Our four new nature retreats are situated in the newly converted flint stable block. There are two 1-bedroom cottages (2 person) and two 2-bedroom cottages (up to 4 people) of which one is fully accessible. Each cottage has been designed so you can make the most of the tranquillity of Woodsell, the restorative power of nature and the dark skies at night.
They each have a fully equipped kitchen with handmade oak worktops, hotel standard mattresses and natural linen bed covers. With access to superfast Wi-Fi and an internet TV, they make a great base for work and relaxation. They each have their own private patio area with handmade ash furniture which overlooks the landscaped stable yard, planted with wildflowers and wild cherry trees. There are unspoilt views of the Kent Downs in all their glory.
You will also have access to a heated swimming pool in the summer months and are just a short walk from Plough pub in the local village.

‘WOW! Really gorgeous cottage accommodation, in a stunning setting. Cosy, and with everything you need. The heated pool was a real treat too. Stunning bluebells throughout the woods during our visit. A very special place to stay.’

‘Swallow Cottage was delightful for a family stay. Beautifully furnished and cosy in a natural setting. Perfect for birdwatching, being in the natural world and relaxing.‘

‘Woodsell’s nature retreats are a true haven nestled in the astonishing beauty of the Kent downs. After days watching swallows and dragonflies darting around the ponds the team have created across the site, we spent the evenings looking out for barn owls from our cottage’s secluded patio, complete with handmade ash furniture. With a young baby in tow, it was such a treat to enjoy the enormous comfortable bed and the luxurious fully equipped kitchen, not to mention the waterfall shower with its own skylight. Every detail has been carefully considered to create a truly nourishing retreat in the most beautiful surroundings and we can’t wait to come back.‘

Just an hour’s drive from London and less than half an hour from Maidstone, Ashford and Canterbury, it is an easy journey to visit our nature retreats (coming in summer 2025). The farm will offer a quiet space to relax and enjoy the countryside. The site offers dark skies and little noise pollution and gives visitors a chance to relax and become immersed in nature.
