The Stables at Churchlands Farm Reviews

Emma
This place is lovely, really peacefuland the hot tub is a nice bonus. Would happily recommend!
Emma
The cottage was absolutely stunning, nestled in such peaceful surroundings with breathtaking views. We loved the decor and facilities - honestly didn't want to leave, it was so lovely!
Emma
We recently stayed at this cottage for a peaceful breakand honestly, it was just what we needed. The conversion is done really professionally; every detail seems thought through, making it super comfy. The little garden is perfect for dogs and kids to play safely. The hot tub is a real highlight - just right after a day out. There's plenty of walking spots nearby, though a word of warning: the pub isn't within walking distance, especially if you're like us in your 60s. Also, beware of satnavs trying to send you down every tiny lane in Kent - stick to the B roads! Despite these minor quirks, we had a lovely stay and appreciated having all the facilities we could want. Would definitely recommend for anyone after a quiet retreat. We'll be back!
