Fantastic sea view, well located for the wedding we were joining over the weekend. Nice bar, really good breakfast and very helpful staff. We would definitely stay here again when we visit the area.
We had a room with a balcony and views across the sea,and our room had binoculars, for looking at the fishing boats as they passed,comfy bed,big shower great bathroom,lovely big breakfast,tv turned off sometimes and wouldn't change station from remote sometimes, maybe bad reception
Free Internet worked fine
We had a very good stay the room was excellent with great view of the sea. The breakfast was very good and all staff encountered during the stay were friendly and helpful.
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!
