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. 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.

    Our room had bed, living area, kitchenette with frig, microwave, dishes etc. We stayed 3 nights so we could eat our leftover meals! We could make tea/coffee. Breakfast was amazingly good, with a nice view from the dining room. Greatly located above city center. Hosts were so nice & helpful. We rented a car to go to Canterbury etc.and there was parking there. We loved everything about it, location great for city center.Dover Museum is free and worth the visit. Castle closed except for weekends in winter.

    Came for a getaway with my family. We had an amazing time here! We had the room and were lucky to have beautiful weather which allowed us to enjoy the view. The staff were friendly and catered all of our requests. Night Manager Mayur was such a brilliant man at receptions All in one man, he made our stay more valuable. It's great that the hotel has nice location and ways of parking system on permit was clearly marked. I would highly recommend Best Western Dover Marina.

    Absolutely lovely room! Great location across from Dover Priory station and a good pub with live music on Saturday night. It's all self check-in which had me a bit nervous, but was so easy and smooth. Felt very secure and it was very quiet. Bed was comfy, great space for a single room. Had kettle in room with teas and biscuit. Also had accessible and super useful £1 luggage locker for before or after check-in/out!

    Perfect location, quiet and clean hotel. Easy to park. John, the Concierge, is who really makes the difference among other hotels. He was so helpful and gave us the best advices to visit Dover. There were many places to visit, some of them we missed because we were just one day in Dover, so we'll come back at some point and for sure we'll choose again St Martins Guest House.

    we absolutely loved the room. So clean and bright. First we loved how comfortable beds but the next day we all had back pains. I believe they dont support that well. The table and chairs ere great and breakfast tray. Really nice accomodation but Dover seemed a little forgotten unfortunately. A little sad considering the tourist attraction of the castle and the harbour.

    We were there on 11 to 12 december. Very warm and professional service of the hotel. Main part is the location of the hotel is fabulous and a gentleman of my country Mr. Mayur was helpful and supporting for all our needs. I'm strong recomending the hotel to all my friends and collegues as a perfect location and service in Dover!!! THANK YOU !!!!!

    Friendly staff, wonderfull service, great place to stay. We took the option to add breakfast at the location. Breakfast was excellent. This is not a hotel. It is a Guesthouse. It became our home away from home for two days. We will stay here the next visit to Dover. Thanks to the owners for the wonderfull service

    Usually, in a hotel review, you'd talk about things such as room size, cleanliness, etc. And don't get me wrong - all of these things were good too. But what really differentiates this hotel from others was John, the Concierge. He was incredibly helpful and very fun to talk to. Would gladly stay there again!

    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.

    Room was simple but comfortable. We arrived late because of traffic issues so we didn't get to see much of the town around the hotel. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Parking was nice since it was just in front of the hotel. Very close to Dover castle which we ended up visiting.

    The room was well equipt and the double bed was very comfortable. The sofa bed mattress was thin at the end so my 12 year old struggled with his long legs. The location is perfect for an early morning dart to Dover port!
