Guest Reviews and Hotel Ratings

Honest Guest Feedback Based on Real Stays
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests often appreciate the clean and well-decorated rooms, with some noting how spacious they are, particularly the family rooms. The hotel's location, slightly outside of Ashford, provides a peaceful environment and nice views towards the coast, while still being conveniently close to the motorway. A large car park is available and while some guests have mentioned the motorway noise when windows are open, many find the hotel quiet overall. The breakfast is generally well-received, and some guests take advantage of the good value half-board deals.

i found the reception staff quite cute and helpful, they answered all my questions. the room provided was spacious and the beds were comfortable. free parking was available , a definite plus. the location proved ideal for accessing the channel tunnel.
The road noise was quite noticeable. I think better double glazing might help reduce it. the noise did impact my sleep quality. it would be great if this issue could be addressed to improve future stays.
