The White Cliffs

Simple pleasures on England's White Cliffs coast

This collection of Kentish weather-boarded buildings, once a village inn, is now a delightful family-owned and run hotel. Sophisticated in style, with a fresh contemporary atmosphere, it offers an authentic taste of English Coastal living and is the sister hotel of award-winning Wallett's Court Country House Hotel a short distance away. Six bedrooms upstairs, including two fabulous four-posters, are in an English country house style. There are also nine Mews rooms decorated with a simple touch reflecting the coastal New England Style clapper-boarded cottages in which they sit. Crisp white linen, goose down quilts, free Wi-Fi and multi-channel televisions are to be found in all rooms including three apartments ideal for a family or group of friends. The buzzing and lively Bay Restaurant & Bar is at the heart of the hotel, attracting locals and visitors from near and far drawn by the classic Kentish menu which features locally inspired dishes prepared simply with a focus on the fabulous, fresh, abundant and natural produce from The Garden of England. In winter, lounge in front of the roaring wood stove in the cosy bar in winter or in summer the walled sun-trap beach style garden complete with its own striped deck chairs is an oasis of calm. If you can tear yourself away from all this relaxation, there's much to see and do in this beautiful and historic corner of England.
