Thoughtful Hospitality in a Charming Setting

My stay through Hotels.com was lovely. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by the owner, Mike, who personally showed me to my room and handed me the keys. He was gracious, kind, and quick to respond to any questions—something I truly appreciate when traveling. His yard is beautifully kept, with lush greenery and blooming flowers that offer a peaceful spot to enjoy a cup of tea or quietly plan the day ahead. There’s a calm, welcoming atmosphere that makes the space feel cared for. The pricing was very reasonable for what was offered. I’d absolutely stay again.

Prima voor een paar nachten!

Erg aardige gastheer. De badkamer was klein maar de kamer groot waardoor het onhandig was dat de tv zo klein was. Prima locatie want op loopafstand van het centrum. Handig dat je ervoor gratis kon parkeren. Aanrader voor enkele nachten.

Great inn / very clean / highly recommend!

This is a very nice inn, close to the train station. My wife and I stayed here only one night; the proprietors were very kind and directed us to a British pub for dinner which was wonderful. The next day we hiked along the cliffs to Dover, enjoying the amazing scenery. Highly recommend!

Great location to walk around Folkstone town, close enough to be walking distance but far enough away to avoid the noise of the town late nights. Has some off street parking and for me safe motorcycle parking was provided within the garden which was great. Nice rooms with facilities you'd expect.

Quick Stop Before Channel Crossing.

Only a very quick stay for us as we got in late and departed very early and missed breakfast, so I can't comment on the food. The owners were both incredibly welcoming and even called a local pub on Thursday night to check if they could keep the kitchen open for a few extra minutes whilst we walked there (The British Lion.) The building is a relatively old one, hence no lift as far as I knew which is fine for us, but people with mobility problems should mention on booking. Our dog was also made to feel very welcome. From the limited contact we had, I got the impression that the owners would go the extra mile and do their best for customers. Again, for one short night I didn't check and don't believe there was aircon and it wasn't really necessary on our night. When we next head toward Dover for a channel crossing, we'd be more than happy to stay again. It makes a big difference when you are made to feel welcome by the hosts. Perhaps we take an extra night to spend a bit more time to see Folkstone?
