“Plenty of character”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

I don't know what some people expect of a B&B, but to me, this was the epitomy of a good one. The hosts have been running this place for years and it's such a nice little place. We had a great time. Joan is a great character - very friendly and really interested in myself and my boyfriend (I think she was flirting with him!). Lovely breakfast. A nice stroll into town. Cosy room in good condition. Obviously there were a few house rules, but you have to remember, a B&B is someone's home and livelihood. I'd set a few rules too!

A great place to spend a bank holiday weekend. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

“Fantastic B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012 via mobile

Great quirky and typically Whitstable style B&B. Very nice room clean well presented. Very attentive hosts, the breakfast was perfect really well cooked with quality ingredients. For sure will return and can thoroughly recommend to others.

“what an experience!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

My husband and I arrived at Windy Ridge, not knowing what to expect. We were not disappointed. The lovely Jean welcomed us on arrival and showed us to a room which was a cross between a Clint Eastwood film set and a night of Heaven. The decor and history was both tasteful and fascinating, and the room provided everything we needed, including Mexicans! After a great night out in Whitstable, including fantastic food and live entertainment, we went back to enjoy a perfect night in a perfect bed. Things couldn't be more ideal... then we experienced John's breakfast! What can I say? BOOK NOW AND DON"T MISS OUT! His sausages are to die for. Thanks guys.

Room Tip: Ask for the Mexican experience.

“Amazing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012

We stayed here to get away and have a relaxing, peaceful break and it was exactly that. The views from the room at the top of the house were breathtaking. The room was spotless and decorated beautifully.

Jean and John were the perfect hosts and cooked an amazing breakfast. We would certainly return here and couldn't recommend it more.

Michael and Sarah.

“Great disappointment in booking service”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We booked via the internet our room for July 2012 & received email confirmation of this. When I phoned up to check this booking I was informed that they ignore email bookings & even though I had a booking ref number this was not valid. The owner said that he was unsure of availability for July 2012 but he would phone me back. He did not do this even after I had made one final attempt to try to book at this place. Imagine if we had turned up in July only to find that we could not stay

Very disappointing!
