We were a family having a weekend get together for a birthday celebration. Stable Lodge was the perfect place for us. The accommodation is rambling and spacious. Well equipped and comfortably furnished. The swimming pool is the jewel in the crown! We wouldn’t hesitate to go back. Louise is a great host and made our stay perfect.

I book a long weekend in Canterbury each summer to visit friends in the area and usually spend ages finding a suitable property. Next year I won't even look - I'll go back to Stable Lodge. The property is comfortable, very spacious, had all the essentials and some extras thrown in for good measure. The garden is huge with lots of very comfortable garden furniture. The icing on the cake is the wonderful swimming pool and pool house. We were very lucky with the weather and spent many hours at or in the pool. Louise, the owner, is wonderful! From the first time I emailed her with questions to the time we said goodbye this morning, she was friendly, efficient, accommodating and more than happy to 'go the extra mile' to help whenever she could. Thank you Louise. We would have had a wonderful time in your lovely property anyway, but you made it so much better for us. Last word must go to Bentley, Louise's dog. He was so friendly and intelligent, and adopted one of our party as his new playmate! :-)
