Holiday Inn Ashford Central by IHG

This was my second time staying at this hotel, en route from Germany back to Ireland. Like last year, I again needed overnight accommodation not too far from the Eurotunnel terminal and the nightmare that is the M20 motorway, for myself and my dog. Having stopped here last November, I didn’t look any further when booking a hotel this October. I can really only echo my review from last year by saying that I thoroughly enjoyed my brief stay. I had even asked for the same ground floor room not too far from reception, as I find it so very convenient for early morning and late-night dog walking. Although it is “just” a standard double room, it is spacious, very comfortable and well equipped including a great bed and bedding, and fabulous black-out curtains. As someone who hates wetting their hair in the shower, I was again pathetically happy with the thoughtfully positioned shower controls opposite the shower head, at the other end of the large shower tray. Importantly for me as I was travelling with my dog, we were both made most welcome by all the friendly staff, and we took advantage of the riverside walks very close to the hotel (down Kinney’s Lane). The grassy space to one side of the hotel is ideal for early morning and late-night walkies, but please clean up after your dog; there are plenty of bins provided.

Great place to stay when using the eurotunnel. Very easy to get to. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Nothing

The soft bed

Nothing at all.
