Property information

If you are looking for a base for walking, cycling, or touring this beautiful part of East Kent, then Willow Tree Lodge is perfect. In the heart of the beautiful Kentish countryside, the picturesque village of Littlebourne is only 4 miles from the historic Cathedral City of Canterbury. This studio style lodge in the owner’s garden, overlooks open countryside and has everything you could want for a cosy, comfortable and relaxing holiday or short break. And, to add to the appeal, the lodge sits on the banks of Little Stour with fabulous views of the crystal clear water, reeds and wildlife including ducks, moorhens, water voles, kingfishers and egrets. The owners keep chickens and so guests will be welcomed with fresh eggs, and fresh bread from the local farm shop.

Neighbourhood information

In a country so abundant in history, it can be tricky to know where to begin. Canterbury has a little of everything, from the Romans through dastardly royals and literary Chaucer. It has diverse architecture, a world-class museum, one of Europe’s best cathedrals and some of the cutest shopping streets in Southern England. And of course, as a university city, it offers great food, drink and nightlife, too, making it well worth a longer stay. All that and the city is just minutes away from the coast and glorious countryside. Whitstable, with its famous oysters is a hike or easy cycle ride and Herne Bay and the Reculver ruins lie a little further east. Meanwhile, strike out into the Kent wilderness for forests, nature reserves and wildlife parks: you can even see the UK’s largest herd of African elephants nearby!
