"Birchington-on-Sea is a small seaside town with a pleasant beach at Minnis Bay overlooking the Thames Estuary and the Reculver Towers further up the coast where the bouncing bombs were tested.

"Room was clean, staff especially Sarah were very helpful. Full English breakfast available each morning. Downside was location right next to a busy road, parking is available but limited. Also the inn is in the process of being sold, so may not be available in the near future."

"Had a 2 day stopover while working in Folkestone - a well located guest house with good parking, friendly staff and a very good breakfast. Couldn't get the wifi to work but for a such a short stay I wasn't too fussed. If ever in the area again then would be very happy to return."

The B&B is located a few minutes from Canterbury East train station and is also close to the centre of town.
The room was well-furnished with fresh water in a jug (with lemon!), kettle, TV and a hairdryer. All the nice touches added up!
The host, Terry, was very warm and a good conversationalist. He gave me a map when I arrived and explained how to get into town to start exploring.
There were also good options for breakfast.
10/10 - would stay again!

We had a very enjoyable 3 night stay at Castle House. Very pleased with our room and the B&B's location. Would definitely recommend it.i If I would have any gripe - and it's just a small one - it is with the breakfast menu options eg basic breakfast cereals on offer , one type of milk, And the cooked breakfast was average.

We had a comfortable and friendly stay at St Peter’s B&B. We were given a ground floor converted stable room which was well furnished, comfortable and clean. The ensuite shower was amazing. Both complimentary continental buffet breakfast and hot cooked breakfast of your choice was available. The location was in the centre of Sandwich, less than 5 minutes walk to the shops. The sea is a longer walk but there is no traditional seaside as such. However, Deal which is only 15 minutes drive is...

We found this hotel to be far enough away from the town centre to not be bothered by any noise but close enough for a nice stroll and the sunset over the harbour was lovely. The owners have obviously spent a great deal of time and money on this once run down to turn it into a comfortable hotel with more improvements planned.

Perfect for a one-night stopover. Situated above the pub so did hear some music, but that didn't spoil my stay. Lovely friendly staff and a slightly dated but very clean room.
