We stopped here on a blustery winter day. There is evidence of improvement to the garden area. Both of us had a large, hot bowl of leek and potato soup, with bread and butter. Very tasty and warming. The walls had interesting displays about the history of the area. For many years this cafe was so depressing that we did... More

3 of us visited The Birling Gap Cafe today. Excellent cup of tea but the menu was very disappointing. It was either fish & chips or a selection of burgers. We all had cheese burgers, the bap was lightly toasted but very dry. There was a small rather dry burger on one half of the bap and two thin slices... More

This hotel is in a stunning location. The Hotel is stunning, unfortunately its stunningly poor. It is without doubt the worst hotel I have ever stayed in with the possible exception of a hotel in Istanbul that had a major cockroach problem. Scruffy staff at reception was the first indication all was not well. The musty smelling corridor lead to... More
