Introduction
We aim to cater for the needs of all who visit Downsview Guesthouse. The building itself was constructed in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries and its general appearance is of late Victorian and early Edwardian. There are twelve bedrooms (all of which are en-suite) and one luxury apartment.
Six bedrooms are on the ground floor with a further six bedrooms on the first floor with the luxury apartment being totally on the second floor. All of the rooms have recently been completely refurbished together with all public areas. The following statement is a summary of our provisions.

Pre-Arrival
We are situated 1.5 miles from Ashford town centre and 2 miles from Ashford International Railway Station.
The following towns and cities are these distances away:
Canterbury 15 miles, Folkestone 15 miles, Maidstone 19 miles, London 55 miles.
There is a bus stop within close proximity.
Ashford boasts numerous taxi companies and there are also privately run bus companies whose prices are very competitive.
Ashford road infrastructure has recently been modified at great expense and now has the famous ‘shared space’. The M20 motorway junction has now been modified for greater traffic flow and Junction 9 is currently being altered to combine better flowing traffic and a new Park & Ride scheme.

Arrival & Car Parking Facilities
Anticipated time of arrival is appreciated in order to facilitate all requirements. The car park is situated directly in front of the guesthouse and has a capacity to park 23 cars. The entrance to the car park is of an ample size which a coach could easily gain access.    ...continued
