Had just one night here but wished we had stayed longer. Being from Ramsgate I regularly visit family and have now found the perfect place to stay. Love Minster, it is pretty, quiet and welcoming away from the seaside resorts but incredibly close to them all. Do it yourself breakfast to eat at table in your room was wonderful. Hosts are friendly people and have loads of information books and booklets about the surrounding area. Would certainly stay again, can't fault it.

We stayed here for one night on a saturday night. Lovely place to stay - we had the room with the 4-poster bed, which was spacious and had nice views overlooking the well-kept gardens. We thought the self service breakfast was a fantastic idea!

Only downside was that we found the lodge rather noisy during the night due to the other guests' - particularly going back and fro eachother's rooms - the echo'y wooden stairs did not help! As a result, we had trouble sleeping until the early hours of Sunday morning.

Still, would definitely consider staying here again!

The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The owners were happy for me to have my well behaved German Shepherd Dog in the room. Breakfast was a help your self continental style, ( no set time) laid out on trays on a table in a central landing area. It consisted of choice of cereals some fruit, yoghurt's, fruit juice fresh milk kept in a fridge. croissants and muffins preheated in an oven set on a timer were also available, and a cafetiere of fresh coffee.
We stayed for two nights, we had a good meal at The Kings Arms in Sandwich, and a good meal at Mortons in Minster village, I understand you can also arrange to have a cooked breakfast at Mortons.
I would definately like to stay again at Durlock Lodge, possibly trying one of the self catering units next time.

This delightful 18th century Durlock Lodge, with self-catering accommodation comprises a 2-bedroomed cottage– one with a four-poster – (sleeping 4+2) plus a 2-person studio, in a quiet village location of Minster with a railway station with direct services to London.

There's no breakfast provided, but there's an electronic oven with a timer, so guests can enjoy hot rolls with their morning coffee.

The renowned Bell Inn and three restaurants are all within a five-minute stroll.
.
Owners, David & Nicky Sworder, are former restaurateurs and will recommend local places to visit and eat.

An ideal location for exploring the costal towns of Broadstairs, Margate and Ramsgate -collectively known as the Isle of Thanet, separated from the rest of Kent by the Wantsum.

The local tourist office will even organise a local volunteer to show your around for free:
