Beautiful, relaxing and friendly
Myself and my friends stayed here last night as we were working in the area today and all I can say is AMAZING. Tina is very friendly and welcoming. The animals are super friendly and it was beautiful. Roasting marshmallows over the log burner at night while a goat is stood on the table next to us will forever be a core memory for me. The alpacas all sat outside the lodge door waiting for us to come out absolutely melted me. I will definitely be back. Thank you Tina x

Perfect base for visiting local family
We visited in the school holidays to spend time with our family who live nearby. Alpaca lodge is a comfortable and well equipped holiday let and met the needs of our family of 5 (children aged 11-17) and our family and friends who visited on more than one occasion. Tina is a welcoming friendly host. The heated swimming pool was very much appreciated by my boys after a long car journey and to relax and play in during our stay. Meeting and feeding Tina's animals was also very much enjoyed. In the local area we enjoyed a lunch at the Maypole Pub, Tree Trekking at Go Ape Leeds Castle, 9 holes of golf at Upchurch Golf course, Sissinghurst Castle and Gardens and the winery at Biddenden as well as a shopping day at the outlet in Ashford.

A relaxing weekend & unique experience
We had a brilliant weekend at Alpaca lodge. We loved meeting Hector & Pedro. We also had fun playing with the friendly dogs. Tina greeted us with warmth on arrival and immediately took us to meet her Alpacas. The Alpacas were very friendly & inquisitive. Feeding the Alpacas was a really special & unique experience. The lodge itself was clean, warm, comfortable & had everything we needed for a memorable weekend away with friends. We can’t wait to return in the summer & make use of the pool!
