all have very comfy mattresses. There is a fully equipped kitchen/dining room with seating for eight, a large attractive sitting room with wood burning stove and Sky Sports, and a light and oak beamed conservatory with additional dining table which leads to an enclosed private garden with a terrace (table and chairs and BBQ). There is a downstairs cloakroom / utility room. The cottage has its own parking forecourt and is surrounded by the owners' large garden and wild flower meadow where you are free to wander. Use of tennis court and swimming pool and EV charging by arrangement with the owners.

High chair, travel cot and stair gate provided by arrangement.

Please note that we have (friendly) dogs living next door who may come and visit! As well as Canterbury there are many other places of interest within easy reach, such as Howletts Zoo Park (10 minutes by car), Dover Castle (25 minutes) and Sissinghurst Gardens (40 mins). There is also a wide variety of beaches and seaside resorts between 20 and 40 minutes away. Canterbury is less than an hour from London by train, and we are 20 minutes from the Channel Tunnel if you fancy a day trip to France. There are many lovely walks straight from the house, and the Granville pub is a10 minute walk away, serving delicious food and also great for a pint of the local beer.

    Beautiful property in a lovely setting. Property had everything you could want during your stay. Hosts were very helpful and welcoming leaving chocolate and wine which was most welcome. Although the property is in a countryside setting it is well connected tomajor road network and amenities.

    This is a very special holiday cottage and I'd recommend it to anyone wanting an idyllic rural retreat, with access to a pool, tennis court and beautiful country walks. It's also very near to the historic city of Canterbury with all its attractions.

    The stable conversion is set in a lovely garden with splendid views and was very peaceful, set away from the road through the village. The accommodation is spacious, comfortable and well equipped. There is a nice pub within walking distance. The host was friendly and gave helpful suggestions for walks. The booking process was very efficient and our questions were answered promptly. We had a lovely stay.

    We adore this property and this is our second visit. It was perfect for three adults and a two year old. Spacious, comfortable and private but hosts Lucy and Charlie, who are very friendly and helpful, are nearby if needed. Close to Canterbury and numerous other places to visit but in a quiet setting with wonderful views. We love everything and hope to return again. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t warm enough for a dip in the lovely pool - maybe next time.

    Stable End is a lovely cottage, part of a larger complex in Heddington, near Canterbury, in Kent. It has Old World charm with all the added modern conveniences. It's located in a quiet and beautiful part of the country, situated in The Garden of England. The wonderful city of Canterbury is just minutes away, with the glorious cathedral awaiting your visit. Grocery stores of all sizes are close by, together with a large variety of small restaurants and pubs. The rooms at Stable End are quite spacious and three bedrooms can easily accommodate up to six guests. Hosts Charlie and Lucy made sure someone would be close by, on site, to help with any questions and concerns. Overall, a wonderful experience, enhanced by beautiful weather. Check it out for yourselves!
