The host Alex is a great all around person. He greeted me and walked the property with me. In addition, he provided me with great information about the Dover Castle and how to reach it. The castle is conveniently located a 20 minute uphill walk from the house.
Another great convenient item is the Train station is an easy 20 minute walk through the city center.
I highly recommend the Church Hill House. Also, Alex cooks a great breakfast.
Super friendly staff who were easy to converse with, the inn was well maintained with vintage roots and a splash off modern. The food was excellent. On the listing it does say they have laundry facilities, but after asking it turns out they don’t. So be aware if that is a need. I would surely go back again if I am in the area!
Great place for an overnight stay in Dover. Especially, if Dover is your cruise port. A great location if your intention is to spend a few days exploring Dover.

What a cozy, unique, and magical place it is. Clean, comfortable, quiet, and easy to find. The staff is super friendly. We absolutely loved it and can’t wait to go back!
My husband and I stayed at this hotel last week. It is run by a kind and friendly woman went out of her way to make our stay superb. The room was spacious and well decorated. Even though it is an old home, the bathrooms are up to date and it was clean. It was quite and very comfortable. We definitely recommend having breakfast at the hotel. We would definitely stay here again if we ever return to Dover.
Margaret was incredibly helpful in providing suggestions on how to navigate the city and provided excellent suggestions for restaurants.
The morning breakfast was delicious and plentiful.
Our room was very spacious, the couch was very comfortable and the bed was fantastic. After a full day of walking around Dover, this was a very special retreat. The views are just amazing.
We will plan a trip to spend more time with Margaret.

Breakfast was, indeed excellent. The room was tiny and un-airconditioned, but the mattresses were good and the shower hot and strong in the similarly tiny bathroom.
This is the Best Best Western I have ever seen. It felt like we were in the Victorian period. No A/C in guest rooms, ocean breeze through windows and fan were just fine. The staff was amazing arranging dinner and taxis since there in no Uber/Bolt/Lyft. Hanna especially was beyond helpful and accommodating.
Another room found on the fly based on reviews and was a great find! Room was clean and comfortable. And although the bathroom was shared, they provide robes for your comfort. Breakfast is included & was cooked perfectly! Staff is friendly. Recommend staying here if you’re sightseeing around the Dover area.
