Best Broadstairs Spa Hotels

We had a five night stay at The Yarrow and we had a wonderful time. Although it is a historic building it was well maintained, bright and airy and super clean. All staff were super friendly and helpful but also very professional at the same time. We felt very relaxed. Our room was spotless and bright with plenty of room and we also had a view of the sea. The bed was so comfortable! We did have a couple of niggles with the room - nothing too problematic but worthy of a mention. The pillows were new (as I discovered) and too hard for us. I asked if there were any softer ones available but sadly there wasn't. Having a pillow choice would be beneficial. The bathroom, whilst spotless and cleaned thoroughly every day - could benenfit from some shelving. There was only one very small shelf with no room for wash bags or toiletries. We had to store ours in the top of the wardrobe... It was also a little bizaar entering a bathroom through double doors. Not sure if all rooms have this but it was a first for us. Lovely soft fresh towels too! Breakfast was a delight. It was buffet style with hot and cold options and there was plenty to choose from. You do have the option of ordering specials from a menu too. A very relaxed atmosphere and lovely waiting staff on hand if you needed anything. We were surprised that you have to get your own teas and coffee from a machine though. Not great and not sure why they don't offer fresh tea and coffee brought to your table. This is something I would expect from a hotel of this calibre. If like us you like to leave the car behind and take a break from driving - it is a short 5 minute walk into Broadstairs itself or you can catch the Loop bus right outside the hotel. The Loop bus is a convenient way of getting around the local area which doesn't cost the earth either. There is a large car park at the hotel but you do run the gauntlet of cars and people at certain times of the day, mainly between 8.30 and 9 am and 4.30 to 6pm. The hotel is adjacent to the local college and at the far end of the car park is a childcare nursery. They all share the same vehicular entrance so it does get very busy with students and cars coming and going. Would we recommend The Yarrow. In a word - yes!
