Hotel in der nähe der Fähre von Dover
Pros:

Ich habe meinen Aufenthalt sehr genossen! Das Zimmer war schön groß und ausgesprochen geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Besonderes Highlight war das große, gemütliche Bett mit einer hervorragenden, sehr bequemen Matratze – ich habe wunderbar geschlafen.

​Auch das Badezimmer hat mich absolut überzeugt: Die große, offene und barrierefreie Dusche mit WC ist bestens durchdacht. Sehr aufmerksam fand ich zudem die Bereitstellung von Wasser sowie die Möglichkeit, mir mit dem Kaffeekocher und den vorhandenen Teesorten jederzeit ein Heißgetränk zuzubereiten.

​Ich komme sehr gerne wieder!

Cons:

War alles super!

Excellent location Lovely rooms. recommend the restaurant . Great staff
Pros:

We had a lovely airy large room including a large sofa and an excellent shower room. Comfy king-size bed, Liked the addition of homemade chocolate brownies on the brew tray.. The restaurant was exceelent and staff too Enjoyed sitting in the pub terraced area , with lovely views across the valley for a drink before going into dinner. The food was top notch as was the service. We thought there would be road noise due to the location but did not notice it at all from within our room or the pub.
