“The Griive Armada was fine.”

Regrettably the site was lacking in advertised facilities. The Swimming Pool was permanently closed. As was the Bar , Cafeteria, Bakery, Loinge. Only two maintenance men for the whole site. (194 chalets plus large grounds), When speaking to them they had no idea what was going on at the site.. Feed back can be published but please leave my name off, as I know people there.

“Great surroundings, spectecular view from cottage terrace, close to the beach and many things to do in the area for young and old.”

Our kids (age 3, 5, 6) loved Wingham Wildlife Park, Dover Castle and the Hythe-Dymchurch-New Romney steam train.

“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!

“We went to Groove Armada last year and were so impressed we booked to go again this year and if anything it was even better than last year, the place is so comfortable and wonderfully decorated.”

Kitchen well equipped with pretty much anything you could think of. The site is very peaceful, the pool is very nice and nothing to complain about. Special mention to the Zetland Arms pub 5 minutes down the road and right on the beach cracking pub great food and the perfect location for a pub. Cant recommend highly enough.

“Absolutely lovely”

We loved the Groove armada is it so welcoming and quirky and comfortable makes you feel really at home straight away. The kitchen is very well equipped you could easily cook just about anything in it and we did. A nice surprise was a gas BBQ on the back decking which was'nt mentioned anywhere which we used one evening as the weather was lovely. The decking area is lovely and has ample seating and a storage box with cushions for the chairs and tennis raquets and stuff if you wanted to take advantage of the tennis court. It has a lovely view which is marred a little by what looks like an old building which is all cordoned off, think it may be listed but its a bit of an eyesore. The bedrooms are comfortable we had the double downstairs and my daugther and her boyfriend and my teenage daughter were upstairs. I think its a tiny bit short on storage but for a week you can manage. it does benefit in having a washer and a airer which you can put up outside, also has an iron and ironing board. Kingsdown park is very nice peaceful and well tended, the club was'nt open when we went so I can't say how good the entertainement was, we went in the clubhouse the first night and had a drink and a sandwich but did'nt go in again the food is very limited and it was very noisy even though the site itself was pretty quiet. I can't recommend the swimming pool enough it was lovely and clean and 32 degrees every day, great for a swim on a morning. The crazy golf left something to be desired as it was flooded when we got there and took about 4 days to dry ou it was fun though and for a £1 a club its a bit of a laugh, the site also has a playground for smaller children. the reception staff are very helpful and will try and help you with any issues, the wifi was'nt working when we were there but you could log on in reception and use theirs for anything urgent There is no shop on site but just round the corner there is a post office /grocery shop and a butchers. 3 pubs are in easy distance with the best we think been the zetland arms where we had tea one night, you have to book though as it is very busy. We found Deal the nearest town lovely small but interesting with a shingle beach, we also visited margate which had a lovely beach but was a bit rundown and whistable which is a very nice town with lots of shops and seafood restaraunts. We will definetely come back to this holiday let as we fell in love with it and had a wonderful week. One of the good/bad things you may wish to know is that there are no cars allowed on the site there is a car park and some trollies for you to take your luggage to the chalet but I think this makes the park nicer as there is no revving engines in the small hours and also children can play out on the grassy areas without fear of been run over.

“beautiful lodge, lovely decor, great area for days out and beach exploring!”

We had a fantastic week at groove armada. The lodge is very welcoming and we instantly felt at home. We Stayed for 7 nights with our two daughters aged 8 and 3,my hubby and the girls Nanny and grandad. We had the best pub meal ever at the zetland arms on the beach and also it's sister pub "the rising sun" are both just a 5-10 minute walk from the park. We loved the "lookout point" just 30 seconds walk from the chalet with amazing sea views! Bedding, beds and linen was of a very high standard and the kitchen was very well equipped including microwave, delux coffee machines and a full size cooker and washing machine. The new "indoor stoop" provides a lovely large living and dining space which feels very spacious. Local butcher and fish and chip were excellent. Lovely local area t. explore, castles, beaches and little towns with markets and shops.

“July 2014 - Family Holiday”

We stayed at Groove Armada for one week. This was our third stay and once again we were extremely happy with the accommodation. The chalet is clean, comfortable and very well equipped. The only thing to bear in mind is that the stairs are very steep. However this was not a problem for us even with young children and a 86 year old father as there is a toilet on each floor and good hand rails on stairway. There are lots of lovely walks in the countryside and along the sea front. For cyclists there is a very good park called Fowlmead just outside Deal which has a purpose built 2 mile road cycle track, we love it! The kids are safe to run free whilst parents relax. We had a lovely time and will be booking the chalet for next year.

“Great Stay”

We've been there with a four year old. It's a great place for children. Lots of place to run around. Also lots of stuff to play in the house. And great seaview for the parents.

“Beautiful surroundings - outstanding for children of all ages”

We were really impressed with the lodge and all that it offered us as a family with an energetic 2-year-old. The chalet was well-stocked, beautifully presented with an amazing eye for detail and also offered a wonderful sea-view as well as the peaceful sound of the lapping shoreline from a clifftop vantage point. Area has plenty to offer; from zoos/animal parks to farms, castles and wonderful spots for tea/coffee as well as miles and miles of wonderful coastline offering both shingle and sandy beaches within striking distance of Kingsdown. Would highly recommend and will be looking to stay again!

“Lovely and child-friendly accomodation”

We stayed for one week as a family of 2 adults and 3 little kids. We absolutely loved it! The camping ground was perfect for the kids. They could go out and play without us having to supervise them all the time. The cottage itself was very clean, well equipped and exhibited a tasteful and personal decoration. Communication with the owner was suberp. Highly recommended!
