We felt very comfortable during our week-long stay. The lodge is cozy and stylishly decorated. The cottage park is very well maintained, the staff very friendly. The location offers a lot of possibilities (hiking, sightseeing, swimming, ...).
Recommended for families and couples!

Beautiful location, family friendly site and lovely chalet!
We had such a lovely, relaxing stay at this wonderful holiday park. The chalet was well equipped and it was a real bonus that there were cleaning products, salt and pepper, picnic crockery and a wide variety of cooking utensils and things that make self-catering much easier and more enjoyable. We had BBQs on the decking looking out over a lovely green area, played tennis, mini golf and swam and there was plenty of room to chase the kids around too on the site!
We received a towel change mid-stay which was great and Andrew was very helpful with any questions we had before our stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay at the chalet again because it was such a good experience. Thank you!

Stair gate at top of stairs hanging off on arrival screw come out at bottom. ( not an issue for us as we have older children) wooden chair on bk porch un-usable back broken/rotted away (not an issue for us, plenty of other chairs out there)
blinds at front door / main entrance don't close. (No big deal -thought u should know )
Lovely little chalet everything u voted want is there.
Park itself is excellent and the staff are very friendly, beach 5 - 10 min walk away, (gravel beach - this was a massive + for us as my youngest has a respiratory disease and can not go on sand so to give him the chance to exsperience the beach/sea for the first time in his life at the age of 10 was just wonderful.
Plenty of nice places to eat in area but book early getting a table can be challenging.
If your looking for something a bit upmarket the coach and horses is very very nice.
Great holiday

Excellent, owners were very helpful, easy to get hold of and forward emails with regards to the social club arranged events. We have kids of 3 and 5 who thoroughly enjoyed the week and were sad to leave.

We had a wonderful week at the property. Everything you could possibly need to make the stay as easy as possible with added extras for the children to enjoy. The park was very well run and safe. We would absolutely (and have already!) recommend the property and will be coming back. Andrew was especially helpful with providing all the information we needed but the reality is that it was exactly as advertised and hoped so we really didn’t need anything. Thanks again.

We had a lovely, relaxing stay at Driftwood Lodge. The lodge was clean, comfortable and had everything that we needed. The owners left us a few basic provisions for when we arrived which was a nice touch. The amenities on the holiday park were good too. There are three pubs serving food within a 5 minute walk of the lodge and one is right on the seafront. There is a lovely, flat walk (away from the cars) along the seafront into nearby Walmer and Deal (2-3miles) where there are many more places to eat. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Fantastic site and location
We have just returned from a fantastic stay at this property.
Upon arrival we checked in and found our chalet with ease .
It is a great size has plenty of things that make you feel like it's a home away from home.
The children were able to ride around the site on bikes without the worry of cars.
Lots of things to do on site but in a great location to go off exploring.
Would highly recommend.
Thanks so much

Late Summer Weekend at Kingsdown
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The chalet was decorated and furnished to a high standard. It felt very homely and the children loved the bunk bed and decoration in their room. The kitchen was really well equipped. I appreciated the attention to detail the owners gave in their communication. Thank you so much. This is the 3rd time we have stayed in the holiday park and we hope to come back soon.

Great place to stay!!
We had a great time at Driftwood Lodge.
Kingswood Holiday Park was lovely it was quiet, clean and very pretty. The lodge was warm and cozy. Really bright and fresh. It had everything you could need and more. There were games for the kids and DVDs which was a lovely surprise. Everything was spotless and clean.
The area is gorgeous. The beach was a very short walk away and its a pleasant walk along the coast to Deal.
My son left his IPad there and the owners spent a lot of time searching for it in the awkward place it had been hidden in. They were really great about it.
We were 2 families of 4 and we all agreed it was great and would highly recommend.

A very relaxing and enjoyable stay

Kingsdown
Mooi locatie, cottages zijn klein en compact maar wel leuk. Omgeving is prachtige.
Deal is een prachtige dorp en is heel dicht bij. London is 2 uur rijden.
Benzine auto's met aanhangwagens zijn minder geschikt door de hoge bergen en scherpbochten op een helling.

Driftwood Lodge - Clean, tidy and well appointed!
We enjoyed a wonderful family holiday in this charming lodge. The owners had considered everything to make a family holiday stress free - there was nothing missing. The lodge is in a good position on the park which is a safe area for children and only a few minutes from the beach. The swimming pool on the park was not open during our stay but this made no difference to our holiday as we used the Leisure Centre pool which was only 10 minutes away in Deal. This pool had slides, tubes etc., which appealed to the children. There are lots of local attractions all within a short driving distance. Our grandchildren ranged in age from 6-15 and we found something to keep everyone happy. We would have no hesitation in booking Driftwood Lodge for future family holidays and would highly recommend it to others.

Lovely chalet for family holiday
We stayed in this chalet for a week in July, with our two kids (4 and 2 years old). Location was very convenient for us, because only a 15 min drive from Dover, were we arrived by ferry. It is a great place for a family holiday. Lots of space around the house for the kids to play. Also a nice little playground and a (cobble stone) beach within walking distance. There are also a couple of pubs nearby, one is even on the beach. The chalet is small, but well equipped and cosy. I would recommend this place to couples and families with (1 or 2) small kids.

The chalet location was perfect with the open space at the back of it. The rooms were of good size and comfortable. The bunk bed was a hit. Had a good stay. Thanks

A charming lodge, full of character, well laid out inside and in a perfect setting. .
We thought everything had been thought of to make our stay special, from the little note to welcome us and the pack of groceries, which was a lovely gesture. May I take the time to say how clean every thing was, from bed-linen, towels, shower, toilets, such a high standard. The lodge itself felt warm and homely, great for coming back to after a day on the beach. We spent some time in Deal, shopping and eating, great fish and chips, walked along the cliff paths, lovely views out to sea, used the indoor pool too. All in all there was something for everyone, as our age range is between 13 - 64 years. Yes, we would definitely like to spend another holiday here! Thanks once again Keith/Andrew and Christine.

Erholsamer Familienurlaub
Wir haben wunderbar erholsame Tage in der Driftwood Lodge verbracht, die wir sehr genossen haben. Wir waren ohne Auto da, war aber kein Problem. Der Bus fährt in Laufweite und wir haben spannende Ausflüge gemacht.

Lovely, clean chalet on great park for families
We've stayed in Driftwood Lodge twice and will definitely be back again soon. It's a great little chalet that works well for two families (four adults, two children), it has everything you need, it's well kept, clean and there's nothing better than watching the kids run around on the acres of grass while us weary parents relax on the terrace.
Kingsdown Holiday Park has tons to do for families (heated indoor pool, beach volleyball, crazy golf, tennis court, and tons of space for children to play safely in) and Kingsdown itself is a wonderful location, with the lovely Zetland Arms pub a five-minute walk away on the beach and a great beachfront walk into Deal. If you're looking for an easy, good value weekend with kids, I'd definitely recommend this chalet.
