"We stayed here for just one night whilst we were visiting friends in Herne Bay and we will stay again! It was so convenient, there was parking around the back, and the hosts were lovely. We stayed in Room 3 which was massive! It had a little lounge area, a lovely bathroom and the bedroom area was big as well with plenty of room to get ready. There was also a fan in the room which was appreciated! Breakfast was lovely and the choice was really good. We can’t recommend this place enough. "
"Stayed for one night to attend a concert in Margate - couldn’t find accommodation in Margate but this was fantastic and in a much nicer area. The breakfast was great too"
"The hotel and gardens are beautiful - immaculate garden perfect for a pre dinner cocktail. Was very impressed with the decor and high standard of furnishings - should be a wedding venue or offer cream teas. We had an amazing dinner - cannot fault the food or drink!! "
"Very good value and the breakfast is a bargain.
Visiting in a heatwave, it perhaps wasn't ideal to be in one of the south facing bay window rooms with a sea view as it got quite hot, but any other time of year would be fine.
The shower was a little on the small side but worked fine."
"Wonderfully appointed apartment - nicely positioned too if you're looking for a place to stay while touring Kent's coastal towns. Owner was communicative and friendly. Would recommend."

"Wow! Gorgeous location, beautiful room and amazing staff. I had mentioned it was my birthday and was given a card and a bottle of bubbly! We’ll be back! "
"This is a gem of a place.
So,cosy,quiet even though in the old town.
So tastefully decorated inside and the patio areas.
Lovely teas to sample in the room.
Paul was helpful and charming when I finnaly found him!
Fabulous stay"
"As with all of my reviews for accommodation sites, the most important factor is how well and more importantly how quickly the host responds to queries. This host responded quickly and accurately to all texts I sent so I’m giving it two thumbs up. The apartment was clean and accurately represented in the ad. It was just on the edge of the old town so the neighbourhood was a touch gritty but not dangerous. It was close to the sea and a short walk to amenities and it was right next to an Aldi so that was very handy. "
