The staff and service were excellent. Wasn't expecting breakfast was included but it was, which was a bonus. The restaurant and bar was excellent service too. The only negative is the walls between each bedrooms was wafer-thin and i could clearly hear the television in the next room. Had to ask next door to turn it down and even then i could still heat it.

The Botany Bay is welcoming and warm. I first discovered it on a walk between Margate and Broadstairs. My stay this week was the third one and I know I will be back. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff members are kind and attentive, the food is good. The pub seems to be a regular stop for walkers and local customers adding to the warmth of the place.

This is a great little property overlooking a quiet bay with good breakfast and dining options. We were upgraded to a sensational room but it was just unbearably hot with the most uncomfortable pillows so sleep quality very poor. Hence the low rating. We would go back but take my own pillow next time

Nice place.
Staff great. Place great. Good great. Room great. Pretty much the only thing I wasn’t happy with was the figure hugging shower curtain. Superior room deserves a nice walk in shower. Not a narrow bath with a curtain. Other than that fantastic place and would stay again.

Lovely hotel and great room very clean Breakfast room had cobwebs hanging from the roof lantern like chandeliers Coffeewas strong and cold Hospitality in room is very good but remember to get milk from reception on arrival! Waitress needs to have a lesson in service as was leaning across other diners around table instead of going to the side

Excellent stay, been 3x before and will return
Beautiful place. Beautiful location. The only downside is that the family rooms appear to be facing the car park and you get an 8am wake up call in the form of empty bottles from the bar being tipped to the main bin. This said, the hotel provides an excellent value for money, breakfast is nice too, but the staff are the real stars.

Came for one night and thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were polite and friendly and catered to us having a 1 year old. Bar and restaurant was lovely and served delicious meals although the desserts were expensive for small portions

Clean comfortable room but a very heavy quilt! No air conditioning but a noisy portable fan was supplied. Nice choice of biscuits and hot drinks were supplied along with a small flask of fresh milk at check in. Wonderful surroundings with beautiful beaches within a few minutes walk.

I night stay
We had a lovely stay overnight celebrating a friend’s birthday. The room was spacious and clean with a well appointed bathroom- a sea view would have been wonderful but you can’t have everything. We chose to dine in the hotel rather than drive elsewhere and were delighted we did. My whole Bream with lemongrass marinade was perfectly cooked and delicious. Breakfast was great and although service a bit slow we didn’t mind looking out over the bay as we waited.
