What Our Guests Are Saying

Excellent!!!!!

Absolutely perfect accommodation, as a lone traveller this was perfect for me very quiet location On arrival I was greeted with a smile and was shown to the beautiful lodge where I found a fully equipped kitchen a beautiful lounge with good WiFi and a huge tv and the bedroom area at the end with a huge double bed ( the really comfortable kind too ) bathroom was behind the kitchen with all usual refinements including hot shower Kitchen had complimentary tea coffeee biscuits etc .....even a beer !

Perfect in every way...

I really, really, REALLY loved this little lodge. It's compact but decked out with everything that anybody could want. Gary was extremely welcoming and helpful; they have a lovely dog too, very friendly. The lodge is set in a quiet location and you'll have your own parking space which is secure and well lit. The lodge is scrupulously clean and warm with adjustable heating. It's well lit and has adjustable blinds that the guest can alter as they choose. The bed was very comfortable and I didn't want to get up this morning, or yesterday morning either. Gary and Jean provided some thoughtful extras in the fridge as well as tea/coffee/sugar. I've never eaten an oyster but, if I decide to, it will be from Whitstable and I'll return to Hollydene Lodge. I don't actually plan to eat an oyster but I do plan to return to Hollydene Lodge, it's amazing and I definitely struck gold! Thank you Gary and Jean. :-D

Fantastic

The accommodation is right next to the beautiful cycle path that goes to Whitstable or Canterbury along the old train line. The accommodation is lovely. I cant recomend it enough.

Great place!

Great location, perfect for a weekend away. Fantastic facilities, including washing machine, oven and fridge. Fresh towels and lovely touch to have milk, tea & coffee. Bed is super comfy! 10 minute drive into city centre. Owners very welcoming and friendly, including Lola the Lab, who greeted us on the driveway :) Will definitely be back! Thank you Gary & Jean

very friendly couple who went out of there way to help nothing was a problem to them

the location was perfect for my needs.the bus stops where a 100 yards away. on our return from Whitstable it was raining the bus driver dropped us at the entrance. the next day the bus driver advised us on which ticket to buy for our needs a family day pass which saved us a fortune in bus fares

Convenient location if you drive, centre of Canterbury and beach is a short drive away, vey cosy

Comfortable, cosy, welcoming host

Jean and Gary extremely nice couple and went out to make our stay very pleasurable

A welcome pack in fridge for our arrival

A chocolate box lodge, with all the home comforts, wonderful.

The location, lodge & hosts were top notch & I would definitely recommend to family & friends. Hope to stay here again in the near future.

Peaceful, secluded, hidden gem.

Great location being 10 minute drive from Whitstable and centre of Canterbury. Gary and Jean were super welcoming and helpful, and went out of their way to make us feel at home. Including having a fridge stocked with a beer and a bottle of prosecco on arrival. The Lodge is well designed, spacious and well equipped. Lovely to eat breakfast on the balcony overlooking the garden. An excellent stay.

Ideally placed between Canterbury and the coast , with good amenities

Lovely location, beautiful cottage, friendly hosts!

Jean’s place is absolutely amazing- the photos do not do it justice! It is so clean, very private and the thoughtful touches were lovely. A little prosecco and beer on arrival with cookies on the side! Jean was so quick with responses and gave us some great local tips. It is just outside of whitstable, but there are buses every 15 minutes and if you have a car its a 5 minute drive. We will definitely be returning and I’ll be recommending to friends! Thank you Jean!

Really lovely little place in the host’s large garden. Very clever use of space inside. Extremely comfy bed! I wish I could have stayed longer. Thank you to the hosts.

Place was cozy and cute. All pictures show it well. Few treats were a nice touch when we arrived. Had a really lovely 2 nights at this fabulous cabin.

Great little place - excellent location, good base for walking.
