I had a fantastic experience at this hotel, especially enjoying the stunning views from our Mountbatten Suite on my birthday getaway. The accommodations were comfortable and well-equipped, and the animal experiences were truly unique. However, the breakfast service could improve as there were a few hiccups during our meals, and the dining variety was not as extensive as expected. Despite these minor issues, the overall stay was memorable and a great value for a special occasion.

I had quite a memorable stay at the Port Lympne Hotel, enjoying stunning views and a unique experience feeding rhinos! The rooms were fantastic with beautiful vistas, adding to the charm of our visit. However, I found the dinner menu a bit limited, which detracted from an otherwise delightful dining experience. The staff were eager to help, but an afternoon tea service was poorly executed, dampening my enthusiasm.

My stay at Port Lympne Hotel was mostly enjoyable with exceptional views and unique animal experiences that added to the charm. However, both the service during breakfast and an encounter with a staff member at the golf buggy area detracted from the experience. The accommodations and grounds are beautiful, but inconsistencies in customer care and communication were disappointing, especially for the price we paid.
