Port Lympne Hotel and Reserve

The Lookout Bubble

Breakfast
The Lookout Bubble offers a unique experience across all seasons. Winter evenings bring spectacular views of the night sky, with some of the very best stargazing the Reserve has to offer. While The Lookout Bubble is not insulated, our team ensures your home-from-home is well stocked with extra blankets, throws and other comforts including heaters so you can stay cosy in bed and enjoy the stars overhead. As summer brings a warm glow to the Reserve, The Lookout Bubble can heat up under direct sunlight. With the sun shining overhead and your wild neighbours keen to say hello, summer afternoons are perfect for exploring Port Lympne. Visit your favourite species. After a day of exploration, enjoy your private garden as the sun sets and temperatures naturally decline.
