It is sold.
- 7 July 2010 17:2259413Just to let you know the old white cliff hotel has been sold, I know who has got it,and it will open again as a hotel,I did know some two weeks ago.
- 7 July 2010 18:0859423Vic yes you are talking there about The Churchill Hotel I guess, formerly White Cliffs, the rumour mill has whispered to me that the Ramada have taken it over.
If and when thats finally confirmed it will be very good news, we need it open again, as things are fairly dead that end of town without it. Lets hope they dont price themselves out of the market like The CHurchill did, everything was too expensive particularly the drinks.

i hope so, they know what they are doing and seem very business minded and give the customers what they want. - 7 July 2010 18:3059436It is true I did tell some of you on Saturday I hope to be there on opening night.

email: dover7@msn.com - 8 July 2010 11:5359512We were told Tuesday at the Chamber Board that it looked as if this might happen. Good news indeed. I do hear, however that DHB switched off the heating, as as a result there was a massive water leak that has caused a lot of damage to a chunk of the hotel. It will need a lot of work to bring it up to standard before it can open.
- 8 July 2010 13:5959525The fire service will want a lot of alterations before the Hotel is allowed to be used again.
- 8 July 2010 17:4559540sounds like you know something more than you are letting on martin.
- 8 July 2010 17:5359542When the Fire service viewed the premises after it was closed they said they would not enter the premises to fight a fire and would only tackle it from outside.
