Dickens Lodge
Westwood Road, Broadstairs
Dickens Lodge is a prestigious development of 32 one and two bedroom retirement apartments.
This development is named after one of the most famous people to visit the area - the author, Charles Dickens. He stayed in Broadstairs for his summer breaks and wrote much of David Copperfield in Bleak House which overlooks the jetty at Viking Bay.
Broadstairs itself is a popular town on the Kent coast between Margate and Ramsgate on the Isle of Thanet. Both a thriving residential area and a popular holiday resort. Those who seek a traditional English summer for the grandchildren certainly won't be dissappointed, with Punch and Judy shows, ice-cream parlours and donkey rides on offer.

There is no charge for parking but spaces are limited and available on a 'first come, first served' basis. Visitors should only park if there are specially allocated visitors' spaces. If none are available then visitors may only pick up or drop off Owners and must park off site.
Guest Suite
A Guest Suite is provided for visiting relatives or friends and a charge is made for its use. Reservations are arranged via your Lodge Manager. Priority may be given to a visitor helping a sick Owner.
Laundry
Most Lodge / Developments have communal laundry facilities, which are available to all Owners. The costs of running the laundry, including servicing and repairs, are paid for through the service charge.
