Woodchurch Safari Lodge

The lodge, the space, the area, the hosts!

–

We had a super brilliant time at the Woodchurch Safari Lodge. It's an amazing glamping experience - all the comforts of home but surrounded by fields and a lovely outside space. Our hosts were really welcoming, friendly and informative, letting us know all the best local spots for wild swimming and walks. We spent our early evenings watching sundown deer playing and looking out for the local owl. Later evenings we sat on the terrace watching shooting stars, had a barbecue and sat around a fire roasting marshmallows. Even our kids were happy to be off-grid at the Woodchurch Safari Lodge! Lit by solar power and firelight, we felt like we were in our own special retreat - back-to-nature yet with lovely comfortable beds and hot shower to hand. We will definitely want to revisit. A big thank you for a wonderful few days!!!

Fantastic stay at the Safari tent, felt like a real break, especially after lock down. Liz and Ally were great hosts and its a brilliant set up, lovely to have your own area and to have toilet and shower to yourselves, all of which were very clean. We did not know this part of Kent , but really enjoyed exploring the local area, sitting in the sun and cooking in the evening. Would definitely recommend.

Comfortable and well kitted out with a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Liz and Ali were very welcoming hosts. Enjoyed our starry nights sitting round the chimnea.

The tent was clean and had everything we needed for BBQ and breakfast. Liz and Ali were great hosts. Also had clean towels and torches and little battery powered lights which were very handy.
The surrounding area is beautiful but can’t really be enjoyed when you’re at the lodge itself.

We expected to have a nice view to enjoy from the front porch, but you’re either looking at a hedge or the bathroom area (shower and porta-loo behind screen) when you’re in the garden or sitting on front porch. Also the garden and tent are directly on a country road and on the Friday evening it was relatively noisy.
Also the cracked ground in the garden (apparently due to dry weather?) was a huge hazzard for our 2 year old.

Great facilities - everything you could want in terms of cooking and cleaning plus even solar power for some lights and charging phones etc.
Comfortable beds/ sofas - proper mattresses and bedding
Lovely hosts - very friendly and helpful
Perfect for families and small groups

Bit of noise from the nearby road - nothing to worry about as it is a quiet road but does slightly detract from the setting when you hear the odd boy racer screaming down there

The view from the lodge was nice and the stars at night

Very disappointed, portaloo, no lighting, couldn't even make a slice of toast as no electricity, busy road☹️

Very good hosts, lovely scenery and plenty to do in neighbouring towns and villages. Private and plenty of space. Had a lively time

All good

Everything
