    We have stayed here before on our way to get the shuttle. We don’t have breakfast as we leave too early but there is a kettle etc to make ourselves a cup of tea. The room was small but adequate and had everything we needed - very clean as always.

    As a family of five we rarely find places to stay in one room. This family suite hit the mark. A great place to stay the night and catch the Chunnel crossing in the morning. We had a lovely breakfast too. Kind staff. I will say that we'd been on...

Property info

You are assured of a warm welcome at our Victorian guest house situated in its own gardens, one of the very few in the area with private off road parking. Over the years the charming building has been tastefully modernised to provide clean and comfortable accommodation whilst still retaining many of its original features. Our room features include a hospitality tray with a selection of hot beverages, flat screen digital TV with freeview, free WiFi and toiletries. We are within 10 minutes of the Channel Tunnel and 15 minutes to the Dover ferries, making it ideal for anyone requiring a break in their journey. Evening meals are available by prior arrangement or alternatively the town centre with its restaurants, bars and clubs and the Leas Cliff Hall are only a short stroll away. The seafront, leas coastal park, children's play area and picturesque harbour are also within easy reach. France is just 35 minutes away by the Eurotunnel, a great place for shopping and the gateway to the resorts, historic towns and scenic countryside of northern France and Belgium. So many beautiful, exciting and interesting places are also within easy reach by car, train or bus: the cathedral city of Canterbury and its unique world heritage site attractions, Dover, the medieval town of Rye, Leeds Castle, wildlife parks, miniature railways, stately homes and glorious gardens are just some of the attractions. The north downs with its rolling hills and pretty villages are on the outskirts of Folkestone. We welcome families, well behaved dogs for a small additional charge and motorbikes, which can be parked safely away from the main car park.

Neighborhood info

The Wycliffe guest house is located in the quieter desirable west end of Folkestone yet is only a short walk to the town centre. The Leas promenade is within easy reach for a stroll overlooking the channel towards the French coast. For guests wishing to eat out there are plenty of good restaurants within a 5 minute walk
