Castle House Guest House

The Castle House Guest House is homey, charming and comfortable, with a great breakfast. We were four guests in two rooms: me, my son, and my elderly parents. The stairs were a bit of a challenge for my mom and dad, as the stairways are very narrow, but the accommodations were clean and cozy. Okay, so I rated CHGH very high because it was just what we were looking for. It’s a converted home with a wonderful home-feel, right at the base of Dover Castle. That being said, here are the things to keep in mind: - narrow stairwells, can be tricky for lots of luggage. - both big and small rooms, the rooms won’t be uniform in layout. - on a hill, approach to the hotel is on castle hill so the walk is sloped. - it’s not particularly close to the train station, may warrant a cab if walking isn’t an option. What’s great - It’s a lived-in space, the family that runs it is in residence - Breakfast is delicious - It’s a great access either to the castle in one direction or one of Dover’s main streets in the other, with restaurants and shops.

I stayed in a single guest room for 2 nights prior to a cruise. The inn is cozy and charming and the owners are so lovely! The single room is small (as expected) but comfortable with adequate storage, private, and quiet - I slept like a baby. The location is perfect with the Dover Castle a short (but steep) walk away, and town center and beach/marina no more than a 10-minute walk away. The WiFi is great, and the room has everything you need. The breakfast is homemade, cooked to order, and delicious! Sharon and her husband are wonderful hosts!

What a delight! It was charming. All needs were anticipated. The host was extremely helpful and accommodating and made sure all was good. The location was great and the breakfast cooked to order and delicious.

A lovely place to stay, an easy walk from the train station and up to the castle. Also good spot to start walk on the Vera Lynn trail up onto the White Cliffs. And they had no trouble with us storing our luggage until after we had visited the castle and were ready leave Dover.

We enjoyed an excellent overnight stay at The Castle House Guesthouse prior to early ferry crossing the following morning. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, we were unable to enjoy what we're sure would have been (based on other reviews) a splendid breakfast. Despite this, we were kindly provided with a more than adequate pack-up breakfast which was thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated. We were booked into the family room which was clean and spacious but with a cosy feel. Very traditional decor, unlike many places now which are soulless and impersonal. No negative comments to make. Well located for a good pub 70yds away if you require an evening meal. Will definitely stay again when in Dover. Many thanks.

Quintessential English B&B! We are here now and love this place. Free parking on the street out front is super convenient. Lovely old building and rooms filled with antique furniture. If you're looking for a real true old English B&B experience, this is perfect! Upon arrival Sharon is super friendly and makes you feel at home. You climb a typical old charming English building narrow staircase to get to your room. Large rooms with lots of light, comfy bed and linens, tea & coffee, and good toiletries. Breakfast is excellent! As much as possible the ingredients are sourced locally and there is something for everyone, including vegetarian. Location is just around the corner from The White Horse Pub that dates back to 1365 and survived both wars. It's about a 10 minute walk to Dover Castle and about a 20 minute walk to the pier for excellent views of the White Cliffs of Dover. If you're looking for elevators and valet service, go somewhere else, BUT it'll be your loss because you'll be missing a real English experience at a charming B&B with a super friendly host, comfy rooms and excellent breakfast!
