10/10 Excellent

"We stayed overnight so we could get down to Dover. The place was lovely, really clean. Everything we needed for the overnight stay. The complimentary breakfast had a good range and it was early enough for us to get something before we had to leave to get the ferry. Thank you for a lovely comfortable night’s stay."
