Small car park, excellent staff!
Very good greating when i walked on. Directed to receptionist who was very helpful. Car park behind hotel and small but had a lot of cars in it. Instructions to find it much more difficult than the drive to it. Lovely food, dinner and breakfast, and only woke once in the night. Overall: excellent. Thank you.

Would stay again
Really friendly, helpful staff. Room was small but did what i needed so no issues. Room was lovely and clean along with the bathroom. Decent rain fall shower which was nice. Great location if you wanted a walk up the beach front etc. Good breakfast again with happy, friendly staff. Stayed for business but would be happy to go back for a few nights with the family.

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!
