As we had an early morning ferry booked we needed somewhere within easy driving distance of the port. We found the Swingate Inn to be very convenient. It was just out of Dover on a hill in the country. Traffic could be a bit noisy if your room was close to the road. WiFi was available and the connection was... More

Have used this hotel a couple of times to visit relations in nearby Walmer. It's comfortable enough, certainly not flashy. Food is very acceptable. Decor is on the tired side but for 1 or 2 nights stopover, more than adequate

We had our wedding here on the 25 June 2011 and the day was perfect... We was looked after very well and the place looked beautiful on our day. We looked for a small, private wedding and it fitted the bill perfect. As the groom i arrived one hour before it was due to start and was welcomed and everything... More

We decided to stay in a 4 star hotel for the services such a business would provide, we paid £60 per night room only, Friday evening the bar shut at 10.30, Saturday was OK but Sunday the place was shut there were no staff on site at all and we could not get a drink or any food at all.... More

I am sorry that your stay with us at The Swingate was not up to your satisfaction, can only apoligise. However i do feel that your review was unfair as i do remember your stay. We always have staff on site. On this particular night i answered your phone call and met you in the lobby to discuss your disatisfaction... More

Recently stayed at the Swingate and got overcharged by £12.00. Did not realise it at the time and the following morning there was nobody about to complain to. If you stay there do not have breakfast because it was £7.00 worth of rubbish

We stopped at the Inn overnight after returning from a long drive from Switzerland before continuing our journey home. The staff were most welcoming and the food in the restaurant and breakfast was very good and reasonably priced.The rooms were clean & bright , the only downside the water pressure needs attention as loo did not flush easily.

Stayed here for 1 night in July. The Inn was easy to find with GPS. Right on the side of the road which was fairly busy late in the afternoon but the traffic didn't bother us during the night. The Inn looked quite pretty from the outside and the guy who checked us in was very friendly and took us... More

The motel charges hotel prices, imagine you get a four bedroom room for £20 and you will get the level of comfort here. The stair carpet is dirty, the room had a prison window which was claustrophobic making to say the least. The bathroom had peeling wallpaper, the towel rail which was three foot long fell onto my son's head.... More
