With beautiful countryside surrounding this unique property, there’s plenty of stunning rural walks to embark on and awe-inspiring views to be seen. The local pub and well-stocked farm shop and café are within easy reach, and historic Bodiam Castle can be seen from the carriage, making for a fantastic cultural day out. The nearby market town of Tenterden can be reached via train on the Kent and East Sussex railway, and features a whole array of independent shops, restaurants, and amenities. There are plenty of footpaths and attractions in the surrounding area to keep you busy for your entire holiday.

Accessed via a wooden ramp, you enter the cabin to be greeted by the open plan lounge/kitchen/diner. There is ample space in the lounge for two people to relax after a day of exploration, with comfortable seating, a TV and a wood burner to create a homely atmosphere. The kitchen is compact yet well-appointed, comprising of a gas oven and hob, microwave and fridge/freezer, and there is a dining space situated just off of it. The bedroom is at the opposite end of the cabin, and is a cosy space accessed through a sliding door for privacy. It features a double bed, and there is an en-suite shower plus a separate WC.

The outside space of this property, offering privacy and seclusion, is certainly a major part of its appeal; the covered veranda where there is a ample seating including a comfortable sofa and armchairs. You will also find a large wooden table, two built-in benches, and a table heater, so it’s ideal whatever the weather. The lawn area is tranquil for laying out in the sun, and there is also an unfenced pond to the rear of the cabin.

We stayed at The Lady Stella in Bodiam for our 5th Wedding anniversary. We were very happy with the accommodation and our little dog loved having so much space for walks. The location is great with Hastings and lots of other places easily reachable. We would highly recommend this holiday and will most likely book again.

location was perfect. Local shops are at least 2/3 miles away if you need any bits. Fridge was perfect size and freezer is small but totally adequate for the stay. The farm is beautiful with lots of lovely walks around and other lovely places all within 30 minute drive. Very peaceful place to be

Loved the quirky caravan, in particular the veranda. The site is fab, with The Hub offering delicious food & drink. Issues with hot water while we were there & kitchen had odd assortment of equipment with nothing written on cooker; presumably rubbed off with age. Overall we had a fab time but some minor issues.

If you want a quiet, relaxing holiday Quarry Farm is perfect. The Hub Cafe on site serves great food. The Lady Stella is clean and very comfortable. I went with two dogs but left early because I had not realised there was a six foot drop from the verandah. The fence around it has no chicken wire / netting on it, so one of my dogs tried to jump fromRead more under it. We left early. Would love to go back, but only if the verandahs on Quarry Farm are made safe for small dogs. I hope this can be adressed. Hide
