The George & Heart

Bedrooms, apart from the suite, are all on the top floor, so well away from the buzz of the bar. Help yourselves to tea, coffee, biscuits and cereals from Reggie’s; you’ve got your own private mini-bar, or pop into the amnesty bar for afternoon cocktails or a late night tipple. The feel is very relaxed, staff are incredibly friendly and the idea is that guests feel like one big family. Breakfast is continental with meats and cheeses, fresh pastries, delicious smoothies or, for those in need, a strong Bloody Mary.

At the bar you’re served local craft beers and fine wines while admiring the beautiful stained glass windows and having a look at the menu. This is seasonal and ever-evolving with lots of Kent produce and plenty of vegan and vegetarian choices, alongside meat and fish which supports British farmers and artisan producers.

There’s a Zen Den for yoga or meditation and it’s a three-minute walk to the sea.
