Our
breakfasts are always a treat with our home produced seasonal fruits, jams and
juices, served with a wide choice of cereals and yoghurts, followed by an AGA
cooked breakfast normally comprising local sausages, bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms,
potato, fried bread and eggs from our own hens, but we are only too happy to accommodate
any special requests or diets.

rooms now have free broadband internet access
Our
location is ideal for exploring some of Kent's prettiest villages, many historic
buildings, places of interest, traditional seaside towns and beaches and of course
the many tourist attractions the area has to offer. |  |

are also a wide range of local amenities close by, including many Kentish pubs,
restaurants, sports facilities and golf courses. We

and close to many signed walking and cycling routes, with secure storage of bicycles

horse racing at Folkestone Racecourse and motor racing at Lydden and Brands Hatch.
