The property was easy to find and located within easy reach of ferry terminal, shops and restaurants.
It was spotlessly clean and the owner had been very thoughtful with little extras not usually found in short stay properties.
There was a fridge in the room and a small kitchenette upstairs with a washing machine and tumble dryer for guests to use.
Dover is famous for the white cliffs which would have been a striking sight to the Romans as they advanced on England. They decided to construct a port at this strategic spot and it has held an important role ever since. Ferries to Calais and Dunkirk cross the English Channel several times daily and some brave souls even manage to swim across.
A Roman lighthouse still stands atop a hill overlooking the port, but is easily missed as it was incorporated into Saxon St Mary de Castro Church as the bellower. It is found within the grounds of 13th-century Dover Castle, one of England’s largest castles, whose multi-level ramparts sit above tunnels where the World War II Dunkirk evacuation was planned.
Another Roman monument is the Painted House whose remains include some of the best-preserved Roman murals north of Italy. Even older is the Bronze Age boat displayed in Dover Museum.
The Dover Transport Museum showcases vintage vehicles, and the Blériot Memorial marks the spot where the first airplane to fly across the Channel first touched English soil. A path runs along the top of the nearby cliffs, while at their feet is a shingle beach.
The Dover accommodation on Booking.com includes luxury hotels with pools, cheap inns and B&Bs near the train station.

Dover is a must see and can be placed on your bucket list. The walk along the cliffs is great and the Dover castle is well maintained and very interesting. Parking in Dover is as per all UK towns a problem and you need to plan accordingly or you can use the local bus services.

We spent a day and a half in Dover and came specifically to see the historical Fan Bay Shafts (National Trust) and Dover Castle (English Heritage).
We found Fan Bay Shafts interesting and very 'genuine' history. Note that it is 45 minutes underground in damp, but not cold, tunnels, wearing a hard hat and head torch.
Dover Castle warrants a whole day or more! Lots to see.
We had time to see Deal Castle too. Good as a contrast, as it is a Tudor fortification. They have tried hard with their pretty good first floor exhibition, but the basement is an underused and under-explained resource which could be much more imaginatively tackled.

Dover needs significant regeneration: the town is tired and not appealing. I have known Dover since 1965 and to be honest it is probably now at its worst, but I can see some small signs of improvement: however everything being demolished is becoming a car park!! Dover needs to look like Folkestone or Deal: more independent and unique shops to attract people. Not the standard chains stores and "cheap shops", which of course have their place but different shops attract curiosity.
The castle remains the main attraction, as does western heights and Dover Patrol memorial. Kirsney Abbey and Russell Gardens provide a tranquil side. the ride through Alkham Valley, always puts a smile on my face.

Dover is a very busy port town but also a town full of interesting history. We loved walking out along the pier, watching the ferries come in & go out, we enjoyed visiting Dover Castle very much, it is well worth putting a day aside to visit the castle and we found the town centre to contain everything we needed for our visit; minimart, chemist, shoe shop, pubs, restaurants & coffee shops. It’s small enough to walk everywhere & plenty to do. There’s a great walk along the famous white cliffs which we ran out of time to do but we’d like to come back one day & see more of this great town.
In all, Dover is a bit rough around the edges but a very interesting town to visit, especially if you like boats, the seaside & history.

Plenty to do in Dover and with travel issues (traffic and train strikes) well worth reducing the stress and planning a day in Dover. Premier Inn offered (online reservation) for Bag stashers. Local museum has amazing Bronze age boat! Dover castle has so many different historic periods covered - Roman lighthouse, Plantagenet castle and World war II hospital / headquarters - allow plenty of time.

