reasonably close to the town but quite a small car park. Owner was quite rude because we arrived before 4pm, although we didnt want to go into the room, just check we were booked in. He apologised and gave us a four poster room, which was no more comfortable than any other bed we have stayed in. Narrow stairs, but the room itself was comfortable. The shower is very small and could do with an upgrade.
Breakfast was ok, choice of cooked or cereal, but breakfast room is very small and squashed. paper towels were used one one morning instead of napkins. All in all no more than average.

This great B & B is conveniently located in Dover. The hosts offer superb hospitality, quaint rooms and very good value.

I arrived unexpected at just on midnight and rang the bell of the Clare House Hotel, the owner welcomed me in gave me a room and even made me a sandwich after I inquired where I might be able to eat.
The room was nice with on suite shower room and tea & coffee facilities
In the morning there was a grand full English breakfast, which was too much for me :)
I have no hesitation in recommending this B&B

We are a family from Belgium who stayed in the Clare House for a week in September. It was a very good experience and if we would ever return to Dover, we would chose again for this B&B.
Since we stayed there for more than a few days, our car got an own safe parking space. Our rooms were clean as well as the toilet and shower we had for ourselves in the hallway.
The English breakfast was rich and more than enough with fresh tomatoes. If we preferred a continental breakfast (just as jammie) with fresh fruit, it was not a problem at all.
The hosts gave us some very good tips about restaurants and sights and were very friendly and helpful. The Clare House is an ideal place to stay when you want to discover Kent by car or train, since the railway station is nearby.
In short, we enjoyed our stay and recommend the Clare House to everyone who wants to stay for one or more nights in Dover.
