“Lovely Guesthouse with great views over Folkestone”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2010

We stayed overnight at Crete Down Guesthouse on our way over to Belgium. Our room overlooked Folkestone and was so comfortable,we had an ensuite bathroom, kettle for making tea and coffee, fully cooked breakfast which is perfect to set you on your way to Europe. Continental breakfast is available with cereals and fresh fruit juices.
We accidentally left to some clothes behind, Henryka sent us a email to let us know so we could collect them on the way home.
The guesthouse is situated 5 mins away from the Channel Tunnel.
Henryka's hospitality made our stay perfect. I would recommend Crete Down to anyone who is going to Europe for a perfect nights stay.

“Home from Home in Folkestone”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 June 2008

This year was the second time we had stayed at Crete Down bed and breakfast the first time was two years ago. This time Henryka greeted us with a big hug!
Our room was the one from our previous visit overlooking Folkestone, and as usual everything was spotless. The super king sized bed was a real dream to sleep in. (We were the first to sleep in it two years ago).
For anyone staying here the hospitality is first class and for us it was like coming home. In the evening we would be invited to join Henryka in her lounge, chat to her friends or other guests, have a night time drink and biscuits etc.
Breakfasts are good too. A good choice of cereals plus a full English breakfast if you want it.
If you ever stay there try and see the garden - it is like a park with lots of flowers and shrubs.

“A friendly stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2008

people found this review helpful

We wanted a place to stay before going through the Channel Tunnel the following day. We chose this place and was really pleased with it. It is about five minutes away from the Tunnel and with sat nav easy to find. It is out of Folkestone on the top of a hill overlooking the town. The bedroom was of a good standard with a really comfortable bed. The bathroom was small with a toilet, wash basin and shower. There was a TV and facilities to make yourself a drink. The breakfast was good with a choice and the owner was really friendly. We would definatley stay there again. If you want a place near the tunnel then this is it.

Stayed January 2008
