Vaughan and Sharon are wonderful hosts. They made us feel like valued guests in their B&B (Guesthouse). Our room was the attic twin (top small windows in the picture), so lots of steps in this historic building, with a nice hot shower and views of downtown. The location is great too, right downhill from the Dover Castle and very convenient to shopping and downtown Dover. The included breakfast was fresh and delicious, with a nice option for a vegetarian full English including veggie sausage.

The breakfast started at 7 am, so when I asked any packed sandwich, it was simply refused, NO!

When I discovered at around 10 pm that the window is a single glazed, very old, without any sound-thermal isolation, asked another, more quieter room, but the housekeeper said, I can leave if I do not like it. Of course without any refunding.

So it was a very unpleasant, big disappointing.

Great little stay, recommended.

Warm and helpful welcome. Attic room is up three flights of stairs, no lift.
Location is easy to find, close by a good retail park and ten minutes walk to the seafront.
Room was very small with a small chair, but the bed was comfortable with nice bedding and everything was spotlessly clean. Windows opened fully which was nice, there was a fan provided but no air conditioning.
After a good nights sleep shower was good with shampoo and conditioner provided. Yes coffee and kettle also on hand.
Breakfast was superb and quickly served as I needed to leave early.
Overall a very comfortable stay and recommended

도버에 다시 간다면 또 이용할래요~

전형적인 영국 일반 주택이에요. 호스트는 매우 친절 했으며 아침식사를 제공할 때는 어느 호텔 못지 않는 전문가였습니다. 방이 너무 마음에 들었으며 다음에도 기회가 된다면 또 이용하고 싶어요.
참고로 싱글룸은 4층 다락방이지만 혼자 사용하기에 전혀 불편함이 없었어요. 엘리베이터가 없다고 투정부리지 마세요. 아파트가 아닌 일반 주택에 엘리베이터가 있을리도 없고 상세설명에도 써져 있어요.

Spectacular Stay!

My partner and I had the most wonderful time staying with Sharron and Vaughan at Castle House. Our room was large and spacious, with a gorgeous bathroom and plenty of blankets for our stay.

Breakfast was huge and delicious, so we were well fed and had a relaxing breakfast in the 1940’s themed dining room.

You will not find a better place to stay in Dover, and I’ll be coming back again ASAP.

Gem in Dover

Delightful guesthouse with a very tricky and narrow staircase.... Pack light so you do not have to try and haul a big bag up the stairs. The rooms are tastefully furnished with the right amount of comfort and practicality. Lovely little touches to the rooms are welcomed as extra bits of comfort. No hairdryer in my room. The amazing breakfast is made to order and very generous in a very elegant dining room in the basement. The husband and wife team are kind and gracious hosts and are to be commended on their gem in Dover.

Parking was tricky and you cannot leave the car outside during the day between certain hours. There is a paid lot very nearby for daytime parking. Not a big hassle but it took a little bit of working out. Loved the location

Highly recommended except if you do not like steep and narrow stairs - which is part of the charm of staying in an English guest house!

Amazing Dover Vacation

We had an amazing stay at Castle Guest House. Sharon was the perfect host. The room was spacious and had everything we needed for our two day stay. Sharon was aware of the Covid 19 situation and requirements. We had no problems at all. Breakfast included was espectacular, several options of food prepared by Sharon and her husband. Castle Guest House is one of the few pet friendly guest houses in Dover. Our dog also had a great time.

Great Location - Awesome Breakfast!

Good location for visiting the castle and cliffs. Our room was clean, bed was comfy, and the shower was great. Nice pub round the corner (The White Horse). Parking is on the street if available; otherwise it's around the corner and down the hill, not a problem for us, but it could be for the less agile. Sharon made the best breakfast on our whole trip--cooked to order with special flourishes (e.g. soldier toast). We'd definitely stay again.

Castle Guest house is a hop skip and a jump from Dover Castle and in a great location for most of your needs in Dover. This charming Georgian era guest house is a great place to stay. We found our hosts to be extremely helpful and engaging, and their two Boarder Terriers were adorable. Our room was clean, bright and delightfully appointed. The full English Breakfast was very good and gave you a great start to the day. We will definitely go back!
