Lovely setting. The host was warm and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend the full English breakfast.
United KingdomThe family run guest house was perfect. the family was an attentive, but not intrusive. The environment was a true escape from the hustle and bustle. breakfast was genuinely nice. it was a little hard to find but took the NO’3 bus got off at the flyover and walked back turning left and up a short pathway - there it was - Aldolic litter farmhouse and woods. the walk to the city was worth while from there too.

United KingdomOwner very friendly, approachable and trustworthy, easy to access alcoholic beverages, great breakfast, very good all round
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

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.
