Here you will find some information when staying at Ashford, Kent.
If there is anything specific you would like to know then please ask and I will do my best to answer for you!!
In this thread you will specifically find hotels in the area of the turning at Junction 9 off the M20.
Holiday Inn Central
Rooms are listed at approx. £69 per night (N.B. This hotel will allow five in a room as long as the youngest one does not require a bed. A forum member booked a room which included a 4 year old that did not need a bed and there was no problem with this)
The Holiday Inn Central also offer a Eurostar package as follows :

Rooms are from £59 per night

Travel Lodge Ashford

Holiday Inn is opposite the Harvester and Bybrook Barn Garden Centre (which also serves food).
All three are with in easy reach of Burger King, Pizza Hut, Frankie and Bennys, KFC, Cineworld, Reins Nightclub and the Beefeater Restaurant, with the Travel Lodge and Premier Inn being in the same vicinity of the afore mentioned. There are no petrol pump here and they can be found 5 mins away at Sainsburys (dont anyone ever say they cant find food in Ashford LOL!) which is just past the Ashford International Hotel.
Also with in reach of the M20 junction 9 is the
Ashford International Hotel (N.B. This hotel will allow five in a room, although a surcharge applies).

This is quite posh and has recently had a renovation but be warned the price reflects this. It does however have excellent facilities including a pool and fitness centre.
In Ashford town, you will find a Leisure Centre http://www.thestourcentre.co.uk/
which has three pools, including a fun pool with flumes. You will be charged £1.00 entrance fee if you are not a member but the facilities are excellent.
You will also find a bowling alley (which is fun but expensive and the food isnt much cop) in town, and for women there is Mecca Bingo (whoot I hear you cheer!)
The Eurostar station is called Ashford International and is well sign posted. It is just outside of the main town and you will easily find it if you follow the signposts (which also lists the McArthur Glen Designer Shopping Retail Outlet so dont be tempted to stop off!) The MGDSRO is also beside Asda but has NO petrol pump.
For the Shuttle, just simply return back to the M20 and follow the signs to Folkestone, it takes about 15-20 mins drive. If operation stack is in order (when the French strike and we get stuck with the lorrys on the M20) you are advised to take the A20 which is just off junction 10.
I will cover the hotels as junction 10 if anyone requires it, but most people seem to be driving then using Eurostar, and in my opinion the hotels mentioned have by far the best situated for this. And you will be spoilt for choice at the food outlets!
