An amazing place to visit and one of England's top castles for sure. The castle complex is huge with the keep offering impressive views of the whole town of Dover and to the French coastline. Easily 3+ hours of things to see. One of the most impressive I found were the Roman lighthouse and medieval church which underline the significance of the site. Also has very interesting WW2 history with a fascinating tour of the tunnels in which the Dunkirk evacuation was planned.

You can easily spend a whole day here - the castle grounds are massive and there’s a lot to see. The tower can be done quite quickly as there’s actually not much to see inside and the interior is very dated but worth it to climb to the top and see the great views. Definitely recommend doing the war tunnel tour - very interesting and very well put together.

Great place for kids. Castle itself is not wheelchair or pushchair friendly and there are lots of steps in the castle to get to rooms and top of the castle. They have got handrails. The rest of the grounds have paths. The tunnels are pushchair and wheelcahir friendly as long as your prepared to push them back up the hills. Had great story telling show for the kids in the castle. Stunning views from the tip of the castle. Staff super friendly.

A beautiful historic location with plenty to do and see for a whole day out. Suitable for families. Plenty of parking. Good visitor centre with information. A good restaurant with good choices of hot and cold food and drink. Very picturesque. Staff very friendly and informative. Wet particularly enjoyed the mini show with the king and his son in the main throne room.

Really must visit this! So much to see and we only had two hours. Enthusiastic and super-friendly staff, impressive and well-kept collection. And apart from all that: the views over the harbour and the sea are absolutely stunning!

Dive into history and the gorgeous sites here in Dover. There is ample parking and walkways that are nice if you are pushing a pram. My "big kid" really enjoyed the tunnel tour while my 9 & 16yr old enjoyed exploring the medieval castle and grounds. We spent easily 2.5hrs but could have spent longer here. If you are an English Heritage member, there is also a cottage on the castle grounds that you can rent. Prices are on the website.

This is simple one of the best Castle I've visited, vastly huge and impressive a full day is required. The war tunnels are a must the Dunkirk exhibition is truly emotional. The views from the top of the tower are spectacular. Car parking on site, has a couple of cafes / shops. The role this castle has played in our history is amazing

One of best castle to visit in England - wonderful kept and fully of history. The tunnels are great - but I recommend making them the first things you do as the queues can get rather long. Defiantly allow yourself a whole day there to see everything - we arrived when it opened and lefts just before closing and I'm still not sure if we saw everything. Loads of parking and great for kids.

I love Dover Castle, it is beyond fantastic So many pivotal pieces of history happened here. You can spend an entire day exploring the premises, walking around and learning. Incredibly views, wonderful staff. A great day out for all ages. The price is quite steep but given the vastness, can't really complain! I believe you can get 10% off if you buy the day before online, so would recommend doing this!

Beautiful place perfect for a family dayout. The view from top is just spectacular. The castle, up and downhill walk around the garden is fun will keep everyone active all day. The staff are very kind and helpful. They will help you plan the route if you're not sure where to start or if it your first time. Overall, the visit was great. Children had fun all the time. The Castle is a must visit place.

I recently visited Dover Castle, managed by the National Trust in England, and it was an incredible experience. The highlight for me was the immersive journey into history at the war rooms, where you could almost feel the past come to life. The breathtaking views from the castle are simply awe-inspiring. The white cliffs of Dover, the English Channel, and the serene landscape create a picture-perfect setting that's not to be missed. However, I must mention that the parking situation was a bit inconvenient. Despite parking being available, we were directed to park outside the castle, which required at least a 20-minute walk, and this was quite challenging with young kids and a buggy. The gravelly and hilly path added to the difficulty. On the positive side, the history within the castle walls is incredibly rich, and the maintenance of the site is top-notch. The tickets were reasonably priced for the value you receive, making it accessible to a wide range of visitors. Be prepared for a lot of walking as exploring the castle and its surroundings can easily take 4 to 6 hours. I would highly recommend carrying water and snacks to keep energy levels up as you delve into this historic gem. Despite the parking hiccup, Dover Castle is a must-visit for history enthusiasts and those seeking stunning views of the English coastline.

Absolutely loved my day at Dover Castle! The tower was my favourite with some amazing views at the top. The underground hospital tour was surprisingly entertaining, really well done, I felt I went back in time. I only regret the medieval Tunnels were closed to the public.

A must visit. Massive place with lots of different periods of history. Medieval tunnels are shut until summer 2024. We really enjoyed the great tower and looking through all the rooms. Great views of Dover. The church was nice too. Great place for people of all ages. Can be very windy.

