Getting to Us

Our hotel is located at postcode CT21 6AE, and can be accessed via either Princes Parade or Twiss Road, depending on your point of arrival. For those using What3Words, our location is: outhouse.abandons.deals.

If you are travelling by train, the nearest stations are Sandling, Folkestone West, and Folkestone Central, all a short taxi ride from the hotel. While Uber services are currently unavailable in this area, there are several reliable local taxi companies. We recommend booking in advance, especially if you are not staying overnight, as demand can exceed availability. Please note that we are unable to provide transportation for guests, as we do not hold a Private Hire Vehicle license.

Staying with Us

We offer a variety of beautifully appointed rooms, and we advise booking early to avoid disappointment. Check-in is from 4pm, and we recommend reserving a room the night before the wedding if you would like access prior to the guaranteed check-in time of 5pm.
