Der Platz ist mit seinen Terrassen sehr übersichtlich gestaltet. Trotz seiner Größe hat man gar nicht das Gefühl, dass er so viele Plätze hat. Die Sanitäranlagen waren einwandfrei sauber!

Be a conscious traveller
How much CO2 will you be emitting with this trip? We calculate that for you (departing from Dover). Make a conscious choice by choosing greener transport options and decrease your CO2 emissions immediately.
How are CO2 emissions calculated? We base our calculations on a family of four persons. We calculate the following amount of emissions per person:
Train: 0.03 kg per kilometre
Car: 0.137 kg per kilometre
