The public areas are run down. The room was a stark contrast to the lobby. Bright, clean, spacious. Beautiful view out to the water.
The staff was friendly and very warm. Easy street parking around the corner. Lots of dining options near the area.
The Inn was a rare find. Perfect location between Dover and Canterbury. Lovely restaurant, lively people. Restaurant had good food and a great atmosphere.
Well appointed room. Private and cozy. Clean and modern.
Staff were friendly and very helpful.
Convenient bus into Dover or to Canterbury. Would have liked to stay longer!
The actual room is beautiful and we would have been thrilled to stay there on any other weekend but unfortunately on our weekend the pub was closed for a private function. Apparently we were sent an email, I didn’t see this but maybe the rooms shouldn’t be sold if you can’t eat or drink in the pub. The pub is fairly remote and we had to call around local pubs and restaurants and found somewhere to eat about 20 minutes away. We just wanted to chill for the weekend and not drive so it was quite disappointing really
