How it works
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to Sopwell House, your driver meets you at the Dover Cruise Port passenger terminal with a name board, your sailing tracked. Leaving the hotel, the car waits at the door: the manor’s gravel front takes cars directly; spa guests can ask to be collected at the Cottonmill entrance instead — just tell us when booking.
Luggage handled
Between the Sopwell House lobby and the quay, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
Both directions, one price
Sopwell House to Dover Cruise Port or the reverse — the fixed fare from £224 holds either way.
Met in person
A named chauffeur with your board at Dover Cruise Port, and a car at the door at Sopwell House — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.
Cars & capacity
