An Ancient Port of Call

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.

    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.

    Pandora helped us when we changed our dates when booking via e mail. When our luggage was left in Houston and they said they would deliver Pandora, our host made sure she was available so we could get out and see Dover. Plan on staying here again. Breakfast was delicious with little touches, our Grandson said it was the best hot chocolate and his favourite place. Loved the pool and the Summer house. Such a welcoming host. Thank you Pandora for making us feel so welcome.

    We had a warm welcome when we arrived at the hotel and very nice polite staff Mayur, He was friendly and professional. The location is good with plenty of bars and restaurants around. The room was nice and the bed comfortable. My only gripe, and it is a small one, was you can't open a window in the room due to old furniture, It was scary. Also I wouldn't recommend the breakfast, price is almost £15 Pp. All in all though this is a nice hotel and good value for money.

    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.

    Hotel is across the street from the train station. Took the train from London St Pancreas station. After checking in, we walked into small Dover town for dinner and found a grocery store to buy wine for the cruise. Next morning we walked to cruise, port a mile in 30 minutes, but we have light luggage. Always recommend you book a hotel the night before you cruise within walking distance of port.

    I have been 1 night in this hotel during Easter weekend; the location is amazing just in front sea side and short distance from the city center and station. The room was nice, clean and big enough with a great view on the sea side. All the stuff very kind. The hotel has also a SPA that is included in your stay with sauna, steam and jacuzzi. Overall very recommended for your stay in Dover.

    Everything! The room was quite comfortable and extremely clean. The guest house was very quiet. The owners were wonderful and went out of their way to accommodate us even down to driving us to our cruise ship when we couldn’t get a taxi! The breakfast was hot, delicious and plentiful! they even served seconds to my husband who was absolutely loving the food!

    Nice little Guesthouse in Dover England. The owners and their family are super nice and friendly. They went out of their way to make sure our stay was exceptional. They even arranged for a town car to get us to our Cruise Ship. The traditional British Breakfast was outstanding and even though it was extra it was well worth it and not that expensive.

    We really enjoyed staying in Hubert house, even for just couple of days. The room we stayed was wonderful and the hotel itself has the great location: 10min to castle and 5 min to the center and to the Dover beach. Highly recommend to solo travellers and couples. The staff was so kind and welcoming.

    The property is in great location for Dover ferry port and is a much better price than any other hotel/hostel in the area. As we were only staying for about 12 hours we weren’t prepared to pay the ridiculous costs of some of the other places.
