We have been visiting there for the past 18 years, and we've yet to have a bad tasting meal. Not terribly atmospheric, but the food is simply gorgeous, if you like tasty, spicy food.

I just love the idea of walking out to the cafe, above the sea, with beautiful view along the beach and out to sea. They serve great breakfasts, all enjoyed with large glass windows, to enjoy the view.

Best views across Dover harbour, and usually a warm service. Food can be occasionally hit and miss, but views make up for this! Can also just have a drink or cream tea on the balcony - simply beautiful!

This is a much loved and extremely popular Dover landmark. Don't miss exploring here. It can get very busy during peak periods, so plan well. Something for every age here, and you can explore the wartime tunnels.

Entertainment & Activities
A fantastic escape room, taking place in the actual original Canterbury police station, within the ancient Westgate tower. We have done several but this is our favourite!
I can also recommend the other Canterbury rooms, and both the rooms in Margate!
