We rented a very nice room with a view. Walked in and got it the last minute with no reservation and for a great price. The staff were friendly and helpful. Very impressed with the value for money

Went here for a wedding reception. Food and service was very good. We didn't stay over so can't comment on the rooms but the bar area and the outside area were also very nice. Clean and spaced well.

Perfect base for a stay in this part of Kent. Well maintained Victorian hotel providing good value rooms to suit all budgets. We were offered to bid for a suite as an upgrade for only 15 a night and very pleased to win it as it was superb for our stay, basically a one bed flat with lounge, kitchenette and big bathroom. Breakfast made with local ingredients was excellent, both the full English and a kipper.

Also had a very good meal in the restaurant one evening. Service was efficient and accurate, no issues with payment etc. Everyone very friendly and wanting to help. Good location for the town. Five minutes walk down to the sea, a gentle twenty minute stroll into the centre, ten minutes from the railway station. I would return.
