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!

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.

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.

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 .
