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.

Jenny, who was an excellent host, paid attention to every minute detail across the lodge and was quick to respond for any minor hiccups. The beds were extremely comfortable. It took us 45 mins to commute from London. I would definitely book again and will highly recommend.

Beautiful English countryside surroundings and we did a wine tasting close by which was lovely. Comfortable stay, great set up for everything and the place was really cosy warm. Hot tub great too! I left a dress and top hanging in the wardrobe which were very kindly posted to me very quickly so thank you so much for that. Above and beyond.

There's plenty of space and the separate annex allows for privacy if travelling with friends or colleagues, as we did. We parked three cars on the drive and with some juggling could get a fourth if necessary. We didn't actually use the hot-tub but the views across the valley are lovely and when the weather was nice we sat out and enjoyed the setting sun. Communication with Jen, the owner, was excellent from the moment we booked and we were able to ask any questions with quick responses. I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable retreat.