A massive place, so allow I’d say half a day of not all of it to visit. Tunnels are fab and views from the top of the tower are great. Cafe serves half decent food but overpriced as always at these places. Picnic is probably a better option if there a few of you. Negative points for me is the bad signage and the lack of information boards to tell you what things are. Also the amount of distance you have to walk just to get to a toilet! Also the rudeness of some of the staff here is a disgrace! The woman in the shop next to the war tunnels has a bad attitude and would not show my daughter where the magnets were when asked! I wasn’t allowed in the shop due to not having my mask and she couldn’t even be polite about that! Also, if you’re going to enforce mask wearing then at least tell your staff to put their masks right over their face instead of just under their noses. One rule for all not just for us!! I’m not an anti masker, I forgot it. Other then the negatives, I would visit again and allow myself more time to explore.

I was expecting just a castle but it actually has quite a bit more which surprised me. I found the tunnels in the cliffs more interesting than the castle as it's a bit different . We spent about three and a half hours there and missed a few things to see. The kids seemed to really enjoy it.

Amazing day. Kids loved it, loads to see. Would advise anyone who wants to go in the tunnels to get there early and do it straight away as wait times can build up. Summer holidays they have things for the kids to do on the green in front of the castle. Get the map in the ticket office it will help to make sure you see everything. There is a cafe and tea room but also plenty of picnic benches and grass if you take a packed lunch.

Gorgeous view and super friendly staff! Little to do on Dover itself, but would definitely recommend a day trip just in the castle. With nice weather, you can even have a picnic on the castle grounds.

What a fascinating place! I used my mobility walker and it was a bit of a challenge in some areas, but there is a courtesy disabled electric bus going constantly around the site which will pick you up and drop you off where you want to go. The staff are so friendly and helpful and very knowledgeable about the castle. The views over the Port of Dover are amazing. The Naafi Restaurant was nice although a bit pricey for a family to dine there. A meal of a small portion of macaroni cheese and a portion of garlic bread was priced about £9. I had a little bottle of juice and a bottle of spring water and it cost £5.75. I subsequently found that complimentary tap water is available. The staff were very helpful and friendly and there was an excellent disabled toilet with an adult hoist. Complimentary Mobility Scooters are also available on a first come first serve basis. If you need assistance to visit the castle, you can get a complimentary ticket with your adult ticket for your carer. We had a fantastic experience visiting and there is so much to see and do that to do it justice it would take another visit!

One word Stunning! I know if you heard it but never came along here you will feel the same even if you’re British or not. From the very beginning with a tiny bridge it starts your special journey. Castle, chapel, view or war tunnels it’s truly stunning. Be careful about to spare enough time because it’s big enough and tunnel tours are not self made tour. If you’re an English heritage member it’s free entrance. If you’re not become one. PS. I would expect a better museum admission because of that many things would be more original or similar as it is not look like a toy specially inside the castle if it’s not main purpose of the design. In tunnels you don’t even see the video specially at the second part.

Stunning experience! Staying in Premier Best Western Hotel on the seafront. Staff were so lovely. 5 min drive to Dover Castle. Fantastic 2 nights away!

I was a bit taken aback by the £30 entrance fee! But there is bundles to see and do here. Spent nearly 2 hrs walking around, up the Tower and along the battlements. Fantastic views of the Channel and the port. Nice cafe onside too, if expensive. Would advise again ordering the pizza, we didn't have it but everyone that we saw order it, sent it back.

Very easy, enjoyable day out. The Great Hall was the highlight, whilst the underground tours of the tunnels provided a fascinating glimpse at the second World War. We went on a Friday so it was relatively quiet but with a few school trip groups.

I have been to this castle many times with my children. Everytime they love it and find something else to be excited about. The war tunnel are amazing , the castle is spectacular! On a sunny day you can see France from the castle. Spectacular views and steeped in history. I have been many times as a teacher and as a parent and highly recommend due to the facilities, the history and the knowledgeable staff!

A nice place to visit with scenic views all around and a peek into the history of the castle! You can also see the artillery and anti-aircraft guns used in WW 2. Be ready to walk a lot, though! Mind that the queues to the WW 2 tunnels might be longer!

Unforgettable experience!!!! Many place to visit (we spend 4 hours there) and the view are BEAUTIFUL me and my partner walk there from the city centre. Make sure u choose the sunny day and don’t forget to enjoy the view!!!

Visiting Dover Castle was an enriching experience! Delving into the history of England's first frontier was fascinating. The castle's historical significance is palpable, and the views are breathtaking. A must-visit for history enthusiasts and anyone curious about England's rich heritage.

Huge site, with lots to see. As a dog owner, dogs have very limited access on the site. I'm fine with this, but it's not clear why English Heritage policy varies so much. We have visited similar sites as members and have been able to access much more. Biggest issue wasn't able to get any drinks because dogs not allowed in cafes and no outdoor vendor at all. It would be a benefit to consider a kiosk type arrangement somewhere. Lots of kids activities laid on for Easter, queues for the tunnels and hospital, but well managed and didn't wait long (dogs also not allowed into these). Would benefit from Audio guides. Lots of history but not that well explained, so some areas information overload and some with no information at all. Some new displays evident which were much better.

