Well situated in town, close to ferry terminal. The facilities were there, kettle, tv, trouser press, clock radio ( broken), hole in the wall, boiler in room! Dusty, 10" cobweb hanging from ceiling, ancient smelly books beside bed, expected much much better from a claimed & displayed 4* accom.En- suite was nice maybe 10 years ago.Nowhere to check out at... more

Management response from
Peter Garstin, Owner

We are sorry you found the accommodation not up to scratch. We are aware of many shortcomings - some of them (such as the boiler in the room - actually it is in a cupboard, not in the room itself) are things we could only change at great expense, as they would need alterations to our Grade II listed building....

We (husband and 2 friends) were so looking forward to our stay before our cruise but were very disappointed. Our biggest complaint was the lack of good housekeeping. The rooms were very, very dusty, like they had not been cleaned in weeks. We did have all the cleaning supplies outside our rooms blocking our entrance. Perhaps that was a hint... more

Quirky little guest house with Restruant and Cellar Real Ale & Wine bar. You would never know it was there just walking past. Doesn't look like a pub. Very nice Ales from around the country. They had "Fog on the Tyne", Nelsons Blood 6% and their "own". Did have a little headache next day but well worth it. Lovely cosy... more

Blakes of Dover has a great location and a very friendly staff. We arrived early, but the staff greeted us and allowed us to leave our bag. The B&B is just down the hill from the castle and close to some nice restaurants for dinner if you choose not to eat there. The room was a little bit dated, and... more

Blakes was exactly as described. It's a small hotel with an associated pub that has a fabulous beer and wine selection and wonderful food. Our hosts, Peter and Kathryn, were a delight -- very personable and helpful. The only smoking allowed on premises is outside on the patio. Our room was mostly filled up with the bed, but it had... more
