Breakfast was wonderful and great value for the money. Staff was the best thing about the hotel, though--outgoing, helpful, engaged!!
United States of AmericaWe were greeted warmly upon arrival and departure. All the staff were helpful and well presented. The room was spacious and exceptional value for money.
United KingdomWalking distance to the castle. Beautiful grounds.
United States of AmericaMe and my partner really enjoyed our stay. We loved the fact that you are so welcoming when it comes to dogs and we wish we bought our little dogs. The breakfast was lovely and so was the chicken curry we had. The bed was so big and it was amazing as we like to have room and that was plenty and the room and bathroom were very clean. The spa treatments we had were a massage and a facial and then were unreal. The pool was also great and the staff were very friendly and happy to help us
United KingdomGreat location with large grounds. pool is very good.
United KingdomLocation ideal. Not far from Calais - Folkstone Tunnel exit etc... Lovely setting
GermanyNice bar to relax in after a long journey. Breakfast was really good. There were two weddings & we were worried about night noise, but we never heard a thing!
BelgiumBreakfast was lovely. Staff were friendly, bed was comfy. Ideal for us for a night away as location perfect.
