"We had a wonderful four-night stay at The Granary. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we could possibly need. The bed was so comfortable and we slept very well. We enjoyed the peaceful, relaxing location. It was also great to not have to worry about car parking. Thank you Hazel and Robin for being such great hosts."

Holiday Inn Express Ramsgate - Minster by IHG

Holiday Inn Express Ramsgate - Minster by IHG

8/10 Good
"The hotel has basic furniture, no wardrobes or drawers for putting personal items out of view. The wash basin sink took ages to empty. The kettle had no filter so would take longer to switch off. Breakfast food was always slightly overcooked, especially bacon and sausages. Apart from these niggles it was clean, comfortable bed (very large) changed regularly. The staff very friendly and helpful. Be aware, it only accepts card payments, No cash. Nearby there is an Asda express, a mcdonlds and a pub doing evening meals. Would use it again."
