We have some exciting news to announce 🥁🥁🥁

The Cart Stable has been awarded the ‘Best Rustic Boutique Retreat - Kent’ in LUX-life Magazine’s ‘Resorts & Retreats Awards 2025’!! 🍾🎉🥳

This recognition comes 7yrs since we first opened The Cart Stable doors to all our wonderful guests, who have all enjoyed a memorable stay with us, many who we can now call friends 🫶🏻

In fact, it was 7yrs ago today that our first ever guests checked out and left the first ever comment in our first ever guest book ❤️ Who would’ve thought that 7yrs later we’d be one of Airbnb’s highest rated accommodations and also receiving accolades such as this?!

Thanks again to everyone who has visited our little cottage and made this possible, and because of you we’ll carry on just doing what we love doing 🫶🏻💞

Our ‘Cart Stablers’ have been enjoying lovely walks and woodland exploring right from our doorstep, but there’s one piece of local history we doubt any of them have stumbled across in the woods and that’s ‘Holly Hill Tower’. This is a late 19th century belvedere (or ‘folly’) built by the Dawes family to watch their ships ⛵️ approaching London down the estuary.

It’s now a little bedraggled but it still stands in Blean Wood behind us, very well hidden off the beaten track by the trees and shrubs.

We challenge you to ‘Find the Folly’ and take a picture 📸 to prove you were there. We’ll point you in the general direction but then you’re on your own… it’s hard but maybe a little easier in March before the trees shoot their leaves 🌳🌳

Book your stay and have some springtime outdoor exploring fun …and wellies still required!

We would like to congratulate the amazing for receiving the recognition for all his hard work and creativity in the kitchen by winning “Chef of the Year” at the Kent & Medway Food and Drink Awards 2025…. woohooo!! 🍾🎉👨🏼‍🍳🏆 🥳

It’s no surprise as we’ve been enjoying the delicious food for the last 6yrs, but who would’ve thought that in the space of 10months our little local gastro pub The Dove Dargate would be boasting Kent’s best chef on top of their Muddy Stilettos - Kent award for Kent’s “Best Destination Pub” 🙌🏼

So now there’s even more reason to treat yourself and your loved one to a springtime getaway in our tranquil woodland setting… our top rated Airbnb + an award winning ‘best destination’ gastro pub + Kent’s official best chef!! 👨🏼‍🍳

Book your stay, and book 🫶🏻

If you’re a wine and port connoisseur🍷🍷 have we found the place for you, and a perfect excuse for a Cart Stable getaway!

We spent a wonderful evening at portowinebar in Whitstable, a small but perfectly formed wine bar which boasts an extensive wine list, specialising in Portuguese 🇵🇹 wines and ports.

The menu consists of a variety of delicious Portuguese ‘pestico’ snacks including olives🫒 toasties🥪 prawns 🍤 skewers🍡 cheeses🧀 breads🥖 pâté and cured meats🥓.

The highlight of the night was our flights of port, and of course we tried each flight - white, tawny, ruby and vintage ports 🍷🤪

The owners and staff provided attentive service and were highly knowledgeable about the wines and ports.

This place is a perfect addition to Whitstable’s scene of bijou and stylish independent business’ and we highly recommend a visit to round off your day visiting our local harbour town, but don’t forget to book!

We have availability through the remainder of November and December to relax and recharge before the mad rush of the festive season, so book now for an early Christmas 🎄🎅🏻 present to yourselves.

If you fancy a refreshing walk along the beach one of the best places to head to is Dumpton Gap. This is just 25minutes drive from us and from there you can walk north towards Broadstairs, or as we did the other day we headed south to the old ferry ⛴️ town of Ramsgate.

Ramsgate has one of the largest marina’s on the south coast, and overlooking it are plenty of shops, bars and restaurants to enjoy. While here you can also explore Ramsgate’s tunnel system that was used to shelter 60,000 people during WWII.

You need to time your walk right with the tide times as at high tide the beach route is completely cut off closer to Dumpton Gap… but there are quite a few hours once high tide starts to subside before you need to worry about getting your feet wet! 😆

We still have availability to the end of the year, so book your stay and enjoy some bracing walks along the Kent coast.

As we approach November and the last couple of months of the year, we imagine quite a few of you are wondering how to juggle just a few days of annual holiday remaining to get that desired Cart Stable getaway in with your loved one 💞

Well we have something that will help you! 🤗 With immediate effect we’ve reduced our minimum stay from 3-nights to 2-nights through autumn and winter until 31st March 2025. 🙌🏼 🥳

So now you can finish work (early 🤣) on a Friday and enjoy a weekend stay without taking time off work. Or how about a midweek escape to take just a couple of days away from the grind of work to recharge the batteries?

Sounds ideal? Booking is just a few simple clicks away!
