I stayed for three nights in the annexe building, which is being renovated (March 2012). There was a TV in this double room (but with no remote) which picked up 4 channels but the lounge downstairs had Freeview if I wanted more choice. However, everything was clean, there was no major noise disturbance from the road and the bed was... More

I first contacted Martin and Sonia when I was temporary employed with P&O ferries in Dover. Having tried a couple of other B&Bs I was very surprised at the very warm welcome and standard of the rooms in Sandown. Martin and Sonia made me feel right at home ,, the rooms where very clean and a good (large) Full English... More

My boyfriend and I are traveling for the first time and as young travelers this bed and breakfast was amazing! We expected to stay in Dover with not much to do but it ended up being one of our favorite places on the trip! (Dover castle is a must see! As is the short trip to Canterbury). We stayed in... More

My friends stayed in Sandown Guest House for one night, and one of them has a boy studying at Dover College. The guest house is about 900-950 m from Dover College, simply go down Folksstone Road and turn left just before the roundabout. My friends are fancinated by the colours of the rooms. One of us is particularly fond of... More

Not very suited if you are not a well launched couple!!! :-)) Anyway Martin gave us useful info for the dinner and the breakfast we had was super...we... More

We had the "Yellow room", everything was very clean and there is nothing to say against it. The owner where so nice... More

I've stayed in both the original B&B and in the new Annex. It is a fantastic place to stay, and extremely swimmer friendly. The annex is particularly ideal for channel swimmers waiting for their chance to swim with it's own living space to relax in and a kitchen so that you can self cater. Sonia & Martin are great and...

We loved our stay at Sandown. The rooms were clean and comfortable, nicely decorated, and the bath was roomy and had a great tub. Our hosts were welcoming, friendly, and made us feel at home. We shared many laughs together and we would happily stay again. Nancy and Krista

The service is amazing: We were picked up at the station, when we got lost in the evening in the rain and called the landlord for giving us a number for a taxi he picked us up and drove us home, he offered us a place to eat and dishes although it was late in the evening. The breakfast was... More
