About this property

An intimate country retreat exclusive for adults only and small hen parties. Use of a luxury spa including an indoor heated pool, gym and tennis court. In an enviable position with access to rolling countryside and close to the coast.

Set in a tranquil setting on the hill above the Alkham valley, situated in the triangle between Canterbury, Folkestone and Dover you will find this beautiful cottage.

The converted lodge is set beside an equine estate and next door to an active livery. The lodge is created exclusively for adults looking for an unforgettable escape with extensive leisure facilities to enjoy. It overlooks beautiful gardens with duck ponds and wildlife. Great Everden is renowned for its stunning sunrises and sunsets.

The estate is surrounded by fantastic bridleways, footpaths and country lanes. It is perfect for those wishing to borrow a bike and cycle around the pathways, or for the keen walkers wishing to explore the countryside or maybe a gentle stroll to take in the scenery.

The lodge provides contemporary accommodation with furnishings that provide a warm atmosphere for the holidaymakers. Perfect for a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and as a base for friends to explore - with both the countryside and the coast nearby. The open plan space is well equipped to sleep up to four adults in two bedrooms, with the possibility of using the sofa bed as an extra bed should all 4 guests require their own sleeping arrangements.

The amazing facilities are just a few steps from the lodge which include a shared indoor swimming pool with hot tub, a full size gym, tennis courts, changing rooms, a pool table and entertainment space with BBQ.

By appointment only, beauty and therapy treatments, personal trainer/gym instructor and horse riding lessons/hacks can be arranged for guests prior to arrival (a min. of 48 hrs notice if possible). Ideal for pamper parties/hen weekends and team-building groups. In addition, shooting, fishing parties and tennis lessons can be arranged too.

The spa facilities may be shared with the neighbouring cottage.

    This was the perfect setting for our short break, we wish we could have stayed longer and we will do next time. Our hosts were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed exclusive use of the wonderfull indoor pool and leisure facilities and felt well looked after. A rare treat.

    Had a really marvellous break here in August (the rainy season!). The accommodation is excellent, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Really appreciated the welcome gift of groceries when we arrived, think that was such a nice touch. We loved having the use of the indoor pool, gym and snooker table. In fact they saved us, since it really did rain an extraordinary amount, even for an English summer! I think what makes Pips Lodge such a great place to stay though is the terrific hospitality and friendly welcome shown by the owners, Karen and Paul. They were a pleasure to meet, and made us feel very at home. Pips Lodge is in a beautiful part of Kent, and the quiet and peaceful location with plenty of walks suited us, and Lola (our Labrardor) down to the ground. A lovely place to stay and we have recommended it to all our friends. Tania, Harry, Emily and Lola England
