A Kentish seaside escape

Very Friendly, Cosey, Well Equipped and Quiet

I stayed in Broadstairs for the first ever time and this hotel was great. Staff were very friendly, there was a wide selection of food and drink and the room was cosey and well facilitated, plus the hotel was quiet...

Nice rooms and sea views.

The room was well decorated and very clean. The only thing missing were comfortable chairs! We had two wicker and a hard wood chair. In fact I could not find a comfortable chair in any public area either! I wonder why, keen on posture...
