Kent Self Catering cottage, Groove Armada, Kingsdown, sleeps 6

Great chalet but no pool and constant building works
This is a fabulous chalet at Kingsdown Holiday Park. Certainly one of the nicest there, from what we could see. Being a detached unit and not having the recessed patio/deck outside made the internal space a lot bigger. The facilities provided were better than expected and it was a very comfortable chalet for 5 of us staying. Just one small issue with the kitchen - there wasn?t enough cupboard space to put all of our shopping for the week so had to leave a lot of it in boxes on the floor (maybe other people don't get a whole week's shopping for 5 people in one go?) But the reason for only 3 stars was the constant building work just a few feet from the bedroom window and the swimming pool was out of action and had been for many months. We were not told about either of these things and the pool was a major deciding factor for choosing this holiday park. As for the builders, they started at 8am precisely every day and could be heard even with the windows closed. At least we didn?t need an alarm clock.

Beatiful place, but BUILDING WORK!
Loved the chalet. It's really nicely decorated, it has everything you need. The area is beautiful and plenty to do. It's one a few bigger lodges on the site, in a nice spot with a sea view. Comfy beds and comfy sofas. Everything is clean and pretty. BUT, it's been spoilt quite a bit by the building work going on right at the back door. I had a chat to a workman who was a couple of feet outside the back door as one of his friends had woken me up! He was very pleasant! But he confirmed that there will be work going on from 8am every day. No pneumatics drills until 10am, but they will be working 8-5 every day.and you will see and hear them, even inside with doors and windows shut. If you want a place that is peaceful and quiet during the day, this isn't it. At least not until the work is over later in the summer, In the evenings after the yellow coat men have left, there's a table and chairs with a lovely view of the sea and it's very peaceful. No cars on site, you need to park at reception, so no sound of traffic at all. Some lovely pubs nearby doing good food and the beach is a 5min walk down a hill. There's a smart tv, we watched a film on amazon one rainy evening, Lots of dvds and books too. The reception and pool are only open until 5pm. I think the same is true of all other facilities on site. There's also tennis, crazy golf and volleyball. If you want activities, there's a park nearby with cycle hire and a military fitness thing you can book onto. There are riding schools nearby that cater for beginners, you can do a pleasure ride. There's a couple of surf schools in Broadstairs and one also does kayaking and paddle boarding.

Outstanding
This must be the best chalet in Kingsdown. Completely immaculate, charmingly decorated, fantastically located for views/sunshine and a complete home from home experience. This holiday let has so many appealing features including but not limited to: large sunny decking areas, plenty of comfortable seating options, dishwasher, washing machine, underfloor bathroom heating, tv/DVD player, Bluetooth speaker, hairdryer, fluffy towels, comfortable beds, easy to work heaters, games, rackets, 2 loos! On top of all of this, the owner is friendly and seems genuinely interested in her guests having a great time and all they need. In case you haven't guessed by now...highly recommended!

The lodge was fantastic, We really enjoyed the laid back feel of the site. A really relaxing safe environment for the children and ourselves.