Dover is really undergoing a regeneration process, the beach are is very popular and the marina is just lovely. The town itself is very run down indeed and we avoided it this time. We did spend a lot of time walking on the beach and enjoying the lovely atmosphere.
My brother and I came to Dover for the weekend in order to visit the famous White Cliffs, and we spent a night at Maison Dieu Guesthouse. We chose this particular guesthouse for its high ratings. Upon arrival, the hosts were very friendly and kindly offered us a cup of tea with biscuits. The room itself had all the amenities we needed, and a table with a kettle and tea/coffee. The heating inside our room worked very well. We had our private bathroom on the same floor, and everything was clean and nicely organised.
Fabulously well-located hotel, right near to the White Cliffs of Dover (a pretty easy walk, plus climb!) along the front. From our room on the first floor they say we could have seen France, were the weather a little brighter. Suffice to say we enjoyed our time sitting out front at the bar and took dinner at Marco Pierre White's restaurant both evenings. Panoramic restaurant windows allowed great views out to sea and, at breakfast, was a real sun-trap.
We stayed here for one night, and had a really lovely room, and a very comfortable stay.
The owner welcomed us warmly and gave us useful tips for reaching the cliffs and for visiting the castle of Dover. Everything spotlessly clean, nice bathroom, bed and pillows were so comfortable.
Great location, friendly staff and well maintained hotel, perfect accommodation for a very good price. We'll definitely stay again when we are in the area!
We loved that this cozy cabin style accomodation is next to the restaurant. The room was very clean, modern and comfortable. The bathroom exceptional. The food in the restaurant was amazing and the breakfast was totally worth it. It is located away from Dover and if you are not driving you can get on the bus that takes you right to the trail for Dover castle. It was no hustle for us and the bus was every 15 min.
Very nice place with a great view over Dover. Very quiet thanks to its situation far from the centre and the main road. Very nice welcoming by Margaret and her husband who kindly proposed me to carry my suitcase into my room as there are steep stairs to get there. Lovely breakfast. Very cosy, clean and quiet room and entrance locked with security code. Nice little private car park below the hotel.
Great location (just across from Dover Priory) and walking distance to the cruise port and various food places. Comfy and beautifully decorated. No AC but fans were provided. USB charging in outlets. Nice en suite bathroom and shower. Very clean. Staff was extremely helpful and nice. Not a bargain but good quality for price. WiFi was available and reliable.
The guest house is located close to the Dover castle, seaside and the city centre. Our room was quite spacious, with a beamed ceiling, two beautiful windows with outside flower boxes and was furnished in the "old" style. The bed was excellent. We were warmly welcomed by the concierge John, who gave us a great introduction to the city's history.
Great location in town! Short walk from the train station and Dover Castle. Margaret is a gem. She made us feel so welcome, and provided great tips on things to do in the area. The room was clean and we enjoyed the fresh milk provided. Margaret's garden is beautiful and we enjoyed it in the evenings and morning.
The room was so Gorgeous loved the decor and the fact it was a period property!
The cleanliness was 10/10
The Food was delicious! The Breakfast especially was top notch and so was the breakfast host she was very welcoming and couldn't do enough for us.
The Location is ideal to Dover Castle.
Clean and quiet. Great breakfast and a friendly service. For visiting Dover, the guest houses is perfectly located, close to the Dover Castle and the White Cliffs walks and also close to shops and good pubs and restaurants. Thumbs up also for storing safely our push bikes overnight. Thank you!
Because the family room is downstairs it felt like we had the whole downstairs to ourselves. The lounge area is right outside our room, which at first worried me because I thought if there’s people hanging out there right outside our room we saw one other person in the morning.
Classic English "home"! Very nice room, our room had its own bathroom, no AC, but while we were here, the windows did just fine 😀. Within walking distance of the train station and town. Got taxis from town to go to Dover Castle. The hostess was nice and very helpful.
The hosts Margaret and Phillip were very welcoming. Their lovely B & B was conveniently located walking distance to the train station and town. They were very helpful suggesting ways to see the most in and around Dover. I was very grateful for their help and hospitality.
Clean, quiet, home from home. For our engineers working close at Port of Dover it was perfect location. They had previously stayed at the Premier Inn, but they liked this much better and we will book again if they need to return to Dover for work.
good location on the edge of dover-handy overnight pad before the ferry. car-park at the side of the hotel with a reasonable area for an afternoon drink. inside, a pleasant old- fashioned lounge/bar with decent real ale.
Amazing hotel, near dover port, clean and nicely decorated rooms, comfy bed, amazing breakfast, amazing staff, 24/7 reception, one of the most hotels Ive stayed in while travelling for work.