Very large grounds with lots to explore. The castle itself has been kept in a way that represents how it would of been many years ago. The 2000 year old lighthouse is a fantastic piece of architecture that has really stood the test of time. Lots of modern fitments still in place including gun posts when it was protected in WW1/2. Great views from the top looking down across Dover. Plenty of parking, restaurant and lots of toilets to use, staff are very friendly and helpful. A great day out for everyone.

Excellent and very well preserved example of castle building. Make sure to save plenty ty of time to experience the WWII tunnels and stories. Make sure to join English Heritage prior to going and sign up for entrance to the site and centers. If short on time, visit the tunnels first, then the castle grounds.

Beautiful large castle with lots of grounds to walk around, a really interesting walk around the interior with halls to visit and a route up to the roof as well as fascinating wartime tunnels with a really fantastic tour and videos. A couple of gift shops too with the usual stuff and a lovely cafe with proper cooked food too (although obviously quite expensive). Overall an excellent day out and you could easily spend a full day here so make sure you have plenty of time!

It's an awesome trek along the white cliffs with stunning views all along. Nice place to have a picnic and just have a great time. The starting point is a bit steep with a lot of steps, so if not a regular trekker, keep taking breaks in between. The views are stunning all across, so enjoy them.

The cliffs are breathtakingly beautiful and on a good sunny day, the walking trail along the cliffs is lovely. Car parking can get filled up fast, so better to do the planning around it. The restaurant around the place is also nice and kids friendly. Mist in the area can play spoil sport though with visibility sometimes getting very poor.

This place is a heaven on earth. So serene and beautiful. An easy walk of around 40mins to reach the end. Would love to visit again😍

The best way to see the cliffs is with The English Bus tour—we were taken to a ground level location for breathtaking views of them. I have never seen such WHITE cliffs in my life. The very narrow roads, got quite windy and “narrow”. We were there in mid July as well. A definite must! The beach area was local for sure and there was even a little refreshments area setup too.

Our visit to the White Cliffs of Dover was nothing short of memorable. The scenic walk along these iconic chalk cliffs offers unparalleled views of the English Channel and an opportunity to bask in the natural beauty of the surroundings. It's a must-visit destination for anyone seeking to experience the awe-inspiring majesty of England's coastline.

Beautiful experience!! Walking up and down the mountain during the cold is really effective…..

Amazing walk trail with beautiful scenic ocean view and white chalky mountains. Lovely place to visit with family and spend the day.

Great views- can get a taxi to drop you off near the lighthouse, from which it’s a 1.5-2 hour scenic walk down - instead of doing it both ways or taking a short view route

Breathtaking view and lovely place for a walk. Parking is fairly cheap for the day, since you can pretty much walk around and just enjoy the view and the breeze all day. We didn't go to the restaurant, but it looked nice and there are enough restrooms available.

Amazing place with great views!!! Great plan to enjoy fresh air and ideal to make the most of the sunshine in England. There multiple paths so you can select the "difficulty" of the walk and you can always turn around when tired. There are a few benches in some spots for resting.

Such a wonderful place to visit. Worth the ride of about 3 hours. Better visit there early as you can visit castle also. 350ft above from sea. Breathtaking views. Bring something to drink and eat 😉 While walking along 8miles of coastline.

£7 for parking and great views as you walk along the cliffs. Loved it. The cafe looked lovely although we did eat there and the toilets were clean. Definitely be back

Nice view, perfect for hiking or walking. It would be better if we could see the sea. It was foggy so we could not have the best view but still quite nice to go.

The White Cliffs of Dover, with their brilliant white chalk formations, offer a breathtaking coastal spectacle. Their sheer beauty and historical significance make them a must-visit destination. Whether gazing at the sea or exploring wartime tunnels, the cliffs leave an indelible impression of nature's grandeur and England's resilience.

Chill and beautiful place. It’s about 40 minutes to an hour walk or so for the entire view point. The beginning of the view point is this cafe, walks is about 45 minutes to the train station. Therefore save 90-2 hours if you are walking from Dover privey to the end of the cliff.

Stunning! Well worth the visit. People are friendly. Loved seeing the "welcome to England" signs. Lovely watching the ships and ferries. The parking and pedestrian walking areas to the cliffs could be better though especially since its paid parking. Wear appropriate gear and shoes and bring plenty of water as it is a real hike if you want to walk the full extent.

Beautiful views of Dover. So relaxing couple of hours of walking. They are benches around so its a perfect spot for a mini picnic or a stop for a rest.

