Guests say

Dreamwood Lodge receives high praise for its peaceful location, cleanliness, and comfort. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches, the hot tub, and the property's suitability for dogs and families. The lodge's proximity to London and local amenities, combined with the tranquility of the countryside, makes it a favoured choice for both relaxation and exploration.

Guests consistently mention the lodge's spotless condition and the clean hot tub, indicating a high standard of cleanliness. One minor note on dead flies slightly impacts the score.

The lodge's location is celebrated for its quiet, countryside charm and easy access to London, with nearby walks and amenities. The balance of seclusion and connectivity contributes to its appeal.

Comfort is a highlight, with guests finding the beds very comfortable and the lodge cosy. The mention of underfloor heating and the provision of extra fans for hot days reflect attention to guest comfort.

Facilities are well-received, especially the hot tub and the annex. Some guests suggest improvements like more kitchen utensils and air conditioning, and there's a mention of a loose fence and water pressure issues.

The host's thoughtfulness is evident in the special treats and accessories for pets, eco-friendly toiletries, and festive decorations. While these gestures are highly appreciated, they may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

Dreamwood Lodge is a detached, beautifully renovated and totally unique Victorian Lodge with a separate converted barn/annexe near Keston in Kent. Timber-clad, rustic on the outside with an ultra-modern interior, this gorgeous holiday home ideal for families or friends and set in a conservation Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Sleeping six guests in total and situated along a quiet country lane, the property is perfect for cyclists, as well as being near a medieval Church. Offering a secluded garden which is partially walled, with a 5/6 berth Winnipeg Canadian hot tub, the outdoor space provides somewhere to enjoy the crisp morning air or dinner alfresco. Inside, there are two bedrooms in the main Lodge and the separate converted barn/annexe sleeps another two guests, for that extra bit of privacy, yet still rentable as a complete unit. Keston Village has a Post Office, a food store and a charming café, so you will have everything you need for a relaxed, self-catering stay. If you don’t fancy cooking, treat your loved ones to a meal at the nearby pubs, The Crown or The Jail - Jail Lane, for delicous food and an inviting atmosphere. The fabulous rural setting has woodland walks from the doorstep leading to Keston ponds and common, yet is conveniently within easy reach (2 miles) of Hayes station which has direct trains into central London.

The annual Airshow in June attracts visitors from all over the country and The Memorial Museum is well worth a visit; the outdoor café is a great place to watch small aircraft take off and land!

    If you’re looking for a traditional cottage feel getaway this is it. The lodges were lovely & had everything we needed, was only 25 minutes from our home but felt like we were in another part of the country

  • Amberley

    Loved the hot tub! Only marked down on cleanliness as there were quite a few dead flies around the property on arrival and some of our guests hate bugs. Plus the water pressure was a bit of a pain at times but we appreciated the warning left out to let us know about this and we were able to make it work. Jenny the host was lovely and super accommodating and we’d come back for sure!

  • Kim

    A clean and welcoming environment, a lovely local walk nearby and a short drive from a main high street! Fab stay would go again!
