“Moments west of Canterbury, Oakside Lodge carves out a quiet retreat, placing well-equipped rooms amid serene woodland. I particularly appreciate the emphasis on locally-sourced ingredients at breakfast, served on a terrace overlooking the property's grounds. It's a family-friendly atmosphere, notably with the resident pigs, Sausage and Bacon, adding to the charm.”
