A beautiful hotel that I would highly recommend.
Pros:

It was a very welcoming experience from the moment you walk in. The hotel was clean and had beautiful interior that made you feel relaxed. The restaurant and rooftop bar were lovely and offered delicious food and good selection of drinks. The bed was very comfortable and room was very spacious. Private parking on the property was also a huge bonus.

Cons:

I couldn’t fault it.

We enjoyed our stay in Thanet, revisiting for the first time in 45 years
Pros:

Location is excellent. Breakfast was good but limited. The room was spacious and comfortable..

Cons:

We found the bedding overwhelmingly hot and ended up removing the duvet filler. Most hotels are the same. Sheets and blankets are more versatile but obviously not wanted by proprietors.
