The Norman Guest House is located opposite Dover Priory Train Station, offering guests a 1-minute walk to the platforms. The property is a 5-minute drive from the ferry terminal and cruise ships, and 600 meters from Dover Beach. Dover Castle and the White Cliffs of Dover are within walking distance for sightseeing.
Rooms & Amenities
The guest house offers family rooms with en suite bathrooms, a kettle, and a TV in all guest rooms. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, and each room includes tea, coffee, milk, and biscuits. The hotel is a non-smoking property with no pets allowed, ensuring a quiet environment for all guests.
Dining
A full English breakfast is served every morning in the Victorian dining room. The breakfast is praised by guests as excellent and affordable, with options cheaper than local cafes. The owners have run the guest house for nearly 40 years and prepare the breakfast with care.
Family-Friendly
The guest house offers family rooms that can accommodate up to 4 adults or families with children. Children are welcome, and the non-smoking environment and lack of pets make it suitable for families with allergies. The owners provide local tips and restaurant recommendations to help families explore Dover.
Parking & Services
Free private parking is available onsite, though the driveway is narrow and suitable only for small cars. Guests can store their luggage before check-in or after check-out to explore the cliffs and castle unencumbered. The owners can arrange a taxi to the cruise port for departing guests.
