We chose this B&B for cheapness and handiness for our ferry crossing. The online site we booked through did not specify breakfast and we assumed we would have to pay extra. We booked it in the field available on the website. When we arrived we were told they did not serve breakfast because the kitchen was being done up. This... More

Its advertised as a B&B but Breakfast is not included in the price and read the small print with regards to cancellation fees it works out almost as expensive as staying, it wont be on my list of places to stay again.

We had the radiator on at full blast and it was still too cold to sleep. This is really the main complaint as the place was clean, the staff was friendly and there were three parking spots out in the front. We did not buy the breakfast, so I cannot comment on it. But since we used this B&B as... More

I believe in given credit where credit is due and so, the best thing going for this 'Hotel' is the location close to the port! Look around for somewhere else before booking here but if u have too, lower yr expectations for the cost! £35 and breakfast is extra.....and so was any form of heat in the rooms during the... More

My wife and I always stop at Clare house on our way to France. The owner has great local knowledge and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are basic but clean and comfortable and the showers are always piping hot. The full English breakfast is just the job to get you going before your ferry and there is plenty... More

We booked 1 double room at this B&B for 1 night online which included breakfast. On arrival we were told that the online price actually didn't cover breakfast and this would be extra as Booking.com take a percentage turning B&B into B. It was little irritants that spoiled this stay like tea making facilities but no milk to make it... More

Stayed here as i came back home for the weekend. Was a lovely lady whom checked me in and turned out to be the owner. She was kind enough to let me check in early. Fantastic value for money. No question or help was to much trouble. Comfortable and clean and a nice breakfast in the morning which i think... More

Stayed at this hotel for one night prior to ferry journey, only a couple of miles from ferry terminal. Room number 7, on second floor, not a problem. Room was adequate for one night, considering it was Dover, wouldn't have wanted to stay longer though. Owner very chatty in the morning and breakfast was really nice. Not a huge car... More

My husband and I stayed there for one night on our way to Belguim. All rooms have to share one shower and one toilet and felt a lot of people sharing these facilities. As you are on a main road the noise level was very high. It was very hot and we had to keep our window closed because of... More
