Dover Marina Hotel & Spa, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast in the cafe was outstanding. The salmon avocado toast with egg was terrific Good location with easy walk to city centre."

Dolphins Leap, St Margaret's at Cliffe

10/10 Excellent

"What a wonderful stay at an incredible property. We loved it and our dogs loved it. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be returning and sharing this stunning property with friends and family. .can't wait to return. Was lovely to meet the owner James who was an absolute gentleman. Thanks so much I have a travel business and am lucky enough to stay in some of the best hotels in the world and this place was on a par with some of them. The cottage was really beautiful but the grounds are something else. Don't hesitate to book this place. You will not regret it!"

A lovely, modern apartment just 350 yards from the beach.

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely little cottage in walking distance to the beach, hiking, white cliffs, pub and a garden with a tea room. Very comfortable."

Pip's Lookout, St Margaret's Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Pip's Lookout is the place where I had a unique experience. It is the place with the most beautiful sunset and the most spectacular sunrise. I experienced the feeling of being at home and I was happy to be part of the story of the place. I would have loved to meet Pip and I am grateful to have met his daughter, whom I want to thank for her elegance, delicacy and emotion. For me it was the most interesting reality of a dream."

48 The Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely accommodations within walk to coastal path. Restaurant, pool, store on site with another pub nd store within a short walk. Highly recommend it."

Little Nest, St Margaret's Bay

10/10 Excellent

"The cottage is in an ideal location, with fantastic views out over the sea and over to France, and you can go for walks from the front door without needing the car. The Smugglers Inn and village shop are within walking distance and both are excellent for food and supplies. You can also walk down to St Margaret’s Bay to the beach and the Coastguard pub for food, also excellent. We had a lovely holiday and I would recommend this as a place to stay."

2 bedroom accommodation in St. Margarets at Cliffe, near Dover

8/10 Good

"Flat was lovely but the garden furniture was a disappointment- very dirty."

6 bedroom accommodation in St Margarets Bay, Dover

10/10 Excellent

"We love staying at The Cottage! It is a home away from home that feels comfortable from the moment you walk in. We have stayed several times and have never been disappointed. On this recent trip, we parked our car, unloaded our bags and didn't get in the car again until we left. We walked everywhere, ate at the cafe/tea room and at the Coastguard Pub as well as bought simple food for easy meals at home in the village shop. We stayed in a different bedroom than we normally use, because it had a TV for some late night comedy or news as we readied for bed. The wood burner in the lounge kept things cozy and warm. We always wish we could stay longer when we stay at The Cottage. Henry, the host, is always so friendly and helpful. We can't wait to go again and are very grateful to be able to spend time in this lovely home!"
