The space
Henry Merricks lived in the house from 1946 - 1961. The room is situated at the top of the house, on the second floor. It has a ‘in the clouds’ feel with a large window overlooking the magnificent tree lined hills of the Dover valley, a ‘walk-in’ wardrobe, tea and coffee making facilities, Wi-Fi and hairdryer.

The room has been sympathetically restored, decorated and comfortably furnished to offer you an enjoyable stay and a place to relax. This room is a lovely hideaway retreat! On the top floor landing, just outside your room, we've stashed our favourite reads in the bookcase so even if you don't leave your room there's still plenty to enjoy.

We are within 10 minutes’ walk of all the best things in Dover! We are happy to recommend places to visit and any eateries during your stay so please ask!

Guest access
You're welcome to make use of the secret guest pantry on the floor below, where you'll find a Nespresso machine and fresh milk in the fridge. Let us know if you require any non-dairy milks and we'll leave them in the fridge for you).

During your stay
I'm typically at home during most days, but if you need me during your stay I am contactable through the Airbnb app.

Other things to note
There is free parking available on the road as well as neighbouring roads.

Hello! Having moved from neighbouring county Essex a few years ago, I have relocated to East Kent and have fallen in love with Dover. The house has been a bit of a 'fixer-upper' so has turned into a hobby of it's own, and would love to share the rooms with people travelling to Dover, East Kent and wider. Outside of this I am a bit fan of travelling and seeing as much of the word as possible!
