The house

A family-run 1930s hotel right on the seafront, five minutes on foot from the harbour and the High Street. It belongs to the Whitstable Oyster Company, the same one that farms the oysters off the beach. It has double rooms, family rooms for three to five people and luxury rooms with or without sea views, all with a bathroom. The bar and bistro on the ground floor serves local produce, oysters included, with views over the Thames estuary.

Who it suits

For a night by the sea, with dinner in the hotel itself and the sunset from your room. For families, thanks to the large rooms. There is no lift: if stairs are difficult for you, let them know when booking.

How to get there

From Whitstable station, about ten minutes on foot heading down towards the sea. The fishermen's huts it also manages are a short step away.
