“Wards Hotel is a family-run Folkestone mainstay with the charm of an Edwardian boutique; its Earls Restaurant clearly stands out, promising (and delivering) traditional British fare that makes a stay here worthwhile. The location is convenient, near both Folkestone's beaches and Dover's white cliffs, and rooms are individually decorated, giving the place a personal touch. I think it makes for a solid choice for those seeking a break on the coast.”
