Rude arrogant man. Judgemental and unable to accept people's dietary requirements. Did not ask for them on point of booking them asked "have you always been like that" on arrival. Then purposefully asked if I wanted bacon at breakfast. Creepy and crass behaviour.

Toni & Sally are wonderful hosts and really made us welcome. Our room was a bit of a squeeze but warm and super comfortable. Certainly slept very well. Great location immediately on the sea front, yet a few minutes walk from pubs, restaurants and shops. I'm coming back to Herne Bay on my own in May and hope Toni can find room for me here.

Bed so large there's no room to move around. Nice walk-in shower. Great location if you don't mind a bit of noise in evening. Sally, proprietor is very friendly and helpful.

Lovely B&B! The owners were delightful: friendly and helpful! ||The room was cosy. Some of the decor was a bit old-fashioned, but it was comfortable, clean and had a fridge, hair dryer and iron/ironing board.  …
