When traveling it is often easy to pass over local establishments for the larger chain hotels. ||While you may feel comfort in expected amenities, you miss however the charm, comfort and historical value of local accommodations. …

Very nice B&B with a very friendly and helpful landlady and a great freshly cooked breakfast. Very clean and spacious room (though not all the rooms are as big as the one we had). Short walking distance to the town centre. One star deduction on location for no private parking, but there is public parking close by free of charge overnight. We will definitely come back next time we come to Dover.

Lovely B&B with made to order breakfast. Would stay again, next time I am in Dover. Unfortunately, was only in Dover for 1 night (with my small dog - Castle House is very dog friendly!). Had a wonderful night sleep as the bed and pillows were SO comfortable. Great location and yummy breakfast.

We stayed in this cute B&B for one night. We had a nice big room with a comfortabel bed and a sofa. It is all a bit old, but charming. Bathroom was small but okay. Nice host and yummy breakfast. The location could not be better.

My experience here was very nice! The room was very spacious and clean. I didn't want to have breakfast in the basement, to me that was kind of odd. The host was nice, but not overly charming. Probably wouldn't stay again. :)
