The reviews for this property are old. I don’t know if the property was sold or what. The woman there was pleasant, but it’s the details that count. The towels could use replacing with nicer towels that are not frayed, and the mattress on the king bed could use replacing. The duvet didn’t cover our feet, and the shower/en-suite was so small that two people couldn’t brush their teeth at the same time. The shower was equally as small/big folks would have a bad time trying to shower. All in all, could use a major update-so much potential but really not what is advertised.

Dover does it
Arriving in Dover earlier than checkin our host was kind enough to let us sign in early. Location was perfect for our arrival by train and departure bia bus. Both were an easy walk as was our walk to town center. Host wad very attentive and helpful

check-in time too late
I really think the check-in time is far too late. Recently I've stayed at a few B&B's, all had a check-in time before 2pm. This one was 4.30pm. an unheard time

Unfortunately the bedding in my nice room was full of bed bugs which has left large bights all over my neck back and arms. This may have been a one off bed disappointing to say the least. Bedding was changed on my request but too late by then. Bedding bites aside a nice place to stay. Unfortunately the bedding issue was the overriding concern. Now a very uncomfortable flight home will be the result.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are so sorry about this and apologise for any discomfort you are feeling. While in the UK during the summer, biting insects such as mosquitos can be an issue, especially when windows are left open during the night. We take your proposed reasons for your discomfort very seriously and will immediately put our management plan in place to firstly, identify the problem. And if it is as you have suggested, arrange and implement a swift treatment of the situation. The comfort of our guests remains our first priority, and we apologise again that you did not have a comfortable stay.

Not sure how this property got 4 on reviews. Check in is 4:30 and out at 9:30. Ridiculous times compared to other places. 3 long flights of narrow dark stairs . Could barely turn around in the shower. Bathroom had closet doors. Noisy and on a busy street. Old furniture and stiff linens. 12” tv smaller than a computer screen. It is within walking distance of town. Owner made a fuss when we asked about breakfast. So we went to the cafe down the street. I would not recommend

HelloCheck in is from 4.30 due to housekeeping. Check out is 10am. We are sorry you did not have a good experience. Our guests usually have a very comfortable stay in that room. We cannot change the layout of the room. You booked the stay without breakfast. I did offer you breakfast where you could pay in cash but you declined. We thank you for your feedback. Take care.

We had a lovely time staying at this property. Sandra was very welcoming and we were fortunate to be able to check in a little early so we did not have to carry our luggage (we had travelled by train from London). The room was bright, cheery and immaculate !!!! Everything we wanted to do was within walking distance. The only thing that was not, was the Dover Transport Museum (worth a visit). However, public transport was close by and the driver was very helpful. On our last day in Dover, our train did not leave until after 5pm. Sandra was very accommodating and kept our luggage safe so that we could explore the White Cliffs without worries (and dragging our bags along). There were many dining recommendations provided (The White Horse, Dino's and Aspendos we would definitely recommend) lots of current information on the area for exploring. Highly recommend staying here, it was fantastic !!!!!!!!!!!!

A great find, would definitely visit again
Lovely traditional B&B, the proprietor was friendly and courteous and made us feel very welcome. The room was clean, comfortable and lovely and quiet considering it is on a busy road. The bed was very comfortable and the room had a nice en-suite. The room was beautifully decorated with beautiful bedding. Our only observation was the TV was tiny!! but we were weren't going to watch it anyway as we were in dover visiting friends.

Very central and easy walk to Dover Castle. Owner was very friendly and tried very hard to please. Breakfast was excellent and bed comfortable. Only disadvantage was climb of stair to second floor as we are both in late seventies.
