Lovely hotel for a short break. Would have no hesitations about going back.
Pros:

Staff were excellent, friendly and efficient. Clearly worked well as a team. Restaurant and bar tables cleared promptly Seating in the communal rooms (lounge and bar) was comfortable with good views of the bay.

Great location, fantastic accommodation and food. Would highly recommend
Pros:

Fantastic location, easy walking distance in to Whitstable town centre. We booked an evening meal in the hotel's restaurant, service and food was fantastic. Equally, the breakfast in the morning was excellent and cooked to order rather than a buffet. Overall a great location, fantastic accommodation and food. Would highly recommend.

A great location near to Whitstable.
Pros:

Great location within walking distance (1mile) of Whitstable, great views over the sea, lovely room for breakfast with excellent staff.

Cons:

The breakfast wasn’t buffet (although you could ask for fruit and cereal) and the bacon was hard and streaky.

Pros:

A pretty, well presented hotel. Exceptionally helpful reception staff, who were always available.
I stayed in room 7 which opened onto a balcony overlooking the sea. A very comfortable bed.
Great location for walks into Whitstable and Hern Bay.
A very enjoyable stay.

Cons:

One thing I would mention is the shower. The bathroom was lovely, but with the rainfall shower head, there is no way of turning on the shower without getting soaked with cold water!
