    The 1st visit was back in May 2019. Due to no fault of my own I didn't read the pay policy section…read morein much detail and when arrived was asked for payment up front. Once paid, was handed the keys but had to find the room on my own which isn't very friendly, the receptionist gave very basic instructions but didn't mention it was up three flight of stairs at the top of the hotel. Going back to the reception, this was not clear as stood in the doorway of the bar to confirm reservation. Not professional at all, spoke quietly my private details so customers at the bar didn't overhear. Once entering the room, came to a nice and big airy family room. All decor was standard and you could tell that it had been previously touched with a lick of paint. Unfortunately not all furniture was safe to sit in as a chair in the lounge area had a wobbly leg and immediately broke off when sat off. This is reported to the reception straight away as the room was classed as a family room. Imagine a child sitting in the chair then falling over, it would of been more an incident hopefully nothing major. I must mention that there was a fridge in the room and only small which isn't great as they don't serve breakfast only a few complimentary items above. The coffee machine had no instructions and was rather complex so those with no knowledge of one would of been parched. My stay was for two nights and due to budget it would of been worth staying at an accommodation that offered bed and breakfast. A night or two would be perfect as its in the centre of all amusements, shops, restaurants and the big plus that hasn't had a mention yet is the sea view. You couldn't get nearer other than be in the sea itself with the pier which is just for a pleasant walk along on a dry day. There is a restaurant at the end but didn't stay open until late. I could go on about the dangers of the pier but this review is about the hotel. This hotel offers a variety of different feature rooms, I would recommend you to view the rooms before booking. Other than that its a standard and calm place to stay.

    Beautiful facade and right on the beach front, the Clarendon provided poor accommodations. This was…read moreour first visit to the UK and Deal, so we had great expectations. Be sure to bring the following items: a telephone (the room did not have any in case of any room emergency); an air conditioner or fan (we had the unfortunate luck to come on one of the hottest days in years. Our room was well over 90 degrees with only one small window opening); bug spray (the window had no screen, so the room filled with small flying insects); extra towels, and your own internet (spotty connection at best).

    Lovely place to stay before our cruise. Alex the host, went above and beyond to help us with…read morecarrying our bags , making recommendations, and just being great in general. Our suite was so peaceful & equipped with anything we might need. Absolutely would stay here again anytime. Lots of things within walking distance.

    I visited here for 1 night with my husband and we found many great things about this B&B. The…read morehusband and wife team who owns it are very friendly. The location is great; very short walk into the center of town. There were a total of 3 heaters in the room (1 of which is in the bathroom). It was very chilly when I arrived, and it was so nice to thaw out in a warm space. My room - the Victoria - was quite spacious and had very lovely artwork along the walls. Cute little couch, too. There is a small "lounge" with a computer and mini fridge. We didn't have breakfast, so I can't comment on the food. Wi-fi is available in the lounge, but the owner said it's availability in the rooms varied depending on location in the house. Our connection was pretty good on the ground floor. We had stayed 3 days at a neighboring B&B (Number One Guest House) and the difference was night & day. Churchill was superior in every way. Bit more expensive, but worth it. The reason for 3 stars is simply the bed. All I felt were the metal springs. So uncomfortable, creaky, and sloping toward the center. Whether an establishment is a hotel, B&B, guesthouse, etc. I feel the most important aspect is the bed. We're here to spend the night, yes? Then let's not keep using mattresses when they are years past their expiration date. Maybe the beds in the other rooms were better? I can only hope. Note on payment: Their website says Paypal is accepted, but upon arrival we were told cash only. Check out time is 10AM. Overall, I would recommend, but check the mattress before committing to a room. If they do upgrade the beds, I'd be happy to come back and update my rating to 5 stars :)
