Having spent our annual vacation in Southern England we wanted to have a place to stay for the 2 nights prior to our ferry departure. So what we were looking for was a nice B&B close to the ferry port with parking. We found this at the West Bank Guest House. The room was simple, nice and clean and even though it faced the main street we were not bothered by traffic-related noise pollution. The breakfast was served in a cute dining room where the owner gave us the breakfast cooked by her husband. Even though the owners were Greek the B&B had a very British atmosphere. Everything was easy to reach from the location and after a long walk along the cliffs of Dover we decided to stroll down to the harbor at night. We were quite pleased to find that hundreds more had decided to go there to witness the arrival of the olympic fire and large fireworks that same night. The walk down to the water turned out to be quite long, especially since the B&B is uphill from the harbor but the great sights had made up for it.
Another high light was the yard that had been turned into a parking lot. Its advantage was clearly that it was surrounded by high walls and a solid wooden gate and therefore well protected from any potential criminal intent. The down side of the site on the other hand was its tightness. It took all the skill and courage I could muster to get our station wagon in and out after having the landlord maneuver the cars parked between us and the gate away for us. It reminded us of the Rubics Cube on a two-dimensional scale.
All in all we felt good and comfortable there and would stay again.
