Get an extra day at the seaside with the Dover Marina Hotel

The school summer holidays are nearly upon us - and many families will be heading to the Continent for two weeks of sunshine, sea, sand and sauerkraut.


But organising everyone and getting to the ferry or Eurotunnel terminal in time for the crossing can be a big ask. It’s a stress that can be avoided by booking the Dover Marina Hotel with HolidayExtras.com for the night before.


This elegant three-star hotel is on Dover waterfront, overlooking the harbour and the beach - France can be seen on a clear day. It’s just five minutes from both the ferry and cruise terminals, and 12 miles from the Eurotunnel terminal in Folkestone.


The hotel has been refurbished this year, but while its style reflects its 19th-century heyday, it’s bang up to date - there’s free wifi access in every room. French and English food is served in the restaurant - or get there early and treat everyone to an afternoon tea. In the morning, the price includes a free English breakfast for the whole family.


Anthony Clarke-Cowell, head of product innovation and merchandising at Holiday Extras, said: "Especially if you’re catching an early ferry, it’s a brave man who would drive a long distance the same day as their crossing.

“Rather than starting your holiday stressed and rushed, treat the family to a relaxed, unhurried drive to Dover the day before, a restful night’s sleep and a slap-up free breakfast in the morning.”


Prices for a family room for Friday, July 22, including two weeks’ holiday parking at Relyon Ferry Parking or Relyon Cruise Parking, start from £196. Without parking, the price drops to £136.


Notes to editors:

Prices are for a family room for two adults and two children and may change.
