We booked on the day for an impromptu jump in the sea at end of heatwave and they were kind enough to let us check in late. Room was well laid out and clean, great shower. And lots of nice cooked options for breakfast! Also a dedicated car park at the back :)

Beautiful clean room (Room 4) with lovely comfy beds, additional things such as blankets, soap, shampoo etc and very attentive staff ( actually the owners ).

High quality tea and coffee plus biscuits in the room and to top it all an excellent breakfast the next day.

Thank you for a wonderful stay in this delightful boutique bead and breakfast close to all amenities.

Good and bad

There were some good things and some not so good things about our stay. Good things were the size of the room, breakfast, hot showers, good quiet location. Not so good was the lack lustre welcome when we arrived and an almost dismissive attitude of the staff making you feel uncomfortable and that you were more of an inconvenience than a paying guest (except for the lady who served breakfast on Monday and Tuesday). The bed was uncomfortable with awful flat hard pillows. Whilst the room was generally clean there was a lack of attention to detail like cleaning the mirror on the wardrobe. The bathroom is a little tired. At breakfast there were dirty bowls for the cereal. The room could have done with a chest of drawers to put underwear and folded items with toiletries on top. Instead we had to live out of our suitcases a bit. The bath towels smelt of cooked food. The fire doors need oiling as they squeak terribly which woke me when my husband got up in the night. The booklet is out of date with a lot of the restaurants cafes etc permanently closed. We have stayed in boutique B&Bs before and sadly this was not the best

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.

Reasonable little guest house

We arrived a little early and were kindly allowed to check in all was ok but we were told that the Bar was not an available service anymore which was a shame because it was one of the reasons we chose to stay there as thought it would be nice spot to have a drink and play cards, but apparently no one uses it
Shown to our twin room was ok had all we needed, the rug next to the bed was a bit grubby and shower hose although works ok needs limescale cleaning.
Breakfast was lovely nicely cooked and service good too

Friendly welcome on arrival, shown to our room, the room was very clean and nicely decorated, it was very spacious with a lounge area with a TV and tea and coffee making facilities, a separate bedroom with the en suite bathroom with towels and toiletries, there was a iron and board and also a fan, the bed was clean and comfy too.

Breakfast had a good selection to choose

The sea front was about a 10 min walk if that with local shops nearby, this hotel was a good location.

Would highly recommend staying here and we will definitely be back

A good stay - we slept well here! We found Herne Bay itself a bit disappointing, not as many places to eat or drink as we thought, but very close by car to Whitstable and Tankerton as well as some good country pubs which we enjoyed! Breakfast was nice - so much bacon in my bacon sandwich we made another bacon sandwich for my boyfriend! Some good cold yogurty fruity options too.

A pleasant place of rest.

The website said we could check in between 14:00-16:00. We arrived at 14:25 and was told they didn’t do registration until after 16:00 but allowed us to register as the room was ready. Parking was normal residents parking, so parked where you could. Place was lovely, comfortable & clean and decorated to a high standard. Breakfast was very nice too. So an enjoyable stay. Thank you.

Very clean.

This is a very clean place with a modern feel inside and yet in an older, lovely house. Breakfast was simple and very good. The windows and door in my room rattled a bit. I had not realised it was going to be in a quiet suburban street and I did not find it easily. I found the parking difficult, there could be more signage and the narrow drive had my car sensors going frantic.

I loved the long walk to the beach, the area is very nice and i would certainly visit again.

A little gem of a find, easy to get about Herne bay good bus routes and short walk to seafront. Very interesting shops. Would highly recommend this B&B although would say it felt more like a hotel, lovely decor really good breakfast options comfy rooms and added bonus our room which was room 3 had sitting room and spacious bathroom. Our hosts were very accommodating and available if needed, nothing too much trouble.will definitely be back.
