Fresh-from-the-sea oysters and mussels feature on the French-style brasserie menu. Breakfasts must be pre-booked.

House of Agnes
Canterbury - 19 miles away
Close to Canterbury West Station, a quaint B&B dating back to the 14th century and mentioned in Charles Dickens' David Copperfield.

All guests have use of the comfy lounges, honesty bar and DVD library. Breakfasts are served in the historic wood-panelled Quadrant room.

The Marine Hotel
