Der ideale Anlaufpunkt nahe Dover mit Stranderlebnis vor der Tür auf der Rückreise von der UK-Tour.
Pros:

Die Lage, die Lage, die Lage!
Unkomplizierte Buchung und ein sehr freundliches Personal. Campervan-geeigneter Parkplatz direkt am Hotel, der mit der RingGo-App bezahlt werden kann.

Cons:

Eine kleine Klimaanlage im Zimmer „Captain Parker“ wäre gut. Bei sommerlichen Temperaturen heizen sich die Räume unglaublich auf, sodass man nachts nur sehr schwer schlafen kann. Die bereitgestellten Raumlüfter reichen nicht aus.

Superb - lovely hotel right on the beach
Pros:

Very modern, spacious, extremely clean family room with double bed and 2 single beds - pet friendly. Comfy beds, plenty of room, good tea/coffee selection. Huge bathroom with 2 sinks and bath/shower. Hotel is right on the beach - super breakfast - we loved it!

Cons:

One small thing - shower over bath was a mixer shower so you have to get the temp right yourself, and the shower itself ran very slow. Do not let this one small thing put you off still gave this hotel a 9 outa 10

Very enjoyable stay in a comfortable, friendly hotel in an excellent location!
Pros:

Excellent location, beautiful spot on the seafront. Couldn’t have asked for a better location. The breakfast was really lovely. We were blessed with wonderful weather so had our breakfast out on the terrace. All the staff we came across were really nice and helpful. The rooms were comfy. It is a nice, old-fashioned hotel. Would definitely return.

Cons:

Can’t think of anything!
