Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had spacious rooms with a separate alcove for children, offering a fantastic bath with shower over, and despite some noise from the road, it was amazing. The service was outstanding, with friendly and welcoming staff who were attentive to our needs. The location was convenient for our purpose, just minutes off the motorway and close to Dover port. The dining experience was good overall, though some dishes were slightly disappointing. The hotel needs some updates, but the facilities were sufficient for a pleasant stay.
The hotel is set in attractive gardens, offering clean, comfortable, and spacious rooms with Sky TV. However, some room maintenance issues were noted. The service was friendly and accommodating, although some administrative hiccups were encountered. The dining was described as basic but tasty. The facilities were reported to be adequate.
The hotel has a good location, not far from nice staff, and strategically positioned atop a hill. The rooms, although spacious, are in need of refurbishment. The service is friendly and efficient, despite some staff being preoccupied with weddings and naughty children late at night. The dining options are decent but not outstanding. The pub onsite offers a good choice of food. The facilities are satisfactory overall.
