About this property

Scandinavian style Lodge

KINGSDOWN HOLIDAY PARK -BADGERS RETREAT no
(NO PETS ALLOWED)

Semi detached lodge set in a stunning location and ideal for families, although NOT SUITED FOR ANYONE WITH MOBILITY ISSUES.

Downstairs the lodge has a single bedroom and the shower room. There is a living area with a TV and DVD player.
This leads to an open plan fully equipped kitchen including a dishwasher. Off the kitchen is a dining room, with a fridge freezer and the washing machine.

The dining room leads out to a secluded garden edged with trees. It has a bistro table and 4 chairs and a washing line.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms, a double and a twin. The twin room has a TV for DVDs
A stair gate is provided upstairs as these lodges do have VERY STEEP STAIRS. IT IS ADVISABLE TO COME DOWN THE STAIRS BACKWARDS. There is also a bed guard available. Upstairs toilet.

To the front of the property is a new decking area with patio table and chairs, plus a bistroset. Also available are 4 sun loungers.

On the Park we have a children’s play area, crazy golf, tennis courts, table tennis and volley ball. These can be booked at reception, with a small fee for equipment hire.

There is a shop attached to reception, selling a few basic items. During the summer we have a mobile van ‘BEAN’ selling drinks, pastries and snacks.

The Park prides itself on the family friendly feel and it is joyous to see children playing safely in such a wonderful location. We also have a launderette with card only payment.

If you decide to leave the park you are 5/10minutes walk from the beach and we have several very good pubs which serve excellent food. Booking is recommended as they are very popular. There are long coastal paths for walking or cycling all the way to Deal. We are also spoiled for castles as we are close to Walmer castle which has stunning gardens, Deal castle and of course just 5 miles from the splendid Dover castle.
HUAWEI Mobile WiFi included

So if you want a holiday in a safe and peaceful place, enjoy the outdoors and everything that nature can offer you then give Kingsdown a try.

The property will be cleaned by a local firm and any feedback is welcomed.

Weekend break

Excellent chalet on a peaceful site with lots of space for the kids to run around. Near enough to walk on the seafront to Deal and back with a few pubs on route. Would definitely stay again. Only complaint is the sign post at the site entrance could be a bit more visible.

It was quite which we loved.

The stairs are very steep so a friend slipped down them on the first day which caused us anxiety for the rest of our stay. Apart from that all was fine.

Excellent hidden gem. PERFECT LOCATION!!! Feels like your outside of the UK.Lovely little accommodation, everything you need - kitchenette, washing machine, dishwasher, fridge and freezer ,2 x toilets and 1shower, cooker microwave, kettle and toaster.Beautiful scenary and lovely neighbours. Could see the sea from our decking!Site feels really secure, security on patrol, lots of families, walking distance from the car to chalet. Wonderful, local pub (The Rising Sun - book!) and the beach is a 5 min walk!Site has a swim pool, tennis court, table tennis, volley ball and mini golf with a play area and small on site shop (equipment available from reception). Must visit the amazing lady at 'The Brew Box' by reception who does tea/coffee and bacon and sausage baps along with pastries daily (am).Local super market about 4 miles away so best if you drive but again perfect location!!!!

Leuk chalet, mooi gelegen, maar douche gevaarlijk (heel heet 50 C) en niet in te stellen. Wifi was slow en onregelmatig. Bedden smal. Mooie omgeving, netjes onderhouden, dichtbij strand. Eetkamer erg klein en donker, met maar twee stoelen.

Comfortable vacation home!

We had a very comfortable stay at Kingsdown. The house was well equipped with the basics. Finding the holiday park was difficult - we passed it a few times before a local showed us the way in! If possible drive through deal to get there instead of the narrow road through Kingsdown. Host was super responsive and helpful!

A beautiful little gem

Myself and my sister booked this chalet for a few days to bring our children to where we used to come with our nan and grandad 20 years ago. Sheila was such a lovely host, the chalet was clean and tidy and the check in process was so easy. The site was exactly how I remembered it, it's very clean and well kept with plenty to do for the kids and such a close walk to the beach. We had the most amazing time. Thank you Sheila!

Kurzaufenthalt

Das Unterkunftsgelände ist sehr schön und gepflegt. Unser Häuschen hatte alles, was man braucht, die Betten sind bequem. Die Küche ist klein, aber ok. Rund um unser Haus hätte mal gewischt werden können. Pub und Strand sind zu Fuss erreichbar. Alles in allem ist es toll.

Lovely stay!

Had a lovely few days at the property. The park is generally quiet anyway but this lodge backs on to the trees at the top of the end of the park, furthest away from the swimming pool, tennis courts etc but not a far walk at all as the site is quite small. Lots of open space for the children to play safely outside (and no vehicle access!). Short walk to the beach. Lodge itself was clean and well equipped with linen, towels and kitchen essentials all included (washing up liquid, soap, anti bac spray, dishwasher tabs etc). Would love to return one day!
