We stayed for a weekend recently, what a lovely setting within easy walking distance of the main beach and town. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the room was nice and comfortable and the ongoing refubishments are fantastic. The evening meal in the orangery was fantastic, with locally sourced produce all in a wonderful setting. I would definatly recommend... More

Many thanks to Abigail and Scott for organising my wonderful birthday party on 13th April. I was looking forward to a special day and they certainly provided it. The food and the venue were perfect. We all stayed at the hotel and the rooms were very comfortable and breakfast was great.

We stayed for two nights early in the week, so very quiet. Our room was great, large, comfortable, sea view? Breakfast and evening meals were of a good standard, with quality locally sourced produce. Staff were friendly and very attentive, a little effusive at times. Orangery restaurant was bright, airy and nicely decorated. Location was quite good, a little out... More

Stayed here while on a contract job near Canterbury, staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the rooms were spacious as well as being clean and tidy. Food was excellent with an a la carte menu and a bar menu, meals from both these menus couldn't be faulted. Would strongly reccomend.
