Amazing B&B!

Reviewed By Maribel1234

Great guesthouse to stay, Hayley and Deborah were absolutely lovely and super accommodating when we asked to drop off our luggage before check in time. The room was comfy and really lovely, with an ensuite which is what we were looking for. The house is really well maintained and looked after, great location and lovely staff. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and amazing portions too. Would have been nice to know in advance that there were going to be so many stairs to go up/down (we were in the top level - 2nd), but we managed without any issues at all. Can’t beat their prices, book directly with them to get the best rates. Don’t hesitate and book this B&B for your stay!

A lovely warm greeting by Jan. A very comfy, quiet room. Car parked off the road. A wonderful 'all you can eat' cooked breakfast by George. Considering some of the breakfasts we'd had on our travels, this was by far the best in quality, amount and price!! A great location for Dover's amenities. 5 mins from the port. We would DEFINITELY stay there again! Full marks for customer service too! Thank you!

Perfect accommodation when in Dover

Reviewed By Meander366894

The room was perfect, very clean and beds and linen were so nice and comfy. Better than in other hotels / guesthouses I stayed in. Bathroom super clean and we were provided with toiletries and towels. Location is perfect - one street leads straight to Dover Castle and another one leads to White cliffs of Dover. Restaurants were 10min walk from the accomodation. Sara (the owner) recommended few restaurants and the food was great. We will definitely book again when we visit Dover again. Oh, and breakfast was very delicious and big.

Never been so cold for two nights and mornings before in any B&B we stayed in!

Reviewed By JohnRWebb

After checking in and given our very big Raspberry room, the first thing we noticed was it was really cold and in fact the shower room and toilet had no heating in it at all? As it got dark we noticed the radiator in the corner of our room was only just warm, even after turning up the thermostatic rad valve from 3 to max it made no difference to it getting hot. There was a DImplex Oil filled Electric heater in the corner of the room which I plugged in but it was far too small in size to heat such a large high ceiling room so made little difference to stop us being cold. So we had to keep our coats on until we got into bed. At breakfast I told Garry how cold we had been and he promised to sort it for when we returned that night. However this had not happened so again we had a second night and morning in a freezing room and of course the shower room had no heating either. So we didn't bother to mention this to Garry again and after breakfast we checked out and left having as I said never stayed in a colder en-suite room in any other B&B before. We agree the breakfast was very good both in the options available and the portions of the full English. But being left Cold! for two nights we can't accept so shall not be returning!

Best stay we’ve had

Reviewed By 739franziscak

The owners were ever so warm, welcoming and friendly. They have plenty of pamphlets for things to see and do around Dover. Would have to say, we forgot to mention mention that my mum isn’t the best with climbing stairs, so room wasn’t really ideal being on the 3rd floor, but we still managed. Breakfast was lovely and filling, with plenty options of cereal and/or cooked breakfast. Overall, a 9 out of 10 star stay (deduction only for the stair situation, which we take full accountability for)
