Newhaven - Dieppe

[yeoblade]

Trying this ferry for a change tomorrow, good price about £150 return ,I get into Dieppe around midnight any one know if you can park up in the ferry port at DFDS when I arrive. Else it looks like the POI CU pay and display, dont want to travel at all on arrival.
TIA

I've overnighted in the port. Also overnighted on the road outside the Aire, but my van does fit into a parking space. I love Dieppe. Btw, hope you got your 20% discount for over 60s? If you are over 60, of course!

When you get to newhaven change your country on your satnav to France and your POIs will pick up the nearest one to Dieppe

We stopped in Pourville-sur-mer, not far from Dieppe right on the sea front, very quiet and no problems.

You can park right outside the ticket office . Was there in May , no problems

Yes, we've overnighted in their car park at both sides

We usually park at he big retail park 5 minutes out of town at 49°54'32.46" N 1°04'39.78" E

Quite night and free WiFi from a few places though you may need a booster if you want to park anywhere on the huge car park. It's also near the motorway for a easy getaway. There's an Auchan as well with reasonably priced fuel. Whats not to like?

Hello Carol

How is that 20% applied. Is it a discount code or is it automatically applied when the passenger details are put in. Just thought, is it only available over the phone?

Cheers

Phone bookings only, strange really, most companies ADD on a fee for phone bookings.

I've always wondered why it's phone booking only, duh!

Discount can also be had at the booking office if you call in person.

Has it changed?

Don't forget to check prices/times online before you phone.

Ijust googled them and got the 03 number, no extra charge
this one I think Telephone (outside UK): 00 44 330 333 0245 ie dial 0330 333 0245

I use 0800 917 1201. Always answered by one of the pleasant French ladies in Dieppe who applies the discount to my bookings, so I assume the number is forwarded to the Dieppe office somehow, but it never costs me anything for the calls.

I used this number this year and it's a free phone number, so no charge. I also rang a free phone number from France for the return, again no charge.

I parked up at the Auchen superstore area around midnight, had France not won the world cup that night :hammer: it would have been quieter plenty of room around the McDonald's area, The Dieppe DFDS area was pretty busy when I got there.

Coming home at Newhaven, immediately outside the Port entrance on your left is the Railway Club pub, opposite the pub is a bit of waste ground plenty of room to park up and have a pint too.:beer:

I will be using this route again, good value and saves a few miles driving and nice quiet port areas

I've been using this route home for a few years now but never as an outward route. So much easier getting out of Newhaven!

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if the discount for highly valued senior members of society is applicable to any other routes?

I stand to be corrected, but no I don't think so.
