All ok had the breaded mushrooms, huge bowl of them ,only a tiny pot of garlic mayonnaise, would of been much better with a tiny garnish ,less mushrooms and more mayonnaise. Then when i was using the hairdryer it litterally blew up in my hand bright flash of electricity, smoke and room plunged into darkness.

Decent, Very good option near Eurotunnel

We chose this hotel due to convenience and distance to the eurotunnel. It is a 7 minute drive. We stayed over on Christmas eve and the atmosphere was amazing. Breakfast was good and included in our room rate. Would return again in our future travels
