Port Lympne Mansion Hotel

Excellent overnight stay with our children. We could hear the lions braying whilst toasting marshmallows (in our room upon arrival) and from our cabin. It was such a beautiful sensory experience which I'm such felt truly magical for our little ones.

Do love this place.Needs a little care to make it amazing,i.e lights in our lodge didnt work.Also the safari was shorter than when we came 2 years ago,last time was a hour tour but this time was 40 minutes,felt a bit rushed at times.Breakfast was lovely and couldnt fault the waitresses in the garden room.

Fantastic place - incredible staff and great food. Really worth a trip with your family, the kids and adults loved it all the same! The pinewood accommodation is right next to the lion enclosure, and you can hear them roaring through the night. It's a super unique experience for a family, and a great weekend away.

My partner and I spent two truly magical nights and three full days in this incredible nature reserve. The animals are clearly well looked after and have plenty of space to roam, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We stayed at Pinewood, and the accommodation was cosy and peaceful—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Everyone we met, from the staff in the park to those working in the restaurants and cafés, was warm, friendly, and welcoming. We also visited Howletts Wild Animal Park, which was equally lovely and a great way to round off our trip. We’ll definitely be coming back soon.

My youngest daughter and I stayed in the Winston Churchill bedroom for one night on a special Dad and Daughter trip and had a brilliant time. Winston our ranger was knowledgable and passionate in equal measure, all of the staff in the Mansion and Garden Room restaurant were superb, especially with our 7 year old. The room was great with spectacular views out to the English Channel. A golf cart came with the room and was super useful as it was hot. We spent lots of time watching the Gorillas, Tigers, Rhinos, Monkeys and Grizzly Bears! Just watch out for the experience booking system - it defaults to next available dates, which isn’t helpful when they were the same as our dates (but in two months time!) - thankfully Lisa in Concierge was brilliant and worked it out quickly. Overall, fantastic experience and would highly recommend! Sleep quality 4 out of 5 only because the monkeys woke us up at 630! Which was actually pretty fun!

A once in a lifetime trip for our little family and it didn't disappoint. We found the accommodation perfect for our 2 year old.
