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!

Great place to stay and explore the area, nice walks and sea is lovely.
Pros:

We booked a superior room with balcony and overlooking the sea view, the room hit the mark. Bathroom was fine, albeit small. Staff without exception friendly and polite, dinner was good and breakfast also.

Cons:

The weather, however, that was out of their control.

Very relaxing stay in an excellent location with very friendly staff.
Pros:

The room, food and the view were excellent.

Cons:

Some of the waiting staff needed a little more training. For example, when they brought bottles of wine to the table they didn't open them for us. One table had to remind them that the bottle had a cork rather than a screwcap!
