    A bit dated but it’s being picky - everything was great

    Central to Dover and really close to the train station. Property was clean and owners were so friendly

    As information, not a complaint .... The bathroom for the bedroom we chose, was not en suite. The bathroom was keyed and only for us, which was great. But we did have to go down the hall a short way. And we selected that arrangement because the bedroom was larger and very comfortable, which mattered because we stayed there 8 nights. This arrangement worked very well for us.

    The hosts' recommendations for sightseeing were very helpful, and their English Breakfast was wonderful!

    The only minor thing we would say is the WiFi was a bit hit or miss but we were in the room right at the top of the building so it's understandable it might have trouble reaching that far :) everything else was great

    The owners were so lovely and the room was very clean. Very close to tourist attractions in Dover. The breakfast was also very nice :)

    Not a dislike, just a warning if you're the kind of person who always sleeps in on vacation: breakfast is only served until 8:30.

    Our room and connected bathroom were spacious, street parking in front of the house and across the street was free, and the location was a very easy walk to the beach. You can even see the castle from the front of property! The owners were fantastic. They took a genuine interest in our trip, and went the extra mile when they heard it was our honeymoon.

    Lovely hosts, great room, very nice breakfast, walking distance to the town centre, the pier, the railway station. Places to eat are also close by. Our hosts know what it is to provide excellent customer service. They were friendly, helpful, considerate and immediately made you feel at home. Nothing was an issue. They had everything to enable our daughter to eat a gluten free English breakfast. Thank you, that was really appreciated. The room was beautifully made up, clean and serviced daily. We would definitely stay here again.

    The stairs might be an issue for travelers carrying a heavy luggage (but the owner offers to store heavy luggage downstairs' storage room.)

    Location is perfect (next to the train station), and the owner was very friendly and helpful.

    shower of no use because there's no pressure and so just some little water, only the temperature to be adjusted.

    very friendly hosts; quiet rooms in spite of the railway station nearby; very fine breakfast (separate costs of 10£pp).

    The two-person bed was not optimal for us. When turning around you the other person woke up immediately. On the single bed the children slept well.

    Very kind and supportive owners. Unfortunately no breakfast as we needed to leave too early for the boat. Clean and cosy room with enough towels and the option to have a cup of tea or coffee.
