Great location, lovely room
Pros:

Lovely room, great location, staff were really helpful.

Cons:

Because of the location in the centre of town there was a bit of traffic noise - to be expected, and they had provided ear plugs, but did keep me awake.

5 stars to the Duke of Cumberland.
Pros:

The Duke of Cumberland is an exceptional location for an overnight stay in Whitstable. It is located just a stone's throw away from the harbour and all the local eateries and the restaurant in the pub itself is great and served a great evening meal and outstanding breakfast. The rooms were very comfortable and spacious with everything you need for a restful stay.
