The lodge is in a nice area. The room is a tidy average room with no bar fridge. Largely they seem to cater for functions and conferences. The breakfast is good value. It is attached to a golf club. I messaged to try to book a golf tee time both via the booking agent VRBO and email direct to pro-shop. I got no response to either but on arrival they told me a time had been booked. Perhaps they assumed a golf booking would email me automatically but that didn’t appear to work for international visitors.

The history of the airfield from 1916 and it's use by the RAF and civil airlines. Manston started its Aviation days as a Royal Naval Station in 1916, with a base at Westgate Bay for seaplanes. The early airfield was on the area now occupied by the passenger terminal. By 1917 Manston airfield had grown to include four underground hangars, its own railway line to Birchington, a power station to generate electricity, barracks for 3,000 men and even an indoor swimming pool. After WW1, training of airmen in airframe maintenance and engine repairs was taught in the School of Technical Training. 1940 and WW2 brought the Battle of Britain. Barnes Wallis arrived in 1943 to test his bouncing bomb at nearby Reculver, before the Dam busters carried out their famous raid. Roland Beaumont arrived with the Typhoon which came to be the most successful ground attack aircraft in WW2.