This is an all-time favourite place to come to with my family. The stunning coastal views, seasonal flowers, the stark white cliffs, the sea and sky is mesmerising indeed. I've been here a few times and I never tire of the scenery. Its so refreshing, the walk is exhilarating. Its an easy walk for the non experienced walkers, just make sure you have the right footwear and clothing. Depending on the weather it can get quite muddy and messy. Toilets, cafe and boot/shoes/cleaning area available just before you start your trek. Car parking facilities very easy and accommodating for wheelchair and disabled persons.

Stunning view and relaxing walk. There are safe walking trails along the cliff. Wood chairs give resting places for you to catch a good view of the sea with ships/ ferries. Had multiple parking slots (need to pay £5 for the stay). Restaurant and the toilets were closed on the day we went.

Stunning views and parking can be a little hectic at the weekends as most of the larger vehicles don't know where to go, but the 40 minute walk to the lighthouse is gorgeous. Well worth a visit.

Breathtaking! You have to be there to really take it all in. Amazing views in a serene setting. There’s miles of trails to explore, there’s a nice little cafe at the entrance too. A must visit. Free to walk but parking is £5.

A must hike! Beautiful view from the cliffs to the ocean, from other parts toy can see the white rock formations. Really pretty and easy to walk since the paths are well marked. You can choose different trails depending how far you want to go. There’s a bunker in the way that was closed to visitors, but interesting to see from outside. The other end is the lighthouse, the coffee shop was closed; so check their opening times and days if your goal is to go eat there. Free parking. Their cafe in the entrance is very convenient, there’s also clean bathrooms there. The water hose and brushes made a lot of sense when you walk back from the cliff because you can get very muddy.

Magnificent! I’ve seen it in photos, videos, etc. for so many years. Finally made it here and it’s totally worth driving 1.5 hours to come here. The sunny weather does helped. Would love to come back again for photos taking. We didn’t get to the lighthouse which is a shame. Will definitely go next time!

I bought a load of season tickets (and since found out that they were the same price that I could travel with all the other ferry companies on a one way ticket, so wasnt a bulk buy bargain anyway!) and straight after they sacked all their staff and the whole company went on strike so I had to pay to use another ferry company for travelling, when P & O were eventually opened again they refused to extend my season tickets longer than 4 weeks, so now I cant use them all up in 4 weeks so have had to throw them all away at great loss to myself. I will do utmost best to never travel with this rogue company ever again! Hope everyone boycotts this awful company for sacking all their staff. They are using foreign staff who arent helpful and theyve even closed their restaurant too so you have to buy a cardboard box with rubbish food in it and eat with wooden cutlery.

Awful. Food was overpriced, served in sweaty boxes via self service restaurants and revolting. Both ferries travelled on were not clean. Toilets were broken. No hot water in toilets for hand washing. Absolute chaos when trying to get back to the vehicles as the stairwell doors weren’t opened in a timely manner. The ships were half empty, I hate to think what it must be like during peak season. Have travelled many times with P&O in the past but never again.

The passage itself is short & one of my favorites. Ferries are maintained well, and the service at the Lounge is superb. What reduces the score is that the process for getting on & off the boat for foot passengers is absolutely terrible. People carry their luggage on & off the transfer busses that are overcrowded, then to the ferry & getting off the ferries is slow & disorganized. I did two of those & every time it looked it was as if it was the first time they encountered foot travelers. I cannot imagine disabled or older people going through this. They need to improve process (which is easy) or stop taking foot travers

It was such a beautiful experience. On the ferries you will find everything you want from shops to food and kids area. It is a beautiful experience for little ones and for grown ups. I think P&O they got the biggest ferries. Definitely recommend.

Absolute chaos on boarding and even worse when leaving the ferry. No hot food available, there used to be a proper restaurant so we always had an English breakfast when travelling at the morning, but it's not possible any more - only some rubbish breakfast box with "scrambled eggs" made of powdered eggs. Absolutely disgusting and very disappointing. The shop offered only alcohol, perfumes and watches, not even single shelf with some first need products (we needed a plaster for some cuts and sanitary products - no chance! And no first aid kit available on board either.) Never to use again 😔

The service on board in January was appalling! There was not many people, but the evening staff on that night were having a discussion while serving the customers. They could not be bothered from the reception to the bar, sadly I realised that there was a lack of commitments to P&O!

Crossing was rough going off to Calais but that's not their fault so I'm not going to downgrade for it. Check-in was lengthy but we're on a coach so that's fair enough, we got on and the ferry was nice enough, the Costa onboard was a blessing for an 8am caffeine boost, but there was one thing. The range of food. I didn't expect full blown catering but the food on offer was burgers, fish & chips etc. Absolutely nothing if you have dietary needs, so bring food. It's also outrageously expensive, my coffee I said earlier cost only a bit more than in shop but a double cheeseburger, chips and a pepsi max (in cardboard, literally like the to go section) was £13.29!!!

