Deal is the only place to stay these days. The others are mere wannabes. Whitstable has had its day and is far too trendy. Let me know what type of place you are looking for and I will send you some details.
If you visit in Feb we are away most of it and we won't be able to join you at our great micro pub or let you have any of our fabulous beer that we produced in the town.
So come in March or later.

I'm a Man of Kent, born on Thanet. The Men of Kent were the only lot to face down William the Conqueror, and to this day if you're a mere Kentish man you're a second class citizen in the eyes of some locals.

My favourite area is actually a wee bit South. I love the Romney Marsh, but in particular I find the Dungeness headland absolutely fascinating. It's like a different planet down there. It's a relatively young landscape too, being built up by deposits dropped by local sea currents. The Brittania Inn is my favourite pub, and they're very dog friendly if you have a pooch - they keep a jar of dog biscuits on the bar for our 4 legged chums.

The Romney, Hythe and a Duymchurch light railway is an enchanting, if slightly pricy, journey and is unique as a light railway that is fully working - people commute on it, kids catch the train to school, proper scheduled services.

This is where you need to go when you visit The Just Reproach Micro pub. It's our regular. Put your phone on silent as it's a £1 charge if it goes off. All for charity though.

The Botany Bay Hotel is in a great location, overlooking the sea and on the coastal paths. Never stayed there, apart from having a drink in the bar, but it is a great location.
