1 / 8voco The Clifton Folkestone
Folkestone, Kent
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A Victorian hotel on the Leas Cliff in Folkestone, where two dogs can share a Standard Room and the pet package adds a pet menu at reception.
voco The Clifton Folkestone dates back to 1864 and stands on the Leas Cliff, Victorian in style, looking out over the English Channel. Here is a dog friendly hotel that sets the terms out plainly: dogs go in the Standard Rooms, two at most, and the hotel's pet package comes with a pet menu at reception around the clock.
Dogs are permitted in the Standard Rooms only, and the higher category rooms do not take them, so the room grade is the one decision to get right. Pre booking is essential unless you take the hotel's own pet package, whose rate covers one dog. Guide dogs and accredited assistance dogs are allowed throughout the property.
Dinner is a steakhouse affair at the Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar and Grill, classic French and English dishes, aged steaks and Sunday roasts, with afternoon teas on the menu and cocktails in the Coral Bar and Lounge, which looks along the Leas Promenade and out to the Channel. Whether the dog can come to any of it the hotel doesn't say, so ask at the desk when you arrive.
Folkestone's restored Harbour Arm runs out to sea as a promenade, a former ferry port now given over to independent food, drink and entertainment. The dog's walking: Folkestone Warren and East Cliff Circular, one of ours, is 1.3 miles away, and Dymchurch Beach, the nearest beach on our map, is 7.5 miles away, with the dog rules on its own page.
