We stayed here for just one night whilst we were visiting friends in Herne Bay and we will stay again! It was so convenient, there was parking around the back, and the hosts were lovely. We stayed in Room 3 which was massive! It had a little lounge area, a lovely bathroom and the bedroom area was big as well with plenty of room to get ready. There was also a fan in the room which was appreciated! Breakfast was lovely and the choice was really good. We can’t recommend this place enough.

Reasonable little guest house

We arrived a little early and were kindly allowed to check in all was ok but we were told that the Bar was not an available service anymore which was a shame because it was one of the reasons we chose to stay there as thought it would be nice spot to have a drink and play cards, but apparently no one uses it Shown to our twin room was ok had all we needed, the rug next to the bed was a bit grubby and shower hose although works ok needs limescale cleaning. Breakfast was lovely nicely cooked and service good too

Lovely clean small hotel

Nice clean welcoming hotel looks like it had just been converted as carpets were like new. Small family run hotel. Had to book breakfast in advance, which wasn’t a problem. No evening meals but was restaurants within walking distance

The proprietor Luke was very welcoming and helpful. The room was well furnished with comfortable beds and a large spotlessly clean batbroom with a nice big shower. Car parking was at the rear and very secure. The choice of breakfasts was very good and of good quality.

A good stay - we slept well here! We found Herne Bay itself a bit disappointing, not as many places to eat or drink as we thought, but very close by car to Whitstable and Tankerton as well as some good country pubs which we enjoyed! Breakfast was nice - so much bacon in my bacon sandwich we made another bacon sandwich for my boyfriend! Some good cold yogurty fruity options too.

Sleep-Inn Hare

Friendly welcome on arrival, shown to our room, the room was very clean and nicely decorated, it was very spacious with a lounge area with a TV and tea and coffee making facilities, a separate bedroom with the en suite bathroom with towels and toiletries, there was a iron and board and also a fan, the bed was clean and comfy too. Breakfast had a good selection to choose The sea front was about a 10 min walk if that with local shops nearby, this hotel was a good location. Would highly recommend staying here and we will definitely be back Thank you for having us

Quiet place, room is very big and comfortable. Breakfast could be improved, especially having diary free options and fresh bread would have made difference. However, the owner was really kind to accomodate my needs and brought me a bowl of fruit which was really nice. Thanks for the hospitality!

Escape to the seaside

A little gem of a find, easy to get about Herne bay good bus routes and short walk to seafront. Very interesting shops. Would highly recommend this B&B although would say it felt more like a hotel, lovely decor really good breakfast options comfy rooms and added bonus our room which was room 3 had sitting room and spacious bathroom. Our hosts were very accommodating and available if needed, nothing too much trouble.will definitely be back.
