Time to channel that adventurous side in the Kent Downs – Hoad Meadow Alpaca Retreat is a family-run, sustainable retreat set in a splendid countryside landscape. Adventurers staying here will have the company of an array of animals including alpacas, goats, pigs and chickens, all of which can be met at hand-feeding sessions. Simple, friendly entertainment is this site’s tune. The family – Dan, Stacey and Eva - very much look forward to meeting their guests (dogs included) and making their stay a splendid time from start to finish. When you’re not relaxing on site, you’ll have plenty of choices for adventures elsewhere too, like trying out watersports or witnessing Dover’s white cliffs (25 minutes’ drive away). This rural retreat isn’t without a place to sink your teeth into a tasty dinner either. There’s a village shop 25 minutes’ walk away, so it should be easy to source all the bits for a barbecue of your own. Just along from the shop is a traditional 18th-century pub too. Down the coast from Dover is the seaside town of Folkestone (15 minutes’ drive), part of a North Downs valley with a harbour, creative quarter, beach and mile-long promenade. Inland is historic Canterbury, 25 minutes’ drive away. And if you're planning onward journeys across the Channel, the Eurotunnel and Dover ferry port are a short drive away.

Em va agradar: The pitch was nice and flat making for a comfortable sleep. The owners were friendly and helpful. A great place for families where the kids can securely play and run around (as the whole area is fenced in and there is an electronic gate to let cars in and out).

No em va agradar: Unfortunately we didn't realise how many children there would be there... (This is obviously great for families and I would recommend for family camping trips) Perhaps we just came on the wrong weekend...but It was a little chaotic for us though. The camping field itself is quite small for the amount of tents that were pitched there. The only space available was right next to the children's play area and then another three people set up about four feet from our tent so there wasn't much personal space. I love animals and felt a little uncomfortable to see how happy parents were to allow their children to torment the goats and pigs...with one man even getting into the goat pen and having the children shake the fence and shout at the goats to make them chase him. This is not the fault of the owners I suppose but it made me feel pretty sad that they didn't do anything to put a stop to this, as I think it's their responsibility to make sure the animals aren't mistreated by guests. The toilet and shower facilities weren't great, with the water working intermittently and the toilets being very high up, which meant that children were making quite a bit of mess whenever they used the toilets.

Del gerent: Thank you for taking the time to leave your detailed review. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the flat pitch, comfortable sleep, and the friendliness of our staff. We're also glad that you found our site to be a secure and enjoyable place for families. We appreciate your feedback regarding the number of children present during your stay. We aim to create a family-friendly environment, and it seems that you visited us during a particularly busy weekend. We understand that this may not have been ideal for guests seeking a quieter experience, and we're sorry for any inconvenience this caused. Regarding the proximity of tents and personal space, we currently do not have a fixed pitch plan, allowing guests the freedom to choose their own spots. This flexibility is generally appreciated by our visitors, but we understand it can sometimes lead to crowded conditions. We are considering ways to better manage this to ensure a more comfortable experience for everyone. We would like to address your concerns about the behavior towards our goats. Our goats are quite playful and do enjoy running around, which can sometimes be encouraged by the presence of visitors. However, it is important that this interaction remains respectful and gentle. We apologize if the situation you witnessed was distressing. We also regret to hear about the issues with the shower and toilet facilities and are taking steps to improve water consistency and maintain cleanliness. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. It helps us to improve and provide a better experience for all our guests. We hope to welcome you back in the future under more favorable conditions. Best regards, Dan

Em va agradar: We liked the owners. The site was very pretty with lights and a pond . The animals were great. Overall nice feel, great for families, great for dogs. Everyone very friendly. Very secure with cameras and electronic gate making you feel very safe on site.

No em va agradar: Toilets were v grim by the end of the day, no fault of the owners, but guests using them incorrectly. However, the kids have said they will miss the toilets as found it all funny!

Del gerent: Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the friendliness of our staff, the beauty of the site, and the presence of the animals. We're glad you found our site secure and welcoming for both families and dogs. We also appreciate your understanding regarding the state of the toilets by the end of the day.

It's great to hear that your kids found some humor in the situation! Your feedback is invaluable to us as it helps us improve our facilities and services. We look forward to welcoming you and your family back for another enjoyable stay. Best regards, Dan

No em va agradar: Wasn’t impressed with amenities. Only 3 unisex toilets for the whole campsite, wouldn’t consider it as a toilet block. Only 1 sink to wash hands and 1 sink to wash dishes. Wouldn’t be adequate for more than 5 tents

Llocs d'interès

Creative, historic, attractive… There are many adjectives that can be given to the city of Canterbury (25 minutes’ drive). Its historic highlights include the grand Canterbury Cathedral, Roman walls and timber houses, and its creative side can be tracked down in the theatres and galleries (and you'll pick up attractiveness just by taking a walk…) Dover (20 minutes) isn’t just about the white cliffs and castle. There are World War II tunnels beneath the castle and gorgeous coastal walks at Samphire Hoe. In Hythe (20 minutes), things are just as historical in the way of attractions, with the resort being home to the largest collection of human skulls and bones in the whole of Britain. What a way to split your day, between bone collections and the splendid beachfront. When you’re not busying yourself with all the different watersports that take place in Folkestone (15 minutes), take time to visit Folkestone East Cliff and Warren Country Park (10 minutes). On these easterly cliffs, there are sandy beaches and a nature reserve to investigate.
