    Beautifully decorated - tradition yet modern. Perfect location and with free parking. Bedrooms were also a very good size with everything you could need for your stay.

    Although an old building, the hotel is very light and airy. It is beautifully decorated throughout. The room was lovely with a sea view. Breakfast was served in the conservatory which was absolutely beautiful. The food was very tasty with a big selection to choose from . All the staff we met went above and beyond to ensure our stay was pleasant.

    Room was spacious, clean, and had a good variety of tea, coffee and bottled water. Nespresso machine was a added plus. Bathroom was immaculate, mini toiletries provided and plenty of towels. Water was working with no issues, anti slip bath mat also provided. Breakfast was fantastic, and good portion sizes. Location right on beach front. Overall excellent value for money. Staff were also brillaint and welcoming, and polite as we left.

    The Sunday Lunch was average. The access to the car park is very tight and a bit difficult to find.

    The room was very comfortable. The staff were all very competent. Excellent location to explore the area. The breakfast was very good.

    Some details in the room needed attention, the curtains did not close properly and a light flickered in the bathroom, some scuffing and repainting needed. More could be made by the hotel of the proximity of the coastal path.

    The location is excellent, it is on the coastal path so you can walk into Whitstable or the other direction for miles. The restaurant food is good both dinner and breakfast. There are nice small touches such as a small flask of fresh milk provided for tea and electric heaters in the room. The staff are helpful and friendly especially in the restaurant.

    I have no negative feedback.

    we stayed in room 8 which had a balcony and a sea view, the room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast is very good we have stayed here before in a more basic room which was cheaper no balcony and smaller room but just as comfortable. We have only ever stayed one night.

    The operation of the bath & shower needs improvement, extremely difficult to get either to work separately & difficult to run a bath without getting your hair wet from shower. The pillows could do with an upgrade.

    The room & sea view were good, the room refreshments good, bed comfy, very nice breakfast.

    Nothing. Our experience surpassed our expectations.

    The hotel is in a great location with views over the sea and is within easy walking distance of the centre of Whitstable. Our superior double room was a good size and had everything we needed. The large double bed was very comfortable. The selection of teas and coffees in the room as well as the coffee machine were a bonus. The availability of a flask of fresh milk on request for the room was a welcome touch. We chose a room with a balcony and the views were amazing. The restaurant menu provided an imaginative choice for dinner and breakfast and the food was well presented and delicious. The restaurant staff were friendly and the service was excellent. All the staff we encountered from checking in at Reception and throughout our stay were approachable, friendly and helpful.
