We stayed here prior to Le shuttle, our room was recently decorated, clean and quiet and at a great price. The staff were helpful polite and cheerful. We paid an addition £4 for the on-street parking after 8am. We’d use Westward Ho again

Excellent Budget stopover. Clean, warm & good location for Eurotunnel. Reception member Jay checked us in (we called 20 mins prior to arrival as instructed) & gave us all the relevant info - very friendly & helpful. Dog friendly. We’ll be back 👍

Comfortable bed in small room with a great seaside view and a cold breakfast for a very decent price, comparatively. Downside was that the TV didn’t work, veggie options for breakfast were minimal and the building was a bit musty

Good location and size of room but in poor condition. The communal areas are poor too. Staff was good but breakfast was more of something very basic and no cooked items. Could have done the interior properly as they have few many properties and need looking after urgently.

Convenient B&B prior to channel crossing. The hosts were friendly and accommodating by allowing us checking in very late by midnight.

Great little b and b with very friendly hosts. This is not a five star hotel, but had loads of lovely touches like tea and coffee, water, chocolates etc. Comfy and very clean, and they allowed us to keep our (clean) bikes in the room for the right before our ferry the next day. Breakfast was lovely, and did exactly what it said on the tin. Quiet area, albeit on a slightly less salubrious end of town - but we walked to and from town with two young children along the sea front for dinner and had no issues at all. Highly recommended.

Better than expected
Was definitely nicer than expected. Ive stayed at much worse hotels. Polite staff, clean room and we slept well. Plenty of tea and coffee facilities. Maybe the beds and mattresses could do with an update, but they were fine overall. We had breakfast delivered to our door in the morning as we were leaving early, good little selection and good quality food, we didnt eat the yoghurt tho as they were warm.
