fantastic stay near dover
helpful staffconvenient parkingpacked breakfastlaundry facilities
i appreciated the helpful, friendly staff and the superb food available in the pub. the on-site parking was convenient. when i needed to leave early for a ferry, they thoughtfully provided a packed breakfast the night before. this.
i noticed the laundry facilities listed weren't actually available. this was a slight inconvenience .
