    What a wonderful place. The owners are lovely, couldn't do enough for you. Beautiful cabin, comfortable, clean, warm. Log burner was a treat. And the animals! I think ive fallen in love with a goat. What a wonderful experience.

  • Jude Pearson

    We had the best time staying here! Such a great spot - close to Faversham and Whitstable with loads to see and do nearby - and the cabin itself was perfect. Super clean, really comfy beds, a proper hot shower, and a kitchen with everything we needed for family meals.But the real highlight was Ian and Nikki (and their lovely kids!), and all the animals. They made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. Our two kids (and us grown ups) absolutely loved getting stuck into farm life, feeding the chickens, ducks, geese, sheep, pygmy goats and donkeys (all rescues! And all very friendly) and collecting eggs each day. Getting their “Farmer Certificates” from Ian (aka Farmer Willmo) at the end was the icing on the cake and they’re excited to get back to school to tell their teachers and friends about their adventure on the farm.We’ll 100% be back and can’t recommend Lekido enough!

    Lekido is a gem of a place. Couldn’t fault it. Had a truly amazing time away and loved being allowed to get involved with the animals. Ian and Nikki are genuinely lovely people and you can tell they are pillars of the community. We will definitely return. The log fire was the cherry on top.
