Dover is a seaside destination that is going places. The town boasts some beautiful walks along the National Trust land atop the iconic white cliffs, fabulous eateries such as Marco Pierre White's restaurant and The Dover Patrol restaurant & bar, with its balcony overlooking the lovely pebble beach, perfect to enjoy a bite to eat while watching the cruise ships and ferries come and go. The jewel of the town's crown is the wonderful Dover castle which is English Heritage's second most visited attraction. If activities on the water are your thing, there is a sea sports centre, yacht club, sea safaris, organised sea fishing trips, and a brand new marina to berth your pride and joy.
Land-based leisure time can be spent at the silver screen cinema, roundhouse theatre, or perhaps some retail therapy at the new St James retail park, Stembrook Lane shopping arcade, or DeBradelei Wharf outlet store. The area has some great schooling options including an Ofsted 'Outstanding' Girls Grammar, an Ofsted 'Good' Boys Grammar and the independent Dover College for day students and boarders. The area is ideally located to hop over the channel to France by ferry or Eurotunnel and is also ideal for London with high-speed trains from Dover Priory station taking as little as 1 hour 5 minutes.
Owners Remarks:
The West Bank Guest House has been running as a bed and breakfast going back as far as the 1950s. It was originally one part of the now large imposing detached Victorian property, and after being presented with the opportunity to purchase the next door, it now consists of 239 and 241 Folkestone road .My wife and I have had the privilege of running this establishment in its current state for 25 years after leaving London in search of independence and a healthier environment in which to bring up our 2 children. It most certainly has fulfilled all our expectations and more.
We hope that the next owners will enjoy it as much as we have with the benefits of the local area and the business of providing accommodation for travellers from all over the world of which many we now consider as friends.
