We loved this hotel. The situation was great, staff helpful and friendly and the view to die for. Unfortunately, on the first night a group of campervans and parked in the car parking spaces at the front of the hotel overnight and partied until 2or 3 am so it was very difficult to sleep. Not the hotels fault and I guess a risk you take at a seaside resort. Breakfast was great and cooked to order and the bar staff very helpful indeed. Thoroughly pleasant stay.

Beautiful stay at Whistable, really enjoyed the property and the area. It was very hot when we stayed and no air conditioning in the room so we did have trouble sleeping, however the place is gorgeous and such a fantastic view. Staff were excellent too!

Great location and service
Great location, friendly staff and lovely breakfast included in our stay. It was very hot when we stayed and the rooms didn’t have any form of fan or air con so it got very stuffy in the night. Other than that, it was the perfect stay.

Unfortunately the chief was missing for 2 nights. Also they had not made any plans for my being lactose intolerant. We had a lovely view from our room. Breakfast was good but no alternative for butter. Evening meal again was not as we hoped. Staff where very very busy but did all they could

Beautiful views in a great location
Fantastic view from balcony, so very special being able to watch the sunset. The hotel gives good value for money, with breakfast included and a short walk to the harbour market. It is quite an old hotel, so you can hear people moving around all night - if a light sleeper you will likely be disturbed. Bathroom could have done with a blind as the room got light at 5am which was a shame, otherwise a comfortable room.
