Kleines Schmuckstück nahe am Eurotunnel.
Pros:

Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und wir wurden sofort in ein besser erreichbares Zimmer umquartiert, als man unsere Koffer (3 Wochen Rundreise) sah. Das Essen war super. Und wir haben sehr bequem geschlafen. Zudem sehr hundefreundlich.

Cons:

Das Hotel ist sehr ländlich in einem Örtchen gelegen, in welchem man mit Hund nicht sehr gut spazieren gehen konnte.

Really nice place, but disappointing road noise
Pros:

The staff and the food were exceptional.
My room was very nice good Wi-Fi lovely breakfast evening meal was absolutely brilliant.
But I had a room on the front of the building and the road noise is absolutely terrible. If I was on the back of the building it may have been better. Some secondary glazing would be a must.

Very nice!
Pros:

Very welcoming staff, facilities excellent, would recommend.

Cons:

The room was a little small, though in fairness when I booked it I had the choice of the large or small room (for the same price) and as I was on my own I did tick 'small'. It was very nice though.

Lovely
Pros:

Lovely pub and gorgeous food in a great location but a very snug cosy room, which would normally be fine but we had a baby too and so felt a little crammed in but for a couple, just perfect!

Cons:

Room was a little smaller than would have liked ordinarily

I would return just for the food!
Pros:

The room was snug and may be difficult for some as the steps to the room were very steep, however there were other rooms in the property. The bed was so so comfy, shower snug but nice an powerful. The restaurant food for dinner and breakfast were - well nearly had my hubby crying as the chicken was delicious - as was my food.

Cons:

my only gripe - which they can't change - was the noise of the road traffic - sometimes trucks thundering past in the middle of the night - but the bed was so comfy
