“This old coaching inn in Boughton Aulph seems to have a lot of local charm, especially the lively bar area. Expect an authentic, slightly quirky vibe, with good food and friendly staff. While some rooms might need an update, the overall feel is welcoming, particularly for a short stay near Folkestone.”
