Really charming place to stay! Perfect for a weekend. Staff were brilliant and attentive and breakfast was great! Just to note we did get woken up a bit early by a drinks delivery for the pub underneath but wasn’t too bad

Lovely and clean comfortable room. The bar had no scotch whiskeys nor single malt. It had only Jameson which is Irish.

If you’re looking for a charming pub to stay in and you have had a load of drinks to knock you out, it’s a good option. Walls are paper thin, you can hear everything in the room next door. Can hear traffic loudly from the road as it’s on the main road, but the decor is very nice, they have tried hard but the bones of the pub accommodation just doesn’t support a good night sleep. Bed was meant to be a double but just pushed together so ended in the crack. Asked if we could have breakfast slightly before 8am as had to leave 8am and no, most places open for breakfast at 7am particularly during a week day. Proximity to the beach is great. Would suit young couples who want to go on the smash.

Really enjoyed our stay at the Duke of Cumberland! We’ve been coming to Whitstable for years and are pleased to see that this great pub has finally been given some TLC. Whitstable was definitely in need of a nice boutique hotel in the centre of town!

We had a beautiful stay. The air heater was a good addition, as a draft came through the windows. Also, the windows would knock from the wind, waking us up throughout the night.