I have used Dover port to cross the Channel on many occasions Never had any issues found the staff polite and friendly Also always happy to help

Quite good transport, friendly staff, clean facilities; the offers in the shop are sometimes good for a bargain, in my opinion all in all better than DFDS ferries.

Loved watching the boats leave the dock and watch the lorries all queue up , quite fascinating on on nice summer evening

It's OK, nice customer service

I enjoyed my stay in the hotel. The rooms are nice and cozy with a little porch to walk out on. The area is primarily used for a caravan park but the hotel is nice and private. All of the facilities such as the pool, kiddies play area and restaurant are all located close together and are open quite late. This is a nice hotel to stay in for the night if you intend on visiting the White Cliffs of Dover as it is quite close by. The staff are all helpful and friendly. I would recommend staying a night in the hotel.

Never stayed at this location, it is very quiet, the staff are very polite and attentive, the swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna are a selling point. There was not much else in terms of entertainment for children, although there was plenty to do upto 30 minutes drive away be that beach or shopping at the designer outlet in Ashford. All in all a pleasant stay, improvements in terms of more activities for children possibly a larger play area zip wires etc

Check in was really smooth and the staff were lovely , directions to the caravan were poor , we were given a map and a brief description of where to go but the plots aren’t sign posted well so you have to look at each caravan . Caravan presented well but over time of use started noticing wasn’t as clean as it could be , sweets and old crisps found under beds and side cabinet. We had a group staying in different caravans and there doesn’t seem to be a standard criteria of what kitchen utensils etc people get as we all had different things but not a major issue . The decking area was great especially with lovely weather but unfortunately had ants everywhere , the patch of grass next to the caravan had a big tree stump and with little ones they were frequently falling over it . Plenty of parking right by the caravan which was great. The entertainment is pretty non existent with one small playground that isn’t suitable for younger children , a tiny soft play that’s very basic , evening entertainment is pretty much bingo or a quiz, they have a dart board but the darts are broken ( which you pay a deposit for) . The swimming pool is a good size but so cold and the pool for younger children is restricted to only so many allowed in so not guaranteed to be able to use, changing rooms need a good clean. The shop is …. Well May as well say doesn’t exist as there isn’t even basics there , plenty of swimming thing’s available to buy at a premium though and toy characters that represent park dean entertainment that doesn’t exist. It is very peaceful though so ideal for just a relaxing weekend away without children. Overall we wouldn’t return sadly as there just isn’t enough to do there for children and what is there is poor . We didn’t eat at the restaurant due to pricing so couldn’t comment on this .

We enjoyed our holiday. This park is the smallest park we've visited, very small restaurant and clubroom. Didn't rate the restaurant as we only had one meal where we waited 40 minutes after ordering to be told there was no chicken available for 2 of our meals & the meals were not worth the wait anyway. Club was fun and entertainment staff were good at their jobs. Our caravans decor was very minimal but was a nice size and very clean.

Just back from a great week at this park, our first time at a Parkdean. It's a smaller park, which meant it was nicely quiet and didn't feel crowded although it being just after the Easter break may have had something to do with that. Caravan was great, best I've ever stayed in. Of particular note the shower was much larger than normal, the bed was comfy and there was a good amount of room to move about. Several times during our week one of the crew members knocked on the door just to check we were happy with anything and see if there was anything they could do. Also I found the ladies at reception really informative, I had several great chats with Amy about the area and the park and she was really helpful. Location was great to explore this side of Kent, Dover castle is very close and it's not a long drive to get to Sandwich, Deal etc and there's a lot of English Heritage sites nearby. I'd like to say a big thanks to the onsite team for calling us just after we'd left - we were only ten minutes away and they'd found that we'd left a few beloved soft toys - hidden under a pillow by one of the kids! We were able to just nip back and pick them up and it was so kind of them to call straight away - another half hour and we'd have been a long way away so a massive thanks for that :)

We have recently stayed here with our 3 children. Upon arrival we found our caravan to be a good size. We couldn’t find the tv remote and the staff dealt with this very quickly. The rooms seemed clean but after lifting one of my daughter’s mattresses I found blood on the underneath. This was unfortunately at the end of our stay. There were a few little bits that were broken but I would say this was wear and tear. The whole park was very pretty and clean. The staff in all areas were very friendly and happy. We felt the restaurant was very expensive and on one night ordered a justeat which saved us over £30. I would recommend going down to the beach. It’s beautiful! Shop is limited. Pool and park is good. Not enough parking sadly. There just wasn’t enough to keep our children entertained for the whole weekend.

