Windy Ridge sits in a private garden on WRAIK HILL, overlooking Whitstable, with panoramic views of the sea and the fantastic sunsets for which the town - locally called "Sunset Town" - is famed, along of course with its world renowned oysters and other seafoods. The extremely unusual architecture of the house, having been extended over the years from its origin as two farm cottages, makes the hotel a quirky place of real character. Much reclaimed timber and stone has been used in the building to retain its character & charm, which is reinforced by the beamed ceilings and cast iron fireplaces present in many of the private guest rooms, as well as the lounge and dining areas. The lounge also benefits from a wood burning stove to keep the winter chill out and makes it a very welcoming place to come back to after a day out exploring the local area or from your business meeting. Sky is also provided in the lounge area. We serve an excellent fresh breakfast in our very pleasant dining room, which has views of the garden, using largely, locally grown, Kentish produce, including local eggs, jams, marmalade etc. Vegetarian options are of course available and we can cater for special diets too. Please let us know in advance of any special dietary requirements, so that we can cater for your particular needs. Dinner may also be arranged, with prior notice. We are one of the few local hotels with family rooms, each with a double and twin beds, some rooms divided by a partition to ensure a good night's sleep for all. We also have a bedroom on the ground floor, should you have difficulty using stairs etc. Please let us know in advance if you require this room. We also have a bedroom with a four poster bed, for the romantics amongst you. All ten bedrooms are en-suite (shower, basin and WC). Windy Ridge has a beautiful private garden with stunning views over Whitstable, Seasalter, the sea and surrounding countryside. There is a private car park. We are licensed for weddings, baby welcoming and renewal of vows.
The gazebo in the garden is a favourite for such occasions. We also
have a function room suitable for private parties. Catering is usually
tailor made for each event, but please feel free to request a sample
menu. The M2 is very easy to access from here, as are Whitstable and Canterbury. |
