Farmstay vacation rentals in Maidstone District

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.

Spacious accommodation with nice views. We were given clear instructions and met on arrival. The fireplace Waa an added bonus. Not far from the Spa Valley railway and other attractions. Recommend for a weekend away or even a longer stay.

Lovely location, situated far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the towns but not too far to be completely cut off. Views from the top lounge were spectacular. Host was very friendly and informative about the area.

Jenny & Lisa both responded really quickly to messages and proactively sent really useful extra info on how to get there so we arrived stress free! Lovely barn conversion in beautiful countryside. Very clean & tidy throughout & as described. Perfect base for us to explore nearby attractions. Excellent local & wider recommendations in the info book with OS Map for walks if needed. Already recommended ‘The Old Barn’ to a friend! Thank you 😊

We were a party of ten adults and one child staying at Martin’s home for the weekend. The property was superb, wonderfully decorated and fully equipped with everything we could possibly need. The gardens were beautiful. We were lucky to be blessed with fabulous weather and made the most of it. We were also lucky to be visiting during lambing season. Watching lambs being born was quite an experience. I would highly recommend this property and hope to revisit again one day

We really enjoyed our stay at The Piggery. It is an attractively decorated cottage and everything that you need for your stay is provided. The setting is peaceful and picturesque and there are lots of things to do nearby. The enclosed garden was perfect for our dog and there are some lovely walks just outside the door.

This get away for me & my best friend was amazing due to the beautiful location we chose. Honestly worth every penny & second that was spent here & I would do it all over again! Lovely place honestly & very well equipped with dishes & glasses & all sorts.

We had the most wonderful stay at Alice and Alan's cozy cowshed! The space was incredibly warm and inviting, providing a perfect retreat for both of us. Alice and Alan were exceptional hosts, always available to offer assistance and making sure we had everything we needed. They even allowed us to use their beautiful garden, which was such a lovely bonus. One of the highlights was when Alice and Alan kindly offered to drop us into town, saving us the hassle of getting a taxi. They also gave us great recommendations for cabs to get home later on. The stay was extremely nice, and we absolutely loved every moment. We would 100% go back and highly recommend this wonderful spot to anyone looking for a cozy, relaxing getaway!

My 5 year old daughter and I spent a night here and it was absolutely blissful. She woke up and immediately wanted to see the lambs and spend time with a dog wandering around. We will be back as both she and I enjoyed it so much. Charlotte was so kind and even gave me some toothpaste I'd forgotten. Book if you can!

If you’re reading this review and considering making a reservation, stop scrolling, don’t bother looking at other properties and just book Painters Forstal. The house has been there for 478 years at time of writing this and on our trip here we’ve created more life long family memories that add to this incredible historic and amazing home. Thank you Les for being an amazing host and for Karen and Simon for all your support. Together you make what AirBnB experiences are all about.

Sarah’s place was wonderful! We were supremely comfortable and at home, as was our dog. Although in a little complex of 3/4 homes, we were very private and didn’t feel overlooked at all. There were great walks across fields right from the front door and the surrounding area offers plenty to see & do. Definitely recommend this place, especially in the spring!

The stay was wonderful, our host was very welcoming there is nothing to be complained about. A lovely environment and lovely home.

Well what can I say apart from perfect! I booked this to propose to my fiancé due to the coziness, setting and back ground and boy did it not disappoint! The surrounding area is phenomenal and so pretty with all the wildlife right at your door step. The room itself is perfect and you could stay there for days without needing to leave. Tracy has everything you need covered from pots and pans, to cleaning products all the way to fresh milk, butter and jams. If you need anything else shops aren’t too far either. The bath is perfect and one of the most relaxing things I’ve ever been in, the little bathroom is also amazing and far more space than first seems. The shower is lovely too! The bed is very very comfortable and with extra pillows as standard it’s even better. The whole room is decorated perfectly. The hot tub, BBQ and log burners are also a massive benefit and make it the perfect relaxing getaway! Tracy is just amazing and we can’t wait to go back again, you won’t regret it!

