Garden Lodge, Densole

Garden Lodge, only 10 minutes from the Channel Tunnel, is a convenient and comfortable family-run guest house with a Visit Britain Guest Accommodation 4-star rating and guaranteed private parking.

Whether on business or leisure, the Garden Lodge could not be more ideally placed close to Dover (11.2 km/7 miles) and its cruise terminal; Folkestone (6.4 km/4 miles) and the beautiful cathedral city of Canterbury (19.2 km/12 miles).

The Garden Lodge is a very comfortable family home. The rooms and restaurant are well-decorated, very comfortable and with a strict non-smoking policy. The beautiful garden has aviaries, a fish pond and a mosaic tiled, solar heated swimming pool (summer months only) with steps for easy access. The restaurant offers homemade food, often using home-grown vegetables and fruit.

Stay for at least 3-nights and receive a complimentary foot passenger day trip with SeaFrance.

Meals are served in a beautifully decorated room, with patio doors leading into the garden. Warm, friendly atmosphere and service are always offered. There is an excellent menu with a wide range of freshly cooked dishes, with a good choice of vegetarian meals. All cakes and pastries are homemade, and during the summer guests can also enjoy delicious traditional Kentish cream teas, in the garden by the pool. Traditional Sunday lunch is always available either in the beautiful dining room or on the patio. Garden Lodge is not licensed for alcohol, but guests are welcome to bring their own wine, which can be served at no extra charge. Full English breakfast is served from 07:15 every day. Dinner is served from 18:00 until 19:30 every day. Dinner reservations must be made at the time of booking, as the restaurant is open to non-residents and can be very busy.
