"We recently attended a nearby wedding and stayed at The Five Bells, an amazing family-run pub and B&B. The family room was spacious, spotless, and well-equipped, with complimentary toiletries that were especially appreciated as we’d forgotten ours at home. Mary and her daughters were incredibly warm and welcoming, making our stay even more enjoyable. We would highly recommend this lovely place."

Dover Marina Hotel & Spa, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Really helpful staff but the chargers for EV were street based and on hotel grounds, we paid for parking so that we could charge the car but in the end did not use the car park!"

Holiday Inn Express Folkestone - Channel Tunnel by IHG

8/10 Good

"Great hotel just a few minutes away from le shuttle. There is a Tesco nearly opposite. The hotel has plenty of parking. The hotel is clean and well maintained. The room was clean, the bed was too soft and a double (not very big for two adults). The breakfast was excellent and available from 6 am onwards for hot food - or earlier for the cold buffet. They also supply take away cups for hot drinks and paper bags and dishes if you want to eat on the hop. Very good value, would stay again."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in River?

The best area to stay in River, England, is the village centre, particularly around The Green and the High Street.This charming area is the focal point of River, offering a quintessential English village experience.

You'll find everything from a local bakery to a post office, all within easy walking distance.Couples looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway will find the village centre ideal.
