The bedrooms, meanwhile, are the definition of boudoir chic, boasting window seats giving way to sea views and a telescope in the main bedroom to let you watch the roll of the waves up close. Speaking of getting a better look at the coast, walk just four minutes to Tankerton Beach or stroll along the water’s edge until you reach Whitstable Castle, nine minutes away.
