About Port Lympne Reserve - Port Lympne Hotel
Port Lympne Reserve - Port Lympne Hotel sits within the wild animal park itself, on high ground near Hythe with the Kent countryside spreading out around it. It's a setting unlike most hotels in the county, with the reserve's animals as neighbours rather than a distant attraction to drive to.
There are just 8 rooms, each en-suite and including family options, so it stays intimate rather than resort-sized. Guests get breakfast and access to a restaurant and bar on site, with kids' meals available for family stays. A garden and games room give space to unwind, and the hotel also handles weddings and offers VIP facilities for those wanting something more occasion-led. Free on-site parking and free WiFi cover the practical side, along with luggage storage for early arrivals or late departures.
Beyond the park gates there's golf and fishing nearby, plus a scattering of pubs and restaurants for evenings away from the hotel. It suits visitors who want the animal park experience extended into an overnight stay rather than a day trip, with the reserve itself the main reason to book.
