Top The Downs Hotel Reviews

Marine Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly welcoming hotel. Very convenient for walks, a very comfortable Tankerton is lovely and ita only an easy 20 mins walk to Whitstable town, but local shops nearby and sea front iceceam and teas on the seafront. Very good hotel for dogs Car parking in October was fine close to hotel on beach front road and free. I imagine that parking in peak season is difficult but probably still easier than parking in Whitstable."
