The Seaview Snug

The Seaview Snug

8/10 Good
"The Sea View Snug was really well thought-through as a place to stay - a lot of effort has been put in to make the rooms as comfortable as possible. The apartment was spotlessly clean. The kitchen was well equipped, with everything we needed. Also there are nice touches such as information on the Kent coast area, books, and board games to play. It's a good location near to the harbour area and beach. There is a sea-view from the lounge & kitchen, so it was nice to sit and have a morning coffee looking out. When we return to Whitstable, we'll defintately consider rebooking."