Came to St. Margaret’s Bay in June 2021 and while I can’t make a full review (due to some facilities being shut due to the pandemic), it was so quiet and peaceful! 😌 Caravan was clean, and staff came around on our first day to see if there was anything they could do to help, and as someone who’s been critical of Park Resorts since they changed hands, I can say I was pleasantly surprised. Plenty to do around the area if you’ve got kids, but if you’re looking for a quiet and laidback place then I’d definitely recommend this place.

Cleanliness around the whole site is pretty poor, put it this way, in the second of the accommodation we were given (because the first smelt so bad or urine) we had to head to the nearest supermarket and buy cleaning stuff to clean the bungalow top to bottom. I’m talking food still on plates, sticky stuff on the door handles, stained bedding… Friends were staying in another that was clean, so… luck of the draw? Facilities are, on the face of it, quite good for kids, with a very good little outdoor play park, pool, soft play and entertainment area, just not super clean. Some of the staff are really great (pool & events) and keen to ensure your able to make the most of it (hence 3 stars) - some staff really are not (cafe) where you are clearly an inconvenience to their texting conversations and a nuisance for wanting to order something. Location is great - just bring some cleaning stuff to make sure your comfortable and embrace it. And get drunk, getting drunk will help.

Very nice holiday just come back today after a really nice chilled weekend lots to do both on site and off. Only thing I will complain about is the grass was cut way to short and should be cut and collected with a ride on with a hopper on. (I’m a grounds manager myself) the grass i the caravan was very annoying constantly sweeping the floor 🤬

We always stay in parkdean... this one is very LOW in everything, no take away on site, the lunch which states open till 4.30pm is actually closed, no shop, if you can call 2 shelves in reception a shop!! Not near the beach, there is no entertainment, unless you like bingo or a karaoke or something with kids... nothing for teenagers. I've never been to such a rubbish site. We won't be back.

Stayed overnight before a trip to France. Hotel is set in the middle of a caravan park and was a little difficult to find reception on arrival and had to ask in the bar. However, room was great, clean and perfect for a one night stay. Quiet in the night. Only slight issue was no soap available in the bathroom. Around a 10 minute drive into Dover so ideal for an early ferry. On site bar was OK if a little bit expensive, there was evening entertainment for guests but we didn't attend. Overall a good stay!

We stayed in a lodge on bela way, I can't speak highly enough of the accommodation. It was clean and had everything we needed for a weekend away including towels iron ironing board dishwasher washing machine the list goes on! Quiet space with a nice restaurant on site. Polite friendly staff. Perfect location for historical visits and very close to plenty of shops.

“It was so clean! The staff were lovely and so friendly. The pool was so nice, it really was the best fun for a 13 year old (more changing rooms would be good). I was shocked when the staff offered to ‘lend’ me a pound for the locker, that was so trusting and kind. We will be booking again for next year...”

We booked a bungalow for pet owners. The kitchen units were worn but functionable. Everything was clean. The park is nice and the staff are er friendly and helpful. Pool and Spa were good, food great. Fantastic place Trips around the Dover area.

This is a run down low market campsite. We paid more for a better van and it was sub par to say the least. Will not be coming back here to stay the next time we venture this way. We we mentioned the damages they didn't seem overly fussed. We was casually told to speak to the housekeeping team when we see then next, which I think shouldn't sit with us. The pool full sized pool was incredibly cold, the smaller pool was nice and warm. The hot tub didn't work and when we spoke to the lifeguard he informed us that is only works when it feels like it. The steam room was not working either! The location is not too bad, with Dover and shops a 5/10 minute drive away and Deal 20.

Caravan was in great location. We arrived a couple of hours early. We couldn't check-in it was early. So we got some food from the restaurant. Great team member come and found us. To tell us the caravan was ready and we went hour early

Great Location right on Dover and White Cliffs doorstep Dover Castle only 10 minute drive. Staff very friendly and helpful. Caravan was very clean and spacious.

Me and 3 others stayed here for a night in the hotel before traveling to France in the morning. Nice and clean rooms with fridge, kettle, shampoo, tea and coffee. Great for a stay of one or a few nights. The food in the bar area was very tasty and the portions were a good size. The Staff were great and helpful with all our needs. Only thing was that the beds were a bit uncomfortable. Overall a great stay and I would deffinately stay here again soon! Thank you

Had a great breakaway at the middle of Oct. Nice little bungalow wish it was longer it was the mini me first birthday, and they spoilt him rotten. Great staff and thanks to Ryan and Zoe (2 lifeguards), who came to the rescue when mini me fell and had a big cut on the brain box. Nice clean resort. friendly staff and a nice clean pool. The only thing I would say is if you are out of season, there is not much to do activities wise on site, and you don't have to book as Parkdean website says you do. already booked Wales next year.

