The Stable
St Margarets at Cliffe

Set within a beautifully converted barn on a private Kentish farm, The Stable is one of five thoughtfully styled cottages tucked away in this serene, green corner of St Margaret’s-at-Cliffe. Travel down the long, hedge-lined driveway and you arrive at a farm with roots in the 1800s, once known as “Britain’s Frontline Farm”. No longer worked, it’s now lovingly restored and cared for by the same family who’ve held it for generations.

Contemporary interiors meet rustic character in The Stable, with calming tones and soft textures making a warm, relaxed space to come back to after a day on the coast. A light-filled open-plan living area sits at its heart, with comfy sofas for slow evenings in. Cook together in the fully equipped kitchen, gather round the large dining table, or step outside for al fresco suppers overlooking the courtyard. Upstairs, two tranquil bedrooms – a double and a twin – are dressed in crisp white linen, with gentle lighting and countryside views. Beyond the windows, horses graze the fields and birdsong does the rest. Beyond the lavender-edged door: there’s no private garden, but your front looks over a manicured courtyard with your own outdoor seating, plus a covered communal barn for shared al fresco dining and private parking on site. A path leads straight into the woodland and on to the famous White Cliffs, with South Foreland Lighthouse and St Margaret’s Bay both a short walk away.

The Stable is made for slow mornings, days of coastal exploring, and quiet nights under big country skies.
