We chose Wycliffe as it had large rooms and we were a group of 2 adults 3 children travelling across to France. We were not disappointed and stayed here again on our return journey home. Very spacious, clean and warm rooms, plenty of towels and bedding. Welcoming and attentive hosts, beautiful breakfast in the morning. Great stay both times! Would recommend for a cozy stay and very close to channel tunnel

This guest house has perfectly met our needs, both as a family group and as a single traveller (plus pet). The hosts are welcoming and most helpful. The rooms and shared areas are well furnished and equipped and beautifully kept. Very good home cooking well presented and well served. A calm and quiet location with easy access to parking, green space and the sea-front. Good value and highly recommended.
