  • Dover, England, is a major port for ferries to Calais, France. The White Cliffs of Dover form part of the English coastline facing the Strait of Dover and France. The cliff face, which reaches a height of 350 feet (110 m), owes its striking appearance to its composition of chalk accented by streaks of black flint. The cliffs, on both sides of the town of Dover in Kent, stretch for eight miles (13 km). June 2017

Epic British cottage getaway

Tasteful restored, magic moments throughout the inside and outside. Would highly recommend if you want the joy and charm of a rustic getaway blended with modern convenience. Spotless inside, really hoping to come back again someday!

Lovely historic propery

We enjoyed our stay very much. The property is very old with a lot of character. Low ceilings so watch you head if you are tall. The fireplace was a nice touch. The heating worked very well and house was very cosy with or without a fire. Internet conn

Communication from host awful, does not respond to issues. Two beautiful fire places but unable to light as nothing left to light with! Dirty pots that had to be washed befire could use, thankfully i took my own roasting trays as the trays there were well past their sell by date! Not enough pots so need to take your own if wanting to cook. Towells too small. Cottage overall is nice but not recommended for tall people as ceilings very low.
