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.

Quirky room with huge en-suite, a small fridge would have made it perfect! Friendly staff, from checking in to checking out! Perfect location to explore Whitstable by foot.
Christine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great pub with rooms, we stayed in room 8 which was a bit of a climb to the top floor but well worth it. Its enormous.
christopher, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Trudy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I was very impressed with the room, it was spacious, clean and modern. The location was perfect, the pub downstairs had a great vibe, and the breakfast was 5/5. The only small thing I would say is it’s quite noisy outside, which you would expect from that location as it’s so central. Thank you for a great stay, I’ll definitely visit again.

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel,room decor was lovely,clean and had all that we needed ,central to Whitstable and very close to seafront ,hotel staff excellent ,only downside is no on site parking and the main car parks are a bit pricey ,so if you can find a space in one of the side streets and not to far to walk to hotel .
Peter, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great stay at the Duke of Cumberland . Great location in central Whitstable but this did mean we heard road noise in the early mornings. if we were to stay again we would ask for a quieter room. However, the room itself Emmeline, couldn’t have been nicer, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. A small fridge in the room would have made it perfect. Staff was really friendly. Breakfast excellent with plenty of choice. No parking at the hotel itself but plenty of car parks nearby - hotel gives you details of these. If you’re prepared to walk a bit further you can park cheaply at the co op at the bottom of the high street using the parking app.
