Bay Tree Broadstairs

The is in an amazing location and the rooms are very stylishly decorated and very comfortable. The owner and staff were friendly and helpful and it’s really close to plenty of great places to eat and drink in the town as well as a stones throw from the beach and walks

Can’t fault this hotel. Great location ! 5 minute walk into Broadstairs centre. Overlooking the sea. There is a large car park at the hotel which doesn’t seem to appear on facilities, also plenty of off road safe parking. Maybe not that easy at the height of summer. Room was spacious/clean had everything we needed. Had room number 1 which is great if you have any trouble walking etc as it is designed for the less able. Door to the car park. With a small patio garden with table and chairs. Breakfast was fab ! No complaints what so ever!! And lovely towels too!! 😊. They also have a lovely dog and lovely staff !

Excellent hotel. Stayed for three nights in late October 2023 in Room 6 for end-of-season holiday. Clean, well-maintained (sometimes these older buildings show signs of wear and tear, not this one) and attractive, clearly a lot of effort has been put into the decor and fixtures and fittings. Pretty and comfortable lounge at the front of the building with period furniture and decor. The Harry Potter elements are understated and charming, and I'm not a big Harry Potter fan. The bold solid colors on the walls and the pretty carpets have a pleasing effect. How often have you stayed at one of these hotels and the stairs creak and groan as you go up and down? Not here. Although I did not need the parking, the size of the parking lot behind the building was impressive. Bed was very comfortable and I had a nice three-window sea view. Even in rainy weather, I was able to keep the windows open to be able to hear the sound of the surf without rain getting in. Windows look new, and open and close very easily (in these older buildings windows can be wonky). Bathroom (wetroom really) fixtures are modern and lovely, if a bit minimalist (I would have liked a larger sink). Water pressure in the shower is excellent and it got nice and hot. The wood (or composite wood-look) floors in the room are noticeably high-quality. One of the most important things to me about a hotel is the towels, and the towels at The Bay Tree are luxurious -- better than the towels I have at home! Service is professional and friendly. Location is a 5 - 10 minute walk to the center or Broadstairs. Although technically "beachfront" as there is only a (quiet) road between the building and the waterfront, be advised that the hotel sits atop a cliff, so you can't just walk straight out to the beach. There is a path down to the beach very close by, so not a problem. Very quiet neighbourhood, dead silent at night. Food is a mixed bag. I had breakfast twice, both times the Eggs Benedict (I should say "egg" Benedict as there was only one egg on two muffins), the muffins and Hollandaise sauce were especially good. Nice fruit salad and juices make it a good value. I also had the Sunday roast, which was less successful. They didn't have any beef (the chef came out and explained their last meat delivery didn't have the beef, and he was not going to go to the local Tesco to get beef there, so I salute the commitment to quality), so I went with the pork. Gravy was luxurious, and the potatoes were beautifully crispy, but the rest was just ok. For £20, you could probably do better at a local pub. Dog-friendly hotels sometimes make me cringe, but no issues with noisy dogs. There are only a handful of beachfront hotels in Broadstairs. I've also stayed at the Royal Albion, which is also nice but much bigger. As I plan future trips to Broadstairs, my favourite English seaside town, I will definitely make the Bay Tree my first choice.
