The Botany Bay - Kingsgate

HOTEL- great, quiet location. Really lovely staff at the front desk. Meticulously clean. Bed was comfortable. Fresh semi-skimmed milk is available. Room could have benefited from a fridge and AC during heatwaves. In late June, the room was cool in the evening with the windows cracked open, but this also meant the room wasn’t totally dark. RESTAURANT Lovely location and setting. No tables available inside due to a group booking. Outside has no service- you have to get your own menus and cutlery, find a table and then go to order at the bar. However, when we visited it wasn’t too busy so this wasn’t too much of an issue. High chairs and kids menu available. Vegetarian butternut sage pasta was in a cream sauce- not particularly delicious, but not a lot of vegetarian options. Menu available on their website if you want to have a look beforehand. Overall, fab location with parking. Restaurant on site and great staff.

This is the second time we have stayed here. We had a dual aspect room with balcony and amazing views. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We had dinner in the restaurant on both nights and the food was delicious. I can highly recommend the scallops. Breakfast was very filling and there was a good selection of choices. We can't wait to stay again.

Stayed for 2 nights a few weeks ago, we had a great time and have booked again for a mini break later this year. Great walks along the coastline, staff very friendly and the rooms are comfortable and nicely decorated. Breakfast was great plenty of selection and a cooked breakfast too.

It's a special place (looks newly refurbished). But had a long wait for a really basic order and the pub wasn't that full. I guess it might he under staffing due to bank holiday. This place is kid friendly (loads of high chairs). They are also dog friendly, met two beautiful dogs there.

The hotel was lovely and staff were friendly. Breakfast service is slow but staff are helpful. Good value for money as location is right by the sea and parking is easy too. Lovely place with and great for long walks and fresh air whilst admiring historical views.
