About this property

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.

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!

Great little place to stay

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.

Short break with grandchildren

A slightly retro but excellent break. Thoughtfully equipped, torches and tissues, and very clean. Grandsons so enjoyed the whole stay as did we. Stairs are steep but manageable. Wifi challenging as unit needed charging which took a while but resoved eventually by techy grandchild. Pool excellent plus other facilities. May well repeat as a short break.

Nice authentic Danish small house

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.

Sehr ruhiges und gemütliches Frienhaus. Ich würde es nochmal buchen.

Das Haus hat alles was man braucht. Außer vielleicht einem großen Topf, aber das konnten wir mit dem vorhandenen Kochgeschirr gut improvisieren. Die Ganze Ferienanlage ist super schön und ganz ruhig. Außer Vogelgezwitscher und das Rauchen des Windes in den Bäumen hört man fast nichts. Das Schwimmbad ist sehr sauber und groß genug um Bahnen zu schwimmen. Der Tennisplatz ist auch sehr gepflegt. Für Familien mit etwas größeren Kindern ist die Anlage perfekt. Dieses Haus ist vielleicht nicht optimal für Kleinkinder, da sich mitten im Wohnbereich eine offene und recht steile Treppe befindet. Alles in allem würde ich das Haus definitiv weiterempfehlen. Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit dort.

Perfect Holiday Cottage

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.

Kingsdown Feb 23

We stayed at Badger’s retreat for 2 nights during Feb half term. The accommodation was as described and the beds were comfortable. The kids enjoyed the swimming pool on site and also the freedom to go down to the table tennis without an adult (age 10&12) as the site felt very safe. We visited Deal & Dover castle which were both interesting. We also enjoyed a dinner at the Rising Sun. The food was excellent and the kids enjoyed the skittles. Overall a great place for families.

A truly blissful time in Badger Retreat

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

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.

Lovely experience

The property is delightful. The park is well kept and so quiet and peaceful. Plenty to do for the kids including pool and mini golf. The property has everything you need for a comfortable break including towels provided which was very handy. My only complaint is the kitchen has small pans/oven trays which made it harder to feed 5. However we coped and it would not put me off starting again. We had a fabulous week in Badgers retreat and Kingsdown!

Lovely stay!

We had a lovely time here, its a great place with beautiful surroundings and lots and lots to do. We were 2 adults and 2 toddlers and it was perfect little place to stay for our getaway. Our only negative was, it doesn't have free wifi as advertised, it doesn't work so you have to pay which was disappointing. However, we'd definitely stay again!
