    The cottage was very well-equipped and very comfortable. It was delightful to sit and watch the squirrels, ponies and chickens. We also had a couple of late evening visits from the local fox. The owners were incredibly helpful. Useful rail links from Meopham station into Central London and the Kent Coast. An ideal base for exploring Kent. We will definitely return.

    The place was really comfy and spotless with everything you need. The doors overlooked the garden where we saw squirrels and foxes frolicking on the lawn. The horses and dogs also came to visit. It is a great location for getting out and about with lots of National Trust and English Heritage properties to visit. We had wonderful time and will definitely return.

    Very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. An ideal base for exploring North Kent and South London, close to Brands Hatch if you enjoy motor racing. Gary & Lucy are friendly but not intrusive. Their ponies, chickens and dogs also welcome you, particularly if you supply carrots and throw balls. Lots of birds, squirrels and foxes come right up to the property (badgers too but we didn’t see any). Will definitely return.

    Gary and Lucy are the perfect hosts. The property was sparklingly clean with quality furnishing and fittings and they provided us with everything we needed for a wonderful stay over Christmas. (Thank you for our Christmas card!) We especially loved the location, wonderfully secluded, nestled in private grounds, with only the lovely little horses, birds and cheeky squirrels to keep us company, it offered us much needed peace and quiet, absolutely perfect. A bonus was, we knew Gary and Lucy were always on hand for any enquiries, which they answered promptly. We're really looking forward to staying there again next year. Colour us impressed.

Bobby, sometimes accompanied by Jess, visited each morning to have his ball, stick or pine cone, thrown across the lawn, which he duly retrieved and nosed towards you for another go. The accommodation lacked nothing that we could have wanted, and a regular walk through the owners adjoining woodland was much appreciated.

The property

Culverstone Green 2.8 miles.

This delightful, detached lodge is situated in the grounds of the owner's home, close to the village of Culverstone Green in Kent.

Rich in local wildlife and the perfect getaway for animal lovers, the lodge is perfect for getting away from the hustle and bustle of our busy lives whether it's for a romantic weekend for two, or a long holiday with plenty of fresh air and country walks.

You enter through French doors into a light and welcoming sitting room with splendid views over lawn and trees, just the place to snuggle up together and enjoy a film or just relax in each other’s company.

The dining area is perfectly situated so a cosy dinner for two can be unhurried and enjoyed to its fullest while still taking in the vista.

You reach the well-equipped kitchen down one step where there is everything you will need, whether you are creating a delicious dinner with romance in mind, or just a mid-day snack before setting off for a country walk or cycle ride.

From the kitchen you enter into the spacious double bedroom complete with en-suite shower room and French doors out onto your private decked area, perfect for sitting together and planning an exciting day out over morning coffee, or reflecting on a day filled with walks and wildlife over a glass of wine looking into the woods beyond.

Whatever the weather outside, this lodge will be at the perfect temperature, as at the flick of a switch, the warm air changes to air conditioning and the temperature drops, so no need for restless nights’ sleep when the temperature rises.

The owners have taken great care to offer guests as much privacy as possible with carefully positioned screening so only the owner's two friendly dogs may make an uninvited appearance!

With free roaming wildlife, flora and fauna surrounding this lovely lodge and with private woods to walk in, this is a vacation to be enjoyed at any time of the year.
