We had a great stay at The Front Rooms. Whitstable is a really lovely place and The Front Rooms seems to be one if the most stylish options. It's a really welcoming and calming place to stay with delicious breakfasts. Beautiful decor too. If you'd like to stay in a boutique b&b this is for you.

Gorgeous decor and very stylish whilst still managing to make the place feel warm and welcoming. We stayed on a cold and blustery march evening and this made the perfect retreat to come back to post a walk along the seafront. Great location only a 5 min walk to the old town and only a couple of minutes and you... More

A spacious, light and airy B&B. Tom was a fantastic host from start to finish, providing a friendly welcome and amazing breakfast in the lounge/gallery. Unlike most B&B's, this did not feel like a cramped space to stay, which made us feel relaxed immediately. The books and art work in the rooms and lounge were a joy and everything was... More

On arriving at Front Rooms at first we weren't sure we were at the right address. There was no sign up advertising the fact it was a B&B. More importantly somehow we were under the impression that Front Rooms might have had a view of the front, given Whistable is a seaside town. Instead, the B&B is in a busy... More

We stayed in a very stylishly decorated and comfortable room at the Front Rooms. Tom gave us a very warm welcome and useful tips on where to eat/what to do in Whitstable. We ate our delicious breakfast on our balcony (note that breakfast is continental-style - I don't think that's mentioned on its website). Very well located for the beach... More

We found the place very stylish, maybe not to everyone's tastes, but I liked it. Lots of white and cream , bare wood and art, Tom the host, made us feel very welcome with fresh coffee as we booked in, and showed us to room three, which had the on-suite and balcony . Room is very inviting , lovely mattress... More

A great place to stay and good value when you consider that Julie and Tom do not charge extra for the mini bar in the room - you just help yourselves to whatever you'd like. Only a few minutes walk from the town, and we also made the most of the cycle hire during our stay. Has a lovely atmosphere... More

After two nights at the 'Front Rooms' we can only echo others sentiments, " an excellent place to stay". Tom is the perfect host, rooms are a delight and breakfast absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Do take a walk up to the Castle and along to Tankerton Sands. We can't wait to return, and will definitely be doing some of... More

Excellent place to stay. Nice, clean rooms. Friendly welcome. Good breakfast, and the owner provided some really good restaurant recommendations, not just in Whitstable but also in Canterbury.

We spent a weekend at The Front Rooms in late June 2011. Just 15 minutes walk from the train station and 10 minutes from the town centre, this charming b&b is just far enough out of the town centre to feel restful, but not so far as to feel difficult. The Front Rooms are beautifully decorated, and acheive a sumptuously... More
