This was my first time to Broadstairs and having visited quite a few different seaside locations in…read moreEngland previously, I was pleasantly surprised by the natural beauty of Broadstairs and it's surrounding bays. To my delight there were no garish waterfront arcades to be seen, just a quaint little village/town with plenty of friendly locals. Cloonlara Bed and Breakfast is not even 5 minutes walk to the waterfront and the great choice of restaurants and pubs of the village. Only 10 minutes walk from the train station, it is easily accessible from London and well worth the 1hr 20min journey from St Pancras. It is a beautiful home with only 3 guest rooms, so you must book early if there are more than two of you in your party. The rooms are spacious and cleaned to a high standard, with lovely smelling fresh linen on the beds and in the bathroom. Breakfast on the terrace at Cloonlara is a delight on a sunny day and always served with a smile by Bernadette with Brian poking his head around to offer his brilliant knowledge of the area every now and then. The terrace is also accessible to guests to use in the late afternoon/early evening. This is a perfect way to rest after a long days walk around the bays and for pre-dinner drinks. Cloonlara beats any other B & B I have stayed at, hands down for value for money. We definitely want to stay here when we visit Broadstairs again.

I visited here for 1 night with my husband and we found many great things about this B&B. The…read morehusband and wife team who owns it are very friendly. The location is great; very short walk into the center of town. There were a total of 3 heaters in the room (1 of which is in the bathroom). It was very chilly when I arrived, and it was so nice to thaw out in a warm space. My room - the Victoria - was quite spacious and had very lovely artwork along the walls. Cute little couch, too. There is a small "lounge" with a computer and mini fridge. We didn't have breakfast, so I can't comment on the food. Wi-fi is available in the lounge, but the owner said it's availability in the rooms varied depending on location in the house. Our connection was pretty good on the ground floor. We had stayed 3 days at a neighboring B&B (Number One Guest House) and the difference was night & day. Churchill was superior in every way. Bit more expensive, but worth it. The reason for 3 stars is simply the bed. All I felt were the metal springs. So uncomfortable, creaky, and sloping toward the center. Whether an establishment is a hotel, B&B, guesthouse, etc. I feel the most important aspect is the bed. We're here to spend the night, yes? Then let's not keep using mattresses when they are years past their expiration date. Maybe the beds in the other rooms were better? I can only hope. Note on payment: Their website says Paypal is accepted, but upon arrival we were told cash only. Check out time is 10AM. Overall, I would recommend, but check the mattress before committing to a room. If they do upgrade the beds, I'd be happy to come back and update my rating to 5 stars :)

The hotel is of modern construction and the comfortable rooms all have on suit shower rooms, tv's, tea, hair dryer, iron and ironing board. All rooms apparently have a view of the Cathedral.

Service is friendly and courteous, both at breakfast and at the reception. Recommended!

January in Broadstairs was always going to be cold and wet. But…read more Number 68 is a ray of sunshine. We had a gorgeous weekend despite the weather, this delightful B&B could not have been more perfect. The house is a large victorian villa five minutes from the centre of town. It is incredibly welcoming and light, the rooms have large windows, period details and to my delight there is even a slightly grumpy cat called Merlin. There are only three bedrooms, each with a different theme. They are all charming, stylish and spotless. We stayed in the French room, complete with country toile wall paper, large brass bed and a gendarme's hat (I'm told it's really called a Kepi). Oh la la! The breakfast was generous, very fresh and decent veggie options. Each table has pretty pots filled with homemade jam. The owner Michael was terribly helpful and attentive, giving us lots of judicious advice about local walks, pubs and places to eat. I'm not surprised one of the other couples staying there decided it was good place to get engaged. If I could give Number 68 six stars I would.
