Lovely hotel with very poor parking situation…
Check-in was fine, but the parking situation is horrid! The hotel is a beautiful old seafront hotel which has been nicely updated. The dinner in the dining room was delicious as was the breakfast buffet. My room was well appointed and had all the luxuries that one would want. They did not have a conversion plug for an American iPhone, but the lady in reception was kind enough to charge my phone for me whilst I ate. Another nice feature was my petite balcony.but sadly, all paled to the lack of parking.

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!

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.

Have stayed before and had a lovely spacious room but the room this time was literally big enough for the standard double bed.
This was fine for us as we were only staying one night but for more than that I’d book a bigger room.

Great small hotel over looking water
This small hotel was great. Food and service was excellent. Friendly staff. Great location. Our only issue was the room was too warm.
