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).

The facilities on site are excellent, including the brilliant games room. However, everything is a little 'shabby' and worn Nd need a little bit of TLC. Also, the cleanliness was just a little below what I would have liked (such as cutlery and crockery was dirty, and carpet in kitchen needs a good deep wash). ##### Doug This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### N Feb 24, 2019 #### Had a lovely stay. Had a lovely stay. Overall is very nice accommodation and location is stunning with lots of options for a morning/afternoon out within 30min drive. Its a lot more spacious than it looks in the pictures. Bathroom and games room a little tired and plates, utensils etc. In the kitchen needed a bit of a clean before using but otherwise very pleasant. ##### N ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Low-Wood-Bay.h5243.Hotel-Information) > > [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pearl Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-The-Pearl-Hotel.h6335144.Hotel-Information) > > [YotelAIR London Gatwick ](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Yotel-Air-London-Gatwick.h18969729.Hotel-Information) > > [The George](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h45140643.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Mj Kingsway, Cleethorpes Seafront](https://www.expedia.ca/Cleethorpes-Hotels-OYO-Hotel-MJ-Kingsway.h24166027.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Peterborough-Marriott-Hotel.h691233.Hotel-Information) > > [Riverside Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Salford-Hotels-Riverside-Villas.h17048432.Hotel-Information) > > [Charming Character Cottage with pretty gardens. 10 Minutes walk to beach.](https://www.expedia.ca/Reydon-Hotels-Charming-Character-Cottage-With-Pretty-Garden-A-Stones-Throw-From-Southwold.h33578552.Hotel-Information) > > [Roydon Marina Village Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Harlow-Hotels-Roydon-Marina-Village-Hotel.h34565759.Hotel-Information) > > [Ebony Cottage is an Escape from the Outside World. ](https://www.expedia.ca/Tenbury-Wells-Hotels-Ebony-Cottage-Is-An-Escape-From-The-Outside-World.h33604911.Hotel-Information) > > [Lobster Pot, Bridlington by Marston's Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Bridlington-Hotels-Lobster-Pot.h27478820.Hotel-Information) > > [The White Hart](https://www.expedia.ca/Lewes-Hotels-The-White-Hart.h3564.Hotel-Information) > > [Kings Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Stansted-Hotels-Kings-Arms-Hotel.h57669296.Hotel-Information) > > [Parkview Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/High-Wycombe-Hotels-Parkview-Apartments.h32463857.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel St Ives](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Ives-Hotels-St-Ives-Harbour-Hotel.h175599.Hotel-Information) > > [The Salt House](https://www.expedia.ca/Ilfracombe-Hotels-The-Salt-House.h35168504.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.ca/Scarborough-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h44509462.Hotel-Information) > > [Pennyhill Park Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagshot-Hotels-Pennyhill-Park-Hotel-And-Spa.h517256.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach House](https://www.expedia.ca/Bude-Hotels-Beach-House.h5814981.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sorrel Horse Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Ipswich-Hotels-The-Sorrel-Horse-Inn.h21089391.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cliff Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bude-Hotels-The-Cliff-Hotel.h4865886.Hotel-Information) > > [YHA South Downs - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lewes-Hotels-YHA-South-Downs-Hostel.h11535970.Hotel-Information) > > [The White Hart Royal Hotel, Moreton-in-Marsh](https://www.expedia.ca/Moreton-In-Marsh-Hotels-White-Hart-Royal-Hotel.h3848404.Hotel-Information) > > [Trivelles Hotels - Eccles New Road](https://www.expedia.ca/Salford-Hotels-Trivelles-Hotels-Eccles-New-Road.h11923793.Hotel-Information) > > [New Park Manor](https://www.expedia.ca/Brockenhurst-Hotels-New-Park-Manor.h7509463.Hotel-Information) > > [Dune View](https://www.expedia.ca/Lytham-St-Annes-Hotels-Dune-View.h39521123.Hotel-Information) > > [Tides Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Pevensey-Hotels-Tides-Cottage.h42241061.Hotel-Information)
