    The Sunday Lunch was average. The access to the car park is very tight and a bit difficult to find.

    The room was very comfortable. The staff were all very competent. Excellent location to explore the area. The breakfast was very good.

    Some details in the room needed attention, the curtains did not close properly and a light flickered in the bathroom, some scuffing and repainting needed. More could be made by the hotel of the proximity of the coastal path.

    The location is excellent, it is on the coastal path so you can walk into Whitstable or the other direction for miles. The restaurant food is good both dinner and breakfast. There are nice small touches such as a small flask of fresh milk provided for tea and electric heaters in the room. The staff are helpful and friendly especially in the restaurant.

    I have no negative feedback.

    we stayed in room 8 which had a balcony and a sea view, the room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast is very good we have stayed here before in a more basic room which was cheaper no balcony and smaller room but just as comfortable. We have only ever stayed one night.

    The operation of the bath & shower needs improvement, extremely difficult to get either to work separately & difficult to run a bath without getting your hair wet from shower. The pillows could do with an upgrade.

    The room & sea view were good, the room refreshments good, bed comfy, very nice breakfast.

    Nothing. Our experience surpassed our expectations.

    The hotel is in a great location with views over the sea and is within easy walking distance of the centre of Whitstable. Our superior double room was a good size and had everything we needed. The large double bed was very comfortable. The selection of teas and coffees in the room as well as the coffee machine were a bonus. The availability of a flask of fresh milk on request for the room was a welcome touch. We chose a room with a balcony and the views were amazing. The restaurant menu provided an imaginative choice for dinner and breakfast and the food was well presented and delicious. The restaurant staff were friendly and the service was excellent. All the staff we encountered from checking in at Reception and throughout our stay were approachable, friendly and helpful.

    It would be great if there is a small fridge in the room and a handheld shower head in the bathroom in addition to the fixed overhead shower.

    The location is excellent. Tankerton Beach is just in front of the Hotel, and it is within walking distance to the major tourist attractions in Whitstable. Room very comfy and I have a good sleep. Staff is friendly and helpful. More importantly, it is a true dog friendly hotel. They have prepared some dog treats for my dog in the room. Even the restaurant of the hotel is dog friendly, we can dine with my dog inside the restaurant!

    Extremely soft water to wash in. There was a film crew recording a TV series while we were there - I found it rather interesting but maybe some people might see it as an inconvenience.

    Such welcoming, friendly and helpful staff. Excellent breakfast, comfortable large bed, air conditioning, generally "posh" with things working and neat.