We recently stayed at St Margarets Bay & despite a minor issue with our caravan, the team swiftly resolved it. The park itself is a peaceful oasis & we especially appreciated the scheduled adult-only swims. A lovely retreat!

Stayed here as we were attending a wedding which was taking place right across from the site! Staff were fabulous nothing was a problem! The room was perfect for us and had all we needed. Clean and comfortable had a great nights sleep. We even made use of the pool while we were visiting. Breakfast was top notch and well needed after a busy night! Check in was super easy and staff were all just so welcoming. Would definitely return

Lovely short break away, Caravan was modern but had a few issues which we reported. The park was quiet but the Entertainment team were fantastic!

Some complaints. Pool area was far too busy and you could not get in while hearing locals boasts they get in for free which means a paid guests we could not use the facilities. The obstacle course left my daughter with grazes on her elbows and knees( We have pictures and would like someone to contact us regarding this) Our towels rails in the both bathroom fell off in our lodge and the shower in the en-suite was blocked, (maintenance was contacted)

It's a very retro lighthouse, but it's a 50 minute walk away from the visitor centre, so if you already booked a tour, just know that it's an hour's walk away. It's currently under-construction, so there's scaffolding everywhere. The day I went, it was perfect weather - but I can imagine it's not so nice in bad weather. I paid for a tour of the lighthouse - it was okay but there wasn't all that much to see. The guy doing the tour was nice enough and I found it interesting, but the people on my tour were clearly getting bored. £6 for a 30 minute tour was pretty steep ... even the parking wasn't that much.

Great outing, tour volunteers were so knowledgeable about the Lighthouses history. Lovely spot to chill and enjoyed the tearooms.

On arrival it's £5 to park unless you're a national trust member which would be free. The fee goes towards the upkeep of the site so it's a small price to pay. The walk is really good and if your in reasonable physical shape you can get to the lighthouse in around an hour. Once at the lighthouse there is a small cafe called mrs knott's tea room which I highly recommend. At the car park area is also a really nice cafe where we stopped in to dry off and have a bite to eat (Got caught in a freak rain/hail storm)

A great place to visit with an interesting history. The tour is well worth doing and there is a great view from the top. Food, ice creams and drinks are all available. If you are in Dover and want a good walk along the white cliffs, with so something to see at the end, then this is one to go for.

The views of the White Cliffs are stunning and just 5’ from the lighthouse, however the GPS wants to take you right to the lighthouse and that’s not possible. I finally left the cat at St. Margaret’s and reached the lighthouse on foot (15’ more). That’s not a problem for me but this should be noticed in case you were going there with elderly people / children.

The explanation is wonderful, and you can hear the story of Faraday's invention of the arc lamp and Marconi's demonstration of radio technology. You can learn about the changes in the nearby reefs and the many stories of shipwrecks and rescues. There will be a live demonstration of the operation of the old lighthouse. The scenery on the tower is also good, although it is cloudy, you can also see France vaguely

Peter our guide was so helpful and knowledgeable. A 45 minute tour flew by, and we had access to the entire lighthouse. Excellent spot for children.

Finally made the top of the lighthouse I had a long walk when we came in it there was a great atmosphere feels like Victorian era but it was really beautiful inside and old. I love the Caffe with the teapot beautiful collection of tea pots and cups. It was cosy really warm we had the cream tea where you get scones and a pot of tea for £5.50, but sadly there was no clotted cream for the scones. I had a sausage roll but it was very cold. The view was really lovely and the café had not too much of stuff like afternoon tea or pastries, it wasn’t too special but the food was okay, it would be nice to have a proper afternoon tea.

Dear friends. I'll tell you a little about this place. We came there and bought a ticket for 10 pounds, we didn't wait. We entered and the guide told us everything about this place and gave us a tour. we went up to the 3rd floor from there you could see France and a very wonderful view. The weather was beautiful and people sat near this place and sunbathed, and someone just ate on the bench. There is also a restaurant-cafe, a souvenir shop and a small corner with games for children..I recommend..🌼

A nice quiet pitstop on walks along the White cliffs of Dover, with views looking across the channel, France in view on good days. Tea room serves a nice choice of cakes, and a few savoury items that suit well with the teas and coffees available.

We had the chance to visit the light house on the weekend during the summer holidays. Wasn't overly busy. Joined in the tour of the lighthouse. Which was great and got to know about the history behind the building and location.

A Captivating and Charming Lighthouse Loved discovering this gem along the Dover cliff walk. With breathtaking ocean views, picnic benches, water refills, and a delightful tea room offering snacks, it's the perfect stop to rejuvenate and immerse yourself in nature's beauty. A must-visit spot for all wanderers.

