Entering the Lodge people are always surprised at how spacious it is. It has an airy but cosy sitting room that opens directly onto the garden and adjoins the functional, well-equipped kitchen. There is a pull-out dining table in the sitting room area that easily accommodates four people. The building faces south so the patio is a real sun trap in the summer, and the garden features many shrubs and roses.

The two double bedrooms each have their own bathroom. Being all on one floor the lodge is highly suitable for elderly or disabled guests, and one of the bathrooms has a stepped bath.

The area is very quiet but is close to many amenities and places of interest. The seaside is only 15 minutes away (Camber Sands), as is the lovely historic town of Rye. Canterbury with its magnificent cathedral is a 40 minute drive, and Whitstable, famous for its oysters and buzzing vibe, is the same distance. Shopping at the Ashford Designer Outlet (10 minutes away).

is popular with visitors, and for those who like walking there are plenty of lovely country walks nearby. London is easily accessible by train (40 minutes from Ashford International station) or car (90 minutes). The Channel Tunnel is only 25 minutes from the Lodge, making it convenient for a stopover either going to or coming back from Europe.

There are a number of historic houses within easy reach such as Smallhythe Place (the home of Ellen Terry), Bodiam Castle, Leeds Castle, Batemans (Rudyard Kipling’s home) and Ightham Mote. The Lodge is close to two famous gardens, Sissinghurst (the home of Vita Sackville West) and Great Dixter, the gardens created by Christopher Lloyd.

There are attractions for children, too, including two steam trains from Tenterden and Hythe, the Rare Breeds Centre, Port Lympne zoo, and a water park at Lydd.

Kent is becoming one of the main wine-growing areas of England, and for those who enjoy wine tastings there are three vineyards, Chapel Down, Warehorne Vineyard and Gusborne nearby.

Guests have sole use of the garden on the south side of the house, but please note that it is not secure for dogs as there is an opening at either end. On the north side guests can walk around the pond. The grounds of Leacon Hall itself, entered through two gates, are private and not for guests’ use.
