Right in the heart of Whitstable with easy access to all amenities of the town. Lovely spacious and comfortable room, great breakfast choices, and after a few drinks in the bar, only a few steps to the room. Staff were great also.

I was slightly wary of a pub with rooms but can say I’d do it again if as fabulous as this was. The staff & I mean everyone on the team couldn’t have been nicer!! Friendly, helpful, accommodating & made time to chat. Excellent & congratulations as it’s a rarity.

the hotel itself was great, staff were very helpful. They could do with installing double glazing in the building however, as it got quite noisy early in the morning given how close traffic / heavy lorries pass to the hotel. We were in the top floor, but were still woken up by it early doors!
