“This pub with rooms is more than convenient for the Eurotunnel and puts you in a prime position for Hythe. I especially appreciated the care taken with food, from breakfast (with gluten-free options) to the popular pies, and the particularly helpful staff went beyond expectations, even securing bicycles. For a wedding reception or a comfortable overnight, this spot has a genuinely welcoming atmosphere.”
