There is a Premier Lodge along the road to the ferries. It can be a bit noisy as there is traffic 24/7.

Hi

Probably your best best is the Dover East Premier Travel inn, which is attached to a Brewers Fayre. I think the web site gives it as 4.4 miles from Dover, but in actual fact it is only a two minute drive down the hill to the ferry terminal. It is on a main road but you won't find it half as noisy as the central one. I don't think you can beat them for family value.

Cheers,
I thought the Travel Inn or Travelodge type hotels would be the most convenient.
I'll get on their site and see whats what.
many thanks

Hi,
the Travel Inns at Folkestone and Dover West would probably be quieter locations. Both would be about 15 mins from the docks. Folkestone has a Brewers Fayre with a large play area indoors , and Dover West a Beefeater restaurant. Hope this helps.

Hi

If you do go for Folkestone book early- it is very popular as it is a stone's throw from the Eurotunnel. Great if you have young kids though, as with it having the play area you can have a relaxing meal and make it all part of the holiday. It can get busy going into Dover though so allow yourself plenty of time- as Bellavista says it is 15 minutes on a good run.

I've booked Travelodge at Ashford.
They had a special offer so I got a family room for £39
Thanks for the replies.