The halfway point of the walk from and back to the National Trust visitor center. Beautifully kept building and surrounding grounds. Good facilities here with a gift shop, cafe, toilets. Plenty of picnic benches, deck chairs and a lawn to sit on. The cafe is at the back of the lighthouse and was extremely busy during my visit. The gift shop sells snack, drinks and is where you obtain tickets for the timed guided tours. There were about 8 people in my group which is about right so you can move freely through the lighthouse. The knowledgeable and friendly guides give excellent history and information. The tour work through the building from the generator room right to the top where you can take pictures from the platform outside. A very interactive tour and you are encouraged to examine some of the features in more detail.

We arrived 5 minutes late and unfortunately we didn't go up to the light house but it was a fantastic place to visit.

Beautifully maintained traditional lighthouse in a great location overlooking the channel. The lighthouse was the first in the world to be electrified, and today is open as a tourist attraction. The grounds are free to enter, with guided tours of the lighthouse tower available separately. There's a quaint café inside the attached building, and a refreshment shop and toilet facilities within the grounds. For lighthouse opening times check the National Trust website: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/kent/south-foreland-lighthouse From the National Trust White Cliffs visitor centre, the walk to the lighthouse takes in some of the most impressive coastal scenery in southeast England.

It was a perfect, bright, sunny day when I visited. I was sick the day before but it all cleared up on the white cliffs of Dover as I gazed upon the gloriously picturesque views. This vantage point was the ideal spot to take it all in. The clean air, the light ocean breeze and the eye candy. They have family sized benches to sit and recover after the somewhat steep climb you would have to make to get here, as well as a tea room where you can get all the refreshments you might need. I would highly recommend this as a day out. On the right day, it's absolutely spectacular. It almost feels like a trip abroad. At one point, my phone even got confused and declared "welcome to France"!

A wonderful treat during the walk of the cliffs. We got coffee but they offer a great variety of tea. The carrot cake was fabulous and the flapjack.

It was an amazing morning experience for me. The light house at the end of a long and narrow path. The crew were extremely friendly and helpful. The lighthouse's garden were lovely but a bit windy. Garden has a great pitch and full with history and romance 👌

Some good walks & cycling here. Somewhere to eat too. A great view of part of the While Cliffs too. Worth a visit by car via a One track tunnel with lights. Access on foot via path next to single track road.

Very tranquil place , good facilities..toilets/ refreshments and information centre. Access to pebble beach . Car park £1 for 2hrs cash or RingGo app .

Absolutely stunning location. Be prepared for a long walk. Diddnt expect how far this walk would take us. But the family highly enjoyed it. A nice couple of place to grab a bite to eat. Plenty of places to park and at a cheap price.

Lovely place for a long leg stretch it’s a very windy walk as obviously very coastal but with the right attire you’ll be fine I walked along the longest stretch onto the beach the views were amazing loved being so close to the cliffs. Toilets were near the car park and plenty of spaces available for February anyway I’m sure it gets very busy in the summer though. Tickets were cheap and it’s a nice afternoon walk.

Stunning place! You can’t drive past it, you have to stop to check it out

Such a beautiful place to walk around and see the stunning view of the beach from the white cliff if you hike. There were cycling routes which are amazing.

Nestled beneath the iconic White Cliffs, it boasts stunning vistas, rich biodiversity, and serene walking trails. The reclaimed land showcases impressive engineering and serves as a peaceful retreat for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike. Truly a gem of the British coastline.

Absolutely stunning area to visit . Good sized car park , visitors center, cafe and toilet . Parking is pay and display . Plenty of picnic benches. Superb views out across the channel to France . Dog friendly. You turn off the A20 and then wait at the traffic lights to pass through the tunnel which is single file , signs say maximum wait is 3.5 minutes.

Great place for a walk, however if you want to walk across the cliff top do this. Walk up through the tunnel you had driven down, when you reach the top/exit of the tunnel turn right (facing towards Dover port) and follow the path straight, after about 20mins walking across the top you will reach a small quite secluded beach.

Lovely peaceful wilderness to walk through and enjoy nature. At the end of the trail, there is a beach (stony), with great rock pools at low tide. The green and white cliffs add a great backdrop.

Superb space, one of the workers Paul was so informative, we was in awe of the info he was sharing. Seeing the peregrine falcons attack crows! Snug beach, just peaceful. Cheap parking too!!

Beautiful country park to see the white cliffs from the bottom up. Easy walk with tarmacked paving . You can walk through the field with cattle or along the sea wall where lots of people are fishing from. You reach a beautiful beach at the end of the fields .parking cost £1.7 for 3 hours . There is a little shed selling food and drink including locally made Ice cream. Toilets and education centre on site. Some old war planes flew over during our visit. There were other trails and I think you could possibly walk to Dover docks along the coastal wall.
