What a lovely place.Really lovely room with a great shower.Stuart the owner could not have been more helpful, and cooked and served a superb Breakfast every mourning.Highly recommended and will be back.

The owners are a fabulous couple. Stuart, took the time to explain what their arrangements were and the ethics of how they operated, before I had even arrived at the lodge. Nothing was too much trouble and every detail was orchestrated with cheerful and friendly professionalism to ensure our stay would be personally tailored to our needs. The rooms were exactly as they were hoped to be, warm, clean and comfortable and the bed would satisfy the standards of goldilocks. The grounds are tranquil and serene making a forest walk a must and the piggies were pure delight. We were given permission to feed them and Stuart took the time to explain how they were raised in every detail. I might consider having my own sometime down the line.

There was nothing not to like about this property. A beautiful location, close to Canterbury in a country compound.

Stuart and Georgina who run Oakside Lodge have put Upper Harbledown just west of Canterbury on our map. This comfortable accommodation just a 30min drive from Greater London, Folkestone or Dover features well equipped rooms with comfortable beds and ensuite bathrooms. A fairy Oak forest around the building keeps the night silent for good sleep. In the morning breakfast is served on a generous wooden terrace. Home made bacon and sausages and fresh eggs guaranteed. There's a high raising tree house for those who prefer to be somewhat closer to the night sky. Young guests will love to explore the property and meet the two pigs on duty called Sausage and Bacon. Nomen est omen. The pigs may change, the names stay the same. Five bright stars.

We had a lovely stay , the owner let us drop of our bags earlier in the day before the check in time , and he gave us a tour of the property. The room was nice and spacious. Lots of options for breakfast in the morning and was very peaceful sitting out the deck. It's also a great location , as it's only a short drive to canterbury and whitstable .

The shower head needs a bit of a clean but aside from that everything was great.

The location, it was so comfortable. The owner was so good with my food allergies, and it was a really tasty breakfast!

The teabags! Please buy some better quality tea. The noise, some people staying in another of the rooms woke us up talking really loudly at about 6 am on the Sunday morning! I appreciate that’s not within the owners control but it really spoilt that morning. Maybe place some signs around the lodge to say to be respectful of others and remain quiet at night etc?

The surroundings are beautiful, and the location is peaceful and quiet. There are also a couple of very cute pigs! The bed and pillows were so comfy! Stuart is an excellent host and provided delicious hot breakfast. The room was clean and I appreciated the biscuits in the room every morning with my cup of tea! There is also ample free parking.

There was nothing I didn’t like.

Stuart was an excellent host and made me feel very welcome. The accommodation was very good too with a nice size room, a very comfy bed and a decent bathroom. It was nice to have plenty of parking out front so there are definitely no worries there.

Nothing at all; it might be wise to check Google maps to to make sure you know the best way to go as the route can be a little tricky or unintuitive (i.e. if you need to head south east on the A2 toward Dover you can either go through Canterbury or head back up the A2 and come back on yourself which can be quicker. Again no issue but worth knowing).

We arrived slightly early to be met by Stuart. He was very, very welcoming and didn't mind us being early. We had a choice of rooms. being disabled and being offered a walk in shower was fantastic, The room was clean, bright and very clean, with views onto lots of land. The road was close, but not loud. Stuart explained about the breakfast times and the breakfast room, as well as about the land and animals that we were able to see, AM. breakfast a lovely choice of cereals juice, cooked breakfast - Good bacon, meaty sausage, eggs ( scrambled for me) perfect. beans, tomato mushrooms and toast, plentiful and quality - perfect. Walking round the grounds there is a tree house you can book into. FREE parking. and pretty flat. And a space to sit, while knitting,

Wish we had a longer stay,,,, next time,

Oak side Lodge was a beautiful place to stay situated just outside Canterbury City centre. It felt very family friendly and welcoming. The room felt private but still had plenty of windows for ventilation and a fan. The bathroom was spacious and well laid out, and the owners were kind and excellent cooks.

The tub in our room could use a scrub down. There were some slimy soap residue on the edge of the tub under the pumps we had to wipe with a baby wipe to clean.

Loved the location. Very quiet and peaceful. Ample safe parking available. Close enough to Canterbury city centre to take up the buzz of what is on offer. The two old spot pigs on the edge of the wood were delightful. Although I didn't get the chance to take a walk the woodland area looked perfect for a walk. The tree house rooms looked tempting as an alternative night away. My room was clean and comfortable with a lovely shower. Even though it was hot the room was deceptively cool. Loved the idea of the honesty bar. Serve yourself and note down what you had taken for payment to the host. Excellent. The host is really attentive with nothing too much trouble to make make your stay a memorable one. We'll done Stuart.

What's not to like? The only thing that was missing from the room on a very hot day was a small fridge, just saying, not a criticism.
