Booked this B&B after seeing some good reviews on Trip Advisor. While the B&B itself was very nice, I found a couple of things that would have me chosing another spot next time. It was extremely hard to find a park, after searching for a while to find the B&B. And while the bed was very comfortable, the bedding for... More

The photo on TA does not do this establishment any justice. A quirky front bar with barrel stools, and apparently a filming only this morning for a drama called The Tunnel, a very modern and popular restaurant. We arrived after completing the Folkstone 10K coastal run just before midday the room wasn't available until 3pm and this gave us a... More

We had a lovely room overlooking the sea with our own private deck. There was a secure place to lock our bikes, the bed was very comfy, nice toiletries provided and excellent evening meal and delicious breakfast. A perfect place if you are cycling National Cycle Network route 2. Good value and a warm welcome. Perfect at the end of... More

Beautiful views and comfy rooms with a perfect setting. Breakfast was lovely. Will go back soon. Would be lovely in the summer. The room has several personal touches! Great walk along the sea front. Good local pubs

Stayed as a single for one night only. Upgraded to the room at the top, or should I say rooms as there is a lounge room the other side of the hallway, not that I needed or used it on this occasion. Still work in progress I understand - there was no wardrobe. Perfectly pleasant stay on a filthy night... More

The rooms are actually in a terrace house attached to the hotel and whilst the entrance to the building is a little 'bleak' the suite is well furnished and very clean with one of the most comfortable beds I have encountered in many a hotel. The Inn is just that...a locals pub with a friendly feel. Dont expect luxury reception... More

This was a very last minute choice as the professional photos did not exactly sell the hotel. We had no idea we were going to be right on the seafront which is a lovely promenade with a pebble beach. Also we thought we were going to Folkestone, but in fact Sandgate is a quaint tiny village just past Folkestone and... More

Stayed overnight after returning from Europe. Only 10 minutes from the tunnel. Lovely traditional old pub but behind that a first rate restaurant where we had a great evening meal, top class, good value and service. The rooms where in an adjoining house, right on the seafront and fitted out to a very high standard. We had the channel suite... More

I have read a few of the previous reviews and some don't read well. I think they are a bit misleading. We stayed at the Inn 2 nights and had a very enjoyable meal on the friday night. Would loved to have stayed another night and dined again on the Saturday too but both accommodation and restaurant were booked out.... More

Stayed here twice within 10 days. First time we were in the cottage ground floor, but the second time in the top floor bedroom which has its own sitting room and wonderful channel views. Both times the reception was very warm and friendly form both hosts. Rooms exceptionally well appointed and comfortable. Very clean. Wonderful breakfast in the dining room... More
