As soon as we arrived, Sue was friendly and welcoming, and even said we could bring takeaways back and eat them in the dining room/lounge if we wanted to. She even left a beer glass out for us the second day. Full English breakfast was excellent. There was only one choice of cereal out, however the cooked breakfast was quite sufficient for us. Location is very good being just steps away from bus stops in either direction, and short walks to beaches/town.

There was still litter in the bin in the lounge when we arrived (well I had to find something for this section!)

Sue was a perfect host - friendly, responsive to our timing requirements and ready with suggestions and advice on the town. She also let us just "be" - the perfect balance of privacy and engagement. The bed was really comfortable, the room was large, and the location was handy for the centre. Our breakfasts were matched to our dietary requirements, and altered in size to our needs for the upcoming day.

The house is on a road leading in to the town, so isn't silent in terms of traffic. However, the windows were double-glazed with thick curtains, and this didn't disturb our sleep.

Breakfast was lovely every morning. Lovely, bright, fresh clean room. Cliftonville House was in a great location too, near the town and harbour and close for buses and trains. Host Sue was lovely. Friendly and helpful, providing information of where to visit, finding out times of places to visit, times of transport/s. Staying at the Cliftonville House just added to the enjoyment of visiting Whitstable. Would very highly recommend Cliftonville House. Hopefully, when we are lucky enough to visit Whitstable again, I would stay at Cliftonville House, there is absolutely no need to go find anywhere else to stay.

There was not a thing not to like. Host Sue, breakfast, room, location were perfect.

Sue is an excellent and charming host! Our room was clean and airy, bed was big and comfortable, and bathroom spotless. We were treated with tasty breakfasts, and cherry on the cake was a dedicated, covered, parking space. You can't beat that in busy with turists seaside town. Little touches, like small fridge, just outside room doors, microwave in the dining room or plenty of maps to discover local areas, just add extra to very pleasant stay. We shall return. Thank you, Sue!

If your room overlooking the street, you may hear a bit of noise. But once you close the windows, you'll sleep like a baby.

Sue was an exceptional host who took the time to talk with us, give ideas on places to go and even a voucher for free entry into Canterbury Cathedral. Her breakfast is wonderful, the Lemon Room bed and room very comfortable and all super clean with a decent shower. During the hot spell Sue even put in two fans to use which was a godsend.

The only single downside for me was the size of the room (however the other room available is larger). Just a little more space down the side of the bed would have been good, but that isn't something that Sue can do anything about and was more than made up for with the positives.

It was a perfect stay. Sue was a lovely host and made us feel very welcome. The room was spacious and spotless and the shower was very good. The breakfast was hearty and beautifully cooked. We were having a couple of days break after a hectic time at home and the ambience of the room and the general calm of the place helped us relax and enjoy it all.

We loved our stay here. Sue was the perfect host and the bedroom is gorgeous. Very comfy bed, hot shower, cosy armchairs... much more spacious than we'd anticipated. Breakfast was also excellent and Sue went out of her way by getting oat milk etc. in advance on request. Huge thanks Sue!

Located on the Canterbury road and just 10 minutes walk into the town and to the beach we thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Sue who was an excellent host. Lovely bedroom with huge bed, en suite with excellent shower. Great breakfast that set you up for the day! Lots of interesting locations to visit in the area with a bus stop opposite if you didn't fancy driving. Parking also available at the property which is not always the case in Whitstable.

We had such a fantastic 3 night stay at Cliftonhouse. Sue was so warm, helpful and kind and allowed us to check-in early. Her place feels like home and she makes the effort to make you as comfortable as possible and loved learning about the history of the house and Whitstable. The White Room was so comfortable, nice and spacious and we loved the super King bed! Thank you Sue for making your home feel like our home 🥰. We will definitely visit again. S & J xx

Nothing!

It was a small room, but everything was there to suit our needs, comfortable bed, tv, tea and coffee making facilities, good shower, excellent breakfast, Free parking but has to be booked, and Sue bent over backwards to make sure everything was ok. Looking forward to the next time we visit.

Coming home.
