  • Indoor pool, kids' club, amusements centre and adventure playground
  • Family restaurant, entertainment venue and bar with Sky TV
Feeling a bit snarly? Nerves getting all gnarly? You could do with a trip to Marlie. Laidback Marlie Holiday Park is in a scenic rural setting close to the beaches of New Romney and Dymchurch, on the Kent coast. With a heated indoor swimming pool and plenty more stuff to keep the kids entertained, it could be just what the doctor ordered to restore your sense of calm… Younger guests can flit between the sessions in the Loopy kids' club, the indoor pool, amusements centre and adventure playground, plus of course all the general running about in the fresh air (arm them with a few carrots and send them off to make friends with the resident rabbits). If you want a break from the cooking, the park has a decent family restaurant; there’s also a bar with Sky TV, and an adjacent entertainment venue with evening entertainment. You can relax in the knowledge that all the basics are covered too: smartly refurbished showers and toilets; a shop (as well a big supermarket just minutes up the road); a launderette; and free wifi in the clubhouse. There, you’re feeling better already, aren’t you?

Camping pod

Liked: Stayed in the pods, which were lovely and clean. The swimming pool was clean and easy to book at reception and the club house food was delicious and fast to come out, even when it was busy. The entertainment was good, although we didn't take part with a lot of it. The site was good for young children, mine aged 6 to 11. They lived the arcade, but it was expensive.

Disliked: The toilet and shower block near the pods was poor. It was dated, there was hot water in only one shower and it was often grubby. The walkway to the pods was extremely muddy, we spent the entire 4 days covered in mud no matter how we tried to avoid it, and it really does ruin the experience. Also no where to off load muddy shoes and no mop in the pod so we had to battle it in there too. I'm sure in a caravan this place is good, as they have concrete pathways, but u wouldn't recommend a pod unless you go in drier months.

Camping pod

Liked: The site is nicely located, pretty close to the beach. Pod was clean and comfortable.

Disliked: There was not enough free space for kids to play around pods. It looks very neat and possibly more for couples. Toilets - no stairs only ramp as an only access. I like the location but because not much space close to the pods I'm not sure I will be back.

Camping pod

Liked: The Glamping pods are brilliant the grandchildren loved it we paid the extra for bedding which I'm glad we did as more room in the car for others things, buy food and milk daily as no fridge we brought ice and put in coolbox and take cooking equipment cups kettle etc, plenty of things local for kids to do and a lovely big field for kids to play so bring games or ball

Disliked: Didn't have a dustpan to sweep as grass and woodchips gets dragged in by kids but borrowed a broom from another pod, and a mini fridge would be a great idea and maybe a little park near pods as the park at the front of site and pods furthest away

Camping pod

Liked: The moment we arrived the staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. The pod itself was lovely and clean with a table and enough chairs. The toilets/showers were less than a minute walk, which were also very clean. The shower was powerful, which usually you find isn't the case. We had an incident where unfortunately our dog was attacked by another dog, despite our dog being on the lead. The staff were amazing. They arranged an emergency vet, the dog owners were told to leave, they were helpful when the police arrived as well as allowing us a late check out the next day which was arranged when we returned from the vets. The clubhouse was clean, the food was quick and tasty. The walks around where the pod was situated was beautiful with plenty of space for the kids to run around and enjoy. We would definitely be returning

Local attractions

Buckets and spades are go, with a range of good beaches on the doorstep; try Littlestone and Dymchurch, or Camber Sands a little further away. You’ll spot the steam engines of the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway puffing past; don’t miss a trip on this historic miniature railway, one of the best ways to explore the area. Other sporting pursuits on offer include excellent fishing at the Wylands Angling Centre, where there are 10 lakes to choose from; and a wide range of watersports, both on the nearby beaches and at a specially designed lake just inland (sand yachting, wakeboarding, jetskiing and more). Whatever your ages and stages, there’s no shortage of inspiration for a family outing. A 20-minute drive up the road is the fab Port Lympne Reserve, where you can bump along through herds of African wildlife in a safari truck and get up close to the gorillas in the Palace of the Apes; you’ll also see rhinos, elephants, lions, tigers and other ferocious beasts. Alternatively, go for a day out in Dover, to explore the White Cliffs and historic Dover Castle; a sedate saunter around spectacular Leeds Castle, potentially offset with an adrenaline-boosting high ropes adventure at the neighbouring Go Ape centre; a tastebud-tickling trip to the Biddenden Vineyard and Cider Works; a walk down memory lane at Yesterday’s World, or a foray to the Hop Farm near Maidstone.
