ONE of the newest hotels to come to Kent, Smith’s Townhouse is a cosy bolthole for a seaside escape.
Here is everything you need to know about staying there.

While the bathrooms are small, there is enough space for big walk-in showers and luxury Ren toiletries.
Rooms start from £140 on room-only basis. See smithstownhouse.co.uk.
What is there to eat and drink?
The downstairs bar is an ideal spot for a cocktail and nibbles. For something more substantial, nip around the corner to Bar Ingo.
Recently named one of the UK’s best restaurants, it’s a cosy, small-plate place worth trying to squeeze into.
Portuguese wine, braised beef, crispy ham croquettes and juicy octopus are just some of the best dishes to try.
Head back to Smiths for breakfast, though.

What else can you do there?

Is it family friendly?
No, each room sleeps just two people.
Are there accessible rooms?
Being in a Grade II listed building, the rooms are not accessible as there is no lift access.
