Top Whitstable Beach Hotel Reviews

Charming cottage in the heart of Whitstable - Peace Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"A great vacation stay, perfect for a family trip."

Duke of Cumberland

10/10 Excellent

"This was a beautiful small hotel, 8 rooms over a pub in the centre of town. Each room is different but mine (room 5) was amazing. Large bedroom and a spa line bathroom with a tub that would be perfect for wine and a bubble bath and a separate rainfall shower. Breakfast was included with a good sized menu. All the staff was friendly and helpful. There is no elevator, so you are carrying your luggage up and down a lot of stairs, but the staff always jump in to help. This property is owned by a local brewery and the room comes with a bottle of beer."

Lilly Cottage - Fisherman's Cottage Whitstable

10/10 Excellent

"Heel prettig, sfeervol huis. Alles met aandacht verzorgd. Goede faciliteiten, alles werkt. Goede douche beneden en een bad boven, 2 toiletten. Twee prettige slaapkamers. Verrassend ruim voor wat een klein huis lijkt. Prettig zitje in de tuin. Goede communicatie met eigenaars.Direct naast het centrum en toch rustig. Parkeren (gratis) lukte altijd wel in de straat of vlakbij. Aanrader, wij zouden nogmaals boeken."

Starboard Light, Whitstable

8/10 Good

"This house is delightful but unfortunately has been sadly neglected in certain areas...the patio window needs replacing, plinths in the kitchen are all loose, shower needs updating, lighting system is far too complicated in the rooms, some blinds are broken (in the garden lounge). When we were there it was baking hot and I can't believe that a house like this doesn't have a fan anywhere?! Also the outside table needs a parasol for baking hot weather! Only two saucepans in the kitchen and no colander! The house needed cleaning properly, all the kitchen cupboards were quite grubby on the fronts. Plinths in the bathroom are loose and grubby, window was impossible to open for ventilation and the skylight window was so difficult to open. The garden needs maintaining too, we felt sorry for the plants in the baking heat and did water the garden. It's a real shame, the house has been beautifully designed but just not maintained to the standard it really deserves - just mending broken stuff, a bit of care and attention and a proper good clean and this house would be perfect!"

Sea Breeze, Whitstable

10/10 Excellent

"A very well presented property with a lot of high-end features. Nicely decorated and well prepared for our arrival. More like a home than a rental.Ideally situated within Whitstable. Shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants only a few minutes walk away and the beach about a five minute walk in the opposite direction. Nice play area for children to let off steam almost opposite.The covered, private parking spot is immediately behind the property and luggage can be offloaded at the back door. If you have more than one car there is a public car park immediately adjacent to the property.Would definitely stay again."

Two minutes from beach. Cosy pet-friendly cottage in cool location with garden.

10/10 Excellent

"The perfect size place for our two couples, and wonderfully located to the water and primary commercial district. Extremely comfortable beds, and the place was fully stocked with everything we could need to enjoy our time in Whitstable. The owner clearly identifies the steepness of the stairs (which they are), but at no time did they impact our enjoyment of the space. If you are looking for a good value in the location you want to be, stop looking and book your stay here!"

Ravenscourt, Whitstable

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay at Ravenscourt as a group of four friends. The location is fantastic - just a short walk to the beach, with a handy cut‑through that everyone uses to get down to the seafront. The house itself is a charming Victorian terrace and beautifully furnished throughout, with a really welcoming feel. On‑street parking can be a bit tricky at times, but that’s fairly typical for Whitstable and didn’t cause us too much trouble. We didn’t use the kitchen facilities during our stay as we preferred to sit out in the garden, which was a lovely spot to relax. A couple of small things to note: we did need to sort out the cistern in the upstairs toilet ourselves, and the ensuite on the top floor could have been a little cleaner. Nothing major, but worth mentioning. Overall, a stylish, comfortable house in a brilliant location - perfect for a beach getaway with friends and or family."
