United KingdomThe owner has prepared a magnificent property for all guests to enjoy. He works hard to ensure everyone has an enjoyable stay. The property's location provides great access to Canterbury and the surrounding area without being forced to deal with limited parking and crowds. The owner has prepared suggestions for dinner and how to use the Park & Ride to access Canterbury. I would highly recommend Oakside Lodge to anyone visiting Canterbury and the Dover area. You will not be disappointed.

Host Info
Oakside Lodge is a converted barn into a purpose built guest house accommodation along side its own private extensive oak woodland where they have developed a pig farm providing them with the pleasure of keeping pigs in their natural environment and also giving fantastic tasting meat (sausages and bacon). We have no minimum stay so whether you are booking an overnight stay or a longer holiday break, you are always welcome at Oakside Lodge.
Stuart enjoys running the guest house and meeting people from all different places. Georgiana runs a cleaning company servicing many hotels and knows what it takes to provide outstanding cleanliness along with service. We obviously have daily housekeeping included in the room rate, of exceptional standards. Both Stuart and Georgiana welcome guests to enjoy their bed and breakfast in their beautiful rural settings and pride themselves on their warm, friendly hospitality with onsite daily staff to assist.
Stuart and Georgiana have lived in Upper Harbledown for over ten years and have enjoyed their rural setting although only being less than three miles from Canterbury City Centre. The local Gastro pub/restaurant "The Old Coach and Horses" serves fantastic fresh locally sourced food and is always popular with visitors and locals alike.
