Café and Food

"The cafe did nice food and was reasonably priced and the toilets were clean."
"We then headed to the cafe which served a good selection of ice creams and other tasty treats."
"The cafe next to the park has amazing indulgent cakes that I recommend!"
"Coffee shop is nice, even better when the owner replaces the coffee machine."
"There is a café and shop on the side where you can get lunch, coffee, tea, and cakes."
"The cafe is open for take away drinks, sandwiches and ice cream."
Cons:
"The cafe shop is good, bit pricey."
"Service very good, however very disappointed with vegan sausage rolls."
"The area is amazing and offers so much. Its just such a shame the visitor centre is awful - everytime i have come they have served awful food and had awful customer service."
"Very disappointed with cafeteria, not one clean table."
"The food was stale and coffee did not taste like coffee."
"Sadly no dogs allowed in the cafe."

"Parking is affordable at £2.50 for the whole day."
"Cheap all day parking and a kiddies play Park."

"Parking costs are reasonable but bring change in case the card machine doesn't work."
Cons:

"The PayByPhone system is unreliable, so have some small change handy."
"Car park grossly overpriced, only a full day rate available."
"ANPR system registers your car, you will get a parking fine regardless of paying or not."
"Parking needs to be extended somehow as you can get there and find nowhere to park."
Facilities and Maintenance
Pros:
"The toilets next to the café are fairly well maintained, not the cleanest and don't always have a lot of soap or toilet paper but not bad for public toilets."
"Centre toilets were clean and soap and toilet paper was supplied."
"Great toilet facilities, play area and cafe just next to the car park."
"Wheelchair accessible toilets next to the cafe/car park."
"The children's play area is pretty amazing."
"There's a kids play area, a cafe (with great looking cakes) and a good gift shop."
"Good cafe. Lots of picnic tables and open space to play."
Cons:
"The toilets need a greater capacity for the amount of people."
"The children's play area was not very well maintained at all and the slide was out of order."
"None are wheelchair friendly unless you have an off road type."
"Toilets not up to standard, very dirty."
"The toilets were a bit smelly which is a shame because otherwise they are in good condition."
"Rather limited children's play area and the slide was off limits when we visited."
"Unfortunately small walk for children need attention and maintenance as sculptures to discover are in not great state."
Scenery and Environment
Pros:
"Lovely place to spend the day, if the weathers good. Lots of places to explore and have a picnic, great for kids and dogs."
"There are lovely routes across the countryside."
"Beautiful country park that has woods, fields and pretty views!"
"The view from the top of the hill is stunning."
"Very popular and I can see why."
"Lovely place to picnic and loads of wildlife around."
"Beautiful part of the Kent Countryside, plenty of well marked walks."
Cons:
"Intersects a golf course in places which can be a little off putting, when you hear the whack of a ball your kinda hoping it doesn't hit you."
"Not much to do inside so dress appropriately."
"The trails go through a golf course which can prove to be dangerous."
"The lack of tree cover may be a downside for some, as it can get quite hot in the summer months."
"The thing that bothers me the most is that the lake is behind a huge fence and you can hardly even see it from any of the trails."
"Obviously a matter of taste but for me too exposed to roads. Does not feel secluded enough."
"The only negative are the various golf courses, great if you're a golfer, but not a hiker, so keep off the fairway and keep on the paths."
