Canterbury Lodges and Glamping

View prices & book 10 6 reviews

Luxurious glamping site in a Kent village 10 minutes from Canterbury
Howletts Wild Animal Park a 15-minute drive; Dover Castle 25 minutes
Private showers, kitchens and gardens; pub and shops 10 minutes’ walk

Tucked into Kent countryside in the lovely village of Littlebourne, Canterbury Lodges and Glamping has a real rural vibe about it and yet is only a ten-minute drive from the historic city of Canterbury. So you have the best of both worlds – town and country – staying here, plus the chance to make friends with cute pygmy goats and chirpy chicks. The three-acre glamping site is a quiet, rural setting, sheltered by trees so the luxurious accommodation units are well secluded from each other. All come with private bathrooms with showers, a camping kitchen with all essentials provided, and a spacious private garden area with firepits and a charcoal-fired barbecue. Feel free to bring your own firewood or buy it on site for a small charge per bag. Littlebourne village (10 minutes’ walk) has all sorts of handy amenities, including a local shop for replenishing supplies, a large village green and outdoor play area for the kids and a pub for the adults. If you want to ditch the car and still explore coastal towns such as Whitstable, Broadstairs and Sandwich, there is a bus stop close by.

Shepherd's hut (hot tub, private bathroom amenities)

Liked: From the moment we arrived we were greeted by thr host and were immediately made to feel welcome. The sheppards hut was warmed up and hot tub ready to go. Everything in the sheppards hut was thought of including a welcome bowl of fresh eggs from the chickens over the hedge.

Disliked: That we could only book 2 nights we wanted to stay longer.

Bell tent

Liked: We booked this for a quiet retreat and found it to be a very good location. We loved the fire pit as it kept the sept chills away in the evening looking at the stars. All facilities toilets and shower block a short walk we stayed in the bell tent and bed very comfy my wife is disabled and facilities were good. We loved the goats and chickens. we loved our time there and was sorry when it ended. Look forward to a return visit sometime.

Disliked: As wife was disabled one thing we really missed was a small low table to be able to put our essentials on. It only needed to be small folding table which could be stored under the bed for those people that don't need a small table. It would have helped my wife.

Shepherd's hut (hot tub, private bathroom amenities)

Liked: Myself and my husband both had such a lovely relaxing time staying in the Sheppard's hut. Its a very beautiful rural area and the site itself is lovely and small and the owners were very friendly and welcoming, fresh farm eggs were a bonus. The Sheppard's hut was lovely and clean and very cosy and of course the hot tub was amazing and we certainly made the most of it. The hut was sat next to a goats pen, which I absolutely loved waking up and going to give them a little scratch in the mornings. You get your own private shower room which is just a short distance from the hut. Overall myself and my husband had a lovely time and will definitely be staying here again

Disliked: absolutely nothing
