We loved our weekend , the hotel was in a great location . Facilities staff and food were wonderful . The only downside was the constant traffic noise at night until early hours of the morning . This is probably the busy bank holiday weekend .

I thought it was quite expensive for what it was. The room was nicely decorated but small. Quite hard to understand that it was advertised as a family room, as if there were 4 people in it you would not be able to turn around. It was really a small twin room but charged at considerably more than a double. A bit noisy and only limited bedding - a sheet and a single blanket meant we found ourselves bit cold at night. No extra blankets in the cupboard.

Great rooms in town centre pub; in the midst of shops and lots of eating places. As a result, slightly noisy, but bearable

Great stay at the Duke of Cumberland . Great location in central Whitstable but this did mean we heard road noise in the early mornings. if we were to stay again we would ask for a quieter room. However, the room itself Emmeline, couldn’t have been nicer, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. A small fridge in the room would have made it perfect. Staff was really friendly. Breakfast excellent with plenty of choice. No parking at the hotel itself but plenty of car parks nearby - hotel gives you details of these. If you’re prepared to walk a bit further you can park cheaply at the co op at the bottom of the high street using the parking app.
