Scandinavian style Lodge
KINGSDOWN HOLIDAY PARK -BADGERS RETREAT (NO PETS ALLOWED)
Semi detached lodge set in a stunning location and ideal for families, although NOT SUITED FOR ANYONE WITH MOBILITY ISSUES, as it has very steep stairs.
WIFI, LINEN AND TOWELS ARE INCLUDED WITH AMPLE PARKING. DAILY ELECTRIC CHARGE NOT INCLUDED Badgers Retreat is set in a lovely quiet corner of the Holiday Park ideal for children to run around and play safely outside
It is a great base for families and travellers who enjoy walking, cycling, nature, history and relaxing.
Kingsdown is also within a short distance from many activities for those who love something a bit more adventurous.
My chalet has everything you need to slow down and relax from books, playing cards and board games or a large selection of DVD's.
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 bistro set. Also available are 4 sun loungers.
On the Park we have an Indoor Swimming Pool 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.
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.

Clean lodge, great communications from the host, everything you need in the kitchen is provided. Quiet location with 3 pubs nearby and close to the beach. Was a pleasant stay
Great communication, directions were spot on and found the place with ease. The property was exactly as described and had everything we needed for our stay.
A perfect 2 night stayGreat for walks along to Deal. Lovely local pubs and onsite facilities. The chalet felt like a much loved places with beautiful touches that made it comfortable and cosy. Everything we could have asked for - with great views of the sea. This would be our choice of place to stay again in this area.
We had a lovely stay, the beach is super close by and the holiday village had lots of activities going on! The cottage was very clean and we were impressed with the well equipped kitchen. Would recommend!
We had a great Easter holiday at the place. The Lodge was lovely, nice and tidy and perfect for our family. The rest of the place was great, with lots of things for adults and kids to do. There's great long walks by the sea that are just down the road, as well as some good pubs with great food.

We really enjoyed the property, our 3 year old son even more so! We had friends also staying at the park, so was perfect, safe and super relaxed!
Property really clean and in good condition. Host was perfect
The cottage is in a pretty holiday park just a few minutes walk from the beach and a couple of nice pubs. Easily accommodated our family of four with a whole bedroom to spare. The stairs are a bit tight, but manageable. A perfect launching point to explore the area or just relax by the cottage.
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.
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!
Nice park mostly near the sea. Great for walking the White Cliffs and visiting the Kent area. Close to Walmer and Dover Castle. Behind our little house we where visited by a couple of foxes. We really enjoyed our stay. On the park it is very nice for kids under 13.
Perfect lodge in a lovely part of Deal over looking the sea.
10 mins to the beach. Great base to explore some of the kent coast.
The owner was lovely and easy to get hold of for a minor issue with the door.

I’m delighted that your stay was enjoyable and that I was able to resolve the issue with the door and thank you for being understanding.
First of all Sheila made the experience so easy and relaxing for us. We had a fantastic time and woke to beautiful sunshine and had a lovely stroll to the beach and the white cliffs, which looked like they’d be recently painted they were shining so bright.
The badger retreat is sublime and so beautiful to stay in.
Big love to Sheila x
