All was good, except waiting for the cooked breakfast to arrive for 45 minutes after ordering. It was clear that staff were struggling to cope with the number of guests they had in the room.

Really enjoyed our second stay at The Evenhill. Room very clean & comfortable. All the staff were very friendly & helpful. Food was excellent with large choice at reasonable prices & breakfast was just as good as the dinners. Conveniently located for coastal resorts such as Broadstairs & Herne Bay. Recommend The Evenhill for a relaxing break.