We had a perfect weekend stay whilst attending a wedding at Cliffe Church and Cooling Castle. The accommodation was a 5 minute walk to the church and 5 minute drive to Cooling Castle, which was extremely convenient with two small children. The accommodation was beautiful, surprisingly spacious and clean. The parking facilities were great and the accommodation was very easy to find. We would definitely stay again when visiting the local area. Thanks Gabrielle 😊

Second time staying here and another amazing experience. Would go back again

Absolutely magical! Myself, Vicki, and our cockapoo Roly had the most incredible 4-day stay at Toby and Kate’s beautiful pool shed in Kent. This is our third time there! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home — the space is stunning, peaceful, and filled with thoughtful touches that made our stay extra special again. The pool shed really is a hidden gem — beautifully designed, cozy yet spacious, and surrounded by the most tranquil countryside. The pool itself was a total dream, and Roly had the best time exploring the garden and surrounding land (and occasionally stealing the spotlight himself!). Toby and Kate are the perfect hosts: warm, welcoming, and full of local tips. They’ve truly created something magical here — a perfect blend of comfort, charm, and a touch of luxury. We didn’t want to leave, and we’re already planning our return! Five stars just isn’t enough. Thank you for everything Toby and Kate. We look forward to seeing you again soon! Kindest regards xxx

A wonderful place. Chris was very helpful and knowledgeable. Spa facilities were a great way to relax at the end of a day exploring, or a great start to the morning. The kitchen had everything that was needed. The gardens were beautiful. We had a lovely sea view from the balcony, the sunrise was spectacular. Many thanks Chris for a peaceful stay, just what we needed.

We had a couple of problems with our reservations and payment but Ann was super helpful and flexible and we managed to book the cottage in the end. We arrived quite late which wasn’t a problem and the house was easy to find. We had a great stay and can’t say anything negative, really. Very nice recommendations for activities and Ann and Bob were very welcoming! The kids loved the garden and the animals. Thank you for everything! If we are going to be in the area in the future we will stay again.

The Granary is beautiful romantic place to stay. It was very cosy and Cecilia had thought of everything we might need. She has great attention to detail. Everything was excellent quality and Cecilia was a superb host. We would recommend it to anybody. We shall definitely return.

This is a lovely place to stay. The cabin is clean, well equipped and spacious. We all enjoyed relaxing by the wood fire. Communication with Sarissa and check-in was straightforward. We appreciated the folder full of information about the local area and things to do/places to eat.

A real gem in a very peaceful, private, rural location, within easy distance of Rye and many local places of interest. Bridget has created a very special place to stay. Welcoming and beautifully decorated, very clean, well thought through with everything you need to enjoy feeling 'at home' in the Cottage. Very well appointed. Very comfortable bed, large bedroom, wonderful shower, and great kitchen. Wonderful walks for miles from the doorstep with our 2 collies, along public footpaths and through the family farm, with glorious views of the countryside all around. Lots of wildlife and birdsong to enjoy. Highly recommend. We'll be back!

Lovely cottage, very clean, beautifully decorated and spacious. Fully equipped with everything you need for your stay. The area is stunning, you come off the busy motorway to within minutes being in a rural very peaceful setting which was perfect for a short little break away for our family and 2 little dogs. We had some lovely walks and the local pub only a 10 minute walk away was also excellent and very accommodating. My only negative was that the garden was not managed and quite over grown. The weather was lovely and we sat outside for breakfasts so it was a shame that the same attention had not been paid to the outside space, which i do feel is important. This aside Lulu was a great host and we had a fantastic break away, I would definately recommend.

What an amazing stay start to finish. America met us at the gate and showed us around. The accommodation is beautiful. Lora the dog was a lovely welcome guest. Wine tour and tasting was great. America and Nicks passion for what they do is so evident and their wine is delicious. Can’t complain about anything.

Really great stay. The cottage was perfectly situated for a weekend exploring the Kent countryside. Christopher and his family were good hosts and gave us some great recommendations. The cottage was really cute and well appointed. Thanks again!
