We had a fantastic time at Woodsell. The location was ideal for our young family and dog. Excellent walks on our doorstep… pubs within walking distance… Faversham only a short drive away. The accommodation was modern, clean and well kept. We enjoyed the outdoor patio space that looked over the fields. The swimming pool was great and allowed us to cool off in the heat! Handy having an EV charger x 2 on site as well as the ‘honesty freezer’ if you couldn’t be bothered cooking! Excellent value for money, thoroughly recommend for a relaxing getaway.

Woodsell is a real hidden treasure. The village is beautiful with a gorgeous looking pub (didnt get chance to visit). The farm and accommodation itself is lovely. Very private and lots of walks around to see all the birds. we would definitely stay again. Thank you Helen and the team

We recently stayed at Woodsell Farm cottages and found it a haven of peace and tranquility with wonderful walks straight from the door. The owners are rewilding the land with incredible care and consideration for the future which is much appreciated when wild areas are under constant threat. The cottages reflect the same care and thought that has gone into the land. Smart and well fitted out with lots of wonderful eco products supplied. We loved the thoughtful additions to make guest feel welcome which were very much appreciated. Then, throw in a couple of good local pubs for good measure and you have everything needed. We left feeling rested and refreshed, returning reluctantly to the clamour of everyday life. Many thanks to Helen and the team who made our stay so good. Kathy and Paul Daulman
