Offering a variety of en suite rooms with comfortable beds at reasonable rates, our renovated Victorian town house is within easy walking distance of Folkestone town centre. There are a variety of shops, restaurants and pubs in the area and the harbour, seafront and East Cliff are nearby. The port of Dover is 15 minutes away, as are the cross channel ferry and Sea Cat terminals to Calais, Boulogne and Dunkerque; it is ideal for a stopover en route to Disneyland Paris. Popular with visitors from all over the world, our guest house is the perfect base from which to explore Folkestone and the southeast of Kent, as well as providing easy access to the continent. In just 35 minutes, Eurotunnel can speed you and your car from Folkestone to Calais, a great place for shopping and the gateway to the resorts, historic towns and scenic countryside of northern France and Belgian Flanders. The fast, easy Continental connection is just one of the many out-and-about bonuses of a stay in or around Folkestone. So many beautiful, exciting and interesting places are within easy reach by car, train or bus: the cathedral city of Canterbury and its unique world heritage site attractions: Dover, Leeds and other magificent castles; resorts, must-visit attractions, stately homes and glorious gardens in Kent.

We are situated close to Folkestone Central Railway Station and a few minutes walk to the town centre that has lots of choice of restaruants and public houses
