Port Lympne Mansion Hotel

Our whole weekend visit was 10/10 even with Storm Burt blasting through. We stayed in the JuJu treehouse which was amazing and the bonus of a golf buggy saved our daughter from moaning about too much walking. The only negative of the treehouse was the steps leading up to it. They were very steep and uneven in places but we got used to them. The highlight of my stay was definitely the Ultimate Safari, especially when we got to feed the black rhinos and definitely a once in a lifetime experience that my family never forgot. Our daughter loved toasting marshmallows in the clubhouse and getting so close to her favourite animal, capybara.

Stayed for 3 nights in December Treetop Bubble - - We weren’t aware that it was essentially an inflatable room upon booking, so be aware that there is a fan running at all times to keep it inflated, even at night - It’s also very noisy, due to the fan and the busy road at the back of the bubble - It also is very light in the room even at night, so an eye mask is a must - If it’s windy the bubble shakes too In the day and evening, it’s very peaceful and has great views, just be aware of the lack of sleep! Food - We went in winter so there were only two restaurants open! The pizza place and garden room were great - it’s not a great place for someone with dietary requirements. - The food is pricey! We easily spent over £100 a day on food and drinks (Over £4 for a small glass bottle of coke!) The safari - We booked a safari and Ant was our guide, which we would highly recommend! - We also bought a “Meet the great apes” experience with Rick and it was awesome! Rick was great and so knowledgeable and was our favourite part of our trip We enjoyed our stay, just a couple of things to be aware of! The bubble was lovely, but book it with awareness!

Visited today on a voucher for afternoon tea and safari truck ride. We were so worried about the weather (forecast torrential rain and 40mph winds!) but it was dry the whole time we were outside. Safari truck ride was great and the lady was very informative. On the walk round we saw a baby gorilla up close which was amazing and saw all the animals we wanted to even though it was freezing. Then came the afternoon tea. Our server Liz was absolutely amazing. So lovely and attentive and told us all about the paintings. The afternoon tea was delightful and we were able to take what we couldn’t finish home with us. Lady in the shop was excellent too I think her name was Kate. Very friendly. Really enjoyed the day and would definitely recommend .
