“Nicely Decorated and Central”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 April 2007

A lot of care and attention has certainly gone into decorating the rooms at the Gallery House - light, spotlessly clean, airy and modern, our room was a pleasure to stay in.

There are three bedrooms (2 doubles and a single) on the first floor of a detached house, off a small landing. Our double had a shower and hand-basin right in the room (not screened off), but there is a gorgeous bathroom (shared between the three rooms) and a separate WC (again shared). We were the only guests, but I can imagine it may feel a little crowded if all rooms are occupied.

The location is central and convenient - just a few minutes from the high street, near lovely restuarants (try Wheelers, for sure). This is very much a town B&B - don't expect sea views. The trainline does run at the back of the house, and although our bedroom faced it, it was not at all a problem - it is far enough away, separated by a strip of green land, and trains are infrequent, so noise was not an issue.

Breakfast is left for you in the fridge, I'd recommend the simpler cereal and toast option, as this keeps better overnight and seems better value.

We never actually saw the owner (who lives downstairs) and apart from a glitch with the heating (which left us shivering for an evening) had a pleasant stay.

“Good central place Gallery House whitstable”

Stayed at the "Gallery House" in Whitstable for a few days in the late summer. We only saw the owner once on arrival when we were asked to pay upfront and to leave the keys when we left. Breakfast could have been arranged and left in the fridge in your room to eat at your leisure but we opted out of this as felt was a bit pricey and plenty of nice cafes about to get your own breakfast or to get something from the local supermarket. The room was adequate apart from the fact that the "ensuite shower" was being a bit economical with the truth as the shower cubicle was actually in the room and not partioned off at all. There was a single toilet and full bathroom outside your door on the landing for both rooms to use. The room had been newly decorated and had ample storage space with a table and two chairs for you to eat your breakfast or any meal as plates cutlery glasses etc are all provided for your use. A lot of thought has gone into the running of this B & B .It was very near the main high street and some noise could be heard from the late night youngsters!
Saying all this we enjoyed our stay in Whitstable (apart from a terrible meal at the pub on the front near Zizzi's where i was ill afterwards due to a crab which was possibly off) and would not hesitate to return especially as you are so close to Canterbury Herne Bay etc all within very easy reach.
