What's nearby

  • Dover, England, is a major port for ferries to Calais, France. The White Cliffs of Dover form part of the English coastline facing the Strait of Dover and France. The cliff face, which reaches a height of 350 feet (110 m), owes its striking appearance to its composition of chalk accented by streaks of black flint. The cliffs, on both sides of the town of Dover in Kent, stretch for eight miles (13 km). June 2017

Liked: Cleanliness, location

Nice accommodation, but needs to be updated.

We did not enjoy our stay very well. It was okay, but not very special. The accommodation was clean. It was small. Just enough space for two adults. We think the bathroom and the kitchen are in need for a update. The garden felt overgrown. Wifi didn't work properly. Surroundings are very nice.

Klein aber fein

Ein gemütliches 2 Zimmer Ambiente im ehemaligen Pferdestall, old-englisch und mit sehr lieben Gastgebern! Nicht allzu viel Platz, die Gegend schönes Kent. Gerne wieder!
