Great older property with lots of charm. The gentleman working the front desk was very helpful and kind. It was a bit warm on the top level (seasonably hot weather). but otherwise it was amazing, also lots of stairs to be aware of. The location was great and easily walkable to the sea!

Lovely but expensive

Newly refurbished with home made cakes and good quality breakfast. Very warm welcome and close to the seafront. Very expensive at £95 for a a tiny en-suite single bedroom, up 6 flights of steps. Plus parking is £4 a night.

The room was clean and the hotel a short walk from The Leas and the beach front, I found the countertop bathroom sink was too high for me to wash my face in comfortably.

A great hotel, conveniently located.

The hotel was located in a great spot, a few minutes walk from the harbour and town centre. Our room was very clean and comfortable room with everything we needed for our overnight stay. The service from all the staff we met was fantastic, they were very helpful and polite and nothing was too much trouble.

Definitely recommend The Relish. The location is great. Very close to the harbour and beach. Also close to Battle of Britain memorial. It's very clean and Julia was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. I really enjoyed my 2 night stay here. Would stay again for sure. There was £3.30 daily charge to park on the street out front, which was convenient for me. The weather although great did not hinder my stay thankfully. Thank you to all the staff at The Relish.

Charming guest house tastefully renovated and with a warm welcome. Free on street parking and we were lucky enough to get a space right outside. Access to the private garden square at rear. Good location for access to town restaurants and the Leas promenade. Hearty cooked breakfast to order. Will stay again for our stopovers for an early Eurotunnel.
