Laura United States of America

Michael and his wife were brilliant, friendly and informative. Homely atmosphere and very helpful staff

Nickelle United Kingdom

I really enjoyed the hospitality. my very room was very clean and comfortable! very clean bathrooms too. I was very satisfied. the only negative thing (but it's not such a bad thing) was that I had to struggle before being able to figure out how to lock my door because the lock was very hard. in the end I did it anyway. for the rest I was very well!!

Natascia Italy

Good location, clean and comfortable - Staff welcoming and attentive

John United Kingdom

Thanks to the hosts for a good chat and a splendid breakfast, in particular.

Justin United Kingdom

I had such a warm welcome and the place was absoluteky clean which is not always the case in Dover. The full English breakfast was lovely, private parking is top - to sum it up - there is only one place to stay in Dover!

Iris Germany

Clean room, good bed, private shower and toilet for myself, parking inside of the property for my motorcycle. Very helpful owner. Perfect location for me to catch an early ferry to France.

    Thank you for your request but unfortunately we can not guarantee a check in so early as our check out time is 10am and would also need to clean the room, the only way to guarantee an 8am check in is to also book the night before.
