Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Deal High Street puts independent boutiques at your doorstep, while the seafront and pier wait two minutes away on foot.
The rooms
Individually styled bedrooms feature bold color palettes, vintage vinyl setups, and king beds, with roll-top bathtubs in select quarters.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
The restaurant serves modern British bistro dishes and cocktails along green velvet banquettes, drawing on local Kentish produce.
Bagner’s brief was to overhaul the interiors and make it a home: eclectic and uncluttered in style, with a mix of Victorian, modern and mid-century aesthetics, lots of bold colour and print.
How it began
Co-owner Christopher Hicks restored the 200-year-old pub that was originally operated by his family's brewery until the 1950s.
