Gidday,
Due to the Air France pilot strike we are catching the ferry tomorrow back across the channel, and in Dover or environs for Wed night. Does anyone have any suggestions for a place to stay, as we depart Heathrow Thurs? Since this is a pilots forum, and because of those scurrulous greedy AF blokes ruining our chances for cheap sub load seats, I felt I'd ask the question, pilot to pilot
Any help appreciated. We just have to kill 24 hours and then find our way to Heathrow, if possible avoiding London. (Yet to research).
Regards
Tony Renshaw

Tony, Look up Dover on www.booking.com which will give you
a complete view of what is available, often at somewhat
discounted prices. The assessments/reviews are totally
reliable in my experience. We use the system extensively
in our European trips. Sorry I am not in that half of the
country or could have offered you accommodation. There are
some interesting places in Kent. Dover itself has a lot to
offer. Canterbury likewise. I have just got back from
staying overnight at the Adobe in Canterbury High Street
(a small choir I am in were singing in the Cathedral on
Monday - quite some experience) That was an excellent
hotel but not cheap.
Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ

Tony,
If you want an extraordinary stay I can recommend "Wallett's Court Dover Spa Hotel". It is about 10 mins from the docks. It is so old that it is mentioned in the Doomsday Book!!
Super food also.
Ask to stay in one of the rooms in the main house if possible.
It is on Booking.com

Geez Tony, I'm SO concerned for you I'm almost sick from worrying.
Fancy having to spend an extra day or two waiting for a free flight home.
It's not fair mate, just not fair!
Heh heh

Hi Tony,
I am sorry to learn that your vacation is being disturbed by this stupid AF pilots strike.
Have a good trip back
