    Time your
    Visit
    Visited with 10 and 8 yr olds who loved it. Just time your visit carefully. Noon lots of animals were nowhere to be seen as asleep in shade on hot day, but later on they were awake awaiting food and much more visible. Talks by keeper were interesting and plenty of shady areas for
    Picnics.

    Lovely riverside walk.
    This lovely walk goes right through Canterbury. We walked out to Chartham and back through marshes and nice countryside. Lots of other destinations, all well signposted.

    Wonderful ride to Whitstable
    Service was excellent, really outstanding!
    The bikes did their job really well, but what really shined was the warmth of the welcome, advices, …
    We rode the crab & winkle way which lead us to Whitstable.
    We were lucky and the weather was wonderful and enjoy both visit and ride as un unforgettable experience!

    Brilliant
    My sister & I really enjoyed the punting. With it being January, we were very lucky with the weather as it stayed dry and was perfect. Marcus was very knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend this experience we will be back. Thank you

    This was the highlight of our city break to Canterbury.
    This punt along the river Stour at Canterbury was stunning. The peace, the scenery, the conversation with our guide...... Perfect.

    The Most Enjoyable Part of My Vacation
    I absolutely loved this river tour! Our guide was excellent and knowledgable, the views were beautiful, and the water of the river stour is so clear. I only wish that the tour were longer, because I enjoyed learning so much about the history of Canterbury and taking in the views along the river. Highly recommend!

    Excellent t
    We camped opposite the golf clu and as non members were allowed to use the club. Very very good service. We also had food and can recommend the fish and chips on a Friday night. Everyone was pleasant and club members made us feel very welcome as did bar staff. Will certainly come back if camping that way

    Amazing Winter Paddle on the River Stour
    A small group of us went on the Winter Paddle in December 2022. It was well organised and a brilliant way to spend a Sunday morning. Elaine and Kate at Canoe Wild were excellent hosts. Wholeheartedly recommend to anyone with a sense of adventure.

    Chestfield golf club excellent day
    Very friendly and helpful staff from pro shop to bar. Course was in excellent conditions, especially bearing in mind recent weather. Green first class, bunkers full of sand and fairways with plenty of grass. Will return.

    Great location but not great value
    Stayed here for one night in a lodge as the hotel was pretty full . Honestly was disappointed with the price (circa £400) as although the lodge was in a nice location and a good size the overall appearance was pretty spartan with wire framed camp type beds and bathrooms that were functional at best - I have stayed at Centerparcs in a better equipped cabin for much cheaper . Think you need to revisit the pricing here Broome Park ......

    Fantastic facilities, Excellent horses, Best riding school.
    This place is amazing, Beautiful yard which is kept spotlessly clean and organised. The horses are exceptionally well turned out and in lovely condition. They have horses for all levels of rider. Absolutely cannot fault it!

    Pathetic
    Being able to contact them would really help. I wanted to use a tandem I gave them but they seem to have run off with it and aren't contactable any more.
