I stayed here with a friend for about a week in the early part of September. Its convenient to the Dover Priory Train Station (about 5-7min walk).The room was pretty standard - double twin with a bathroom. The beds were long enough (I'm 5'9" and my friend is 6'2") but very stiff. We didn't receive clean towels or have our... More

reasonably close to the town but quite a small car park. Owner was quite rude because we arrived before 4pm, although we didnt want to go into the room, just check we were booked in. He apologised and gave us a four poster room, which was no more comfortable than any other bed we have stayed in. Narrow stairs, but... More

We are a family from Belgium who stayed in the Clare House for a week in September. It was a very good experience and if we would ever return to Dover, we would chose again for this B&B. Since we stayed there for more than a few days, our car got an own safe parking space. Our rooms were clean... More

My boyfriend and I are students in London. We came down to Dover for two nights to see the Castle and the White Cliffs, and it was a wonderful getaway. Mr. Amadou was friendly, helpful, enthusiastic, and very kind. He's from Cyprus, and when we expressed interest in traveling there as well, he brought out a guidebook and showed us... More

The service i received from the owner during my 4 night stay was fantastic. He was very friendly with a good sense of humour. He always did the best he possibly could to ensure my stay was comfortable, for example, he gave me directions, provided me with a map, and offered advice on places to visit. When i arrived, i...

After a scratchy start because we were early this B&B turned out OK, The house is old and a little run down but the owner looked after us well even giving us a boxed breakfast because we were catching an early ferry.

We booked this guest house for a romantic weekend and booked the four poster room. When we arrived we were not impressed with the room, it was clean but nothing special. We had limited tea and coffee in the room and had to keep asking for more tea bags, one of the light fittings had no shades on them but... More

Adam was the consummate host -- my girlfriend and I had a very short time on our hands, to enjoy Dover, and he repeatedly made things easier for us. The rooms were very nice and the place is very conveniently located relative to the train station. Highly recommend.
