Great tour of the historic churchyard. Led by very knowledgeable and friendly guide Barbara. Saw monuments to some of the better known residents and heard interesting stories about them and the history of the churchyard. There are over 1400 graves in the churchyard including some Commonwealth War Graves. Would be good if more could be dome to maintain some of the graves/monuments. Had the chance of a quick look around the church before the tour....very beautiful and quite large.... must return to do one of the Church Tours which are apparently held on the first Saturday of each month for much of the year.

Family of 7 stayed here in August 2020. Very clean when we arrived. Great quality restoraiton and it is an enchanting experience to be in a house with such history. All the rooms were decorated to a very authentic, high quality standard. The location is great - just outside the property there are some steps down to a beach (lesser known than the main sands and consequently not very busy at all). Sea views from 3 out of 4 bedrooms. The garden is huge and probably could do with some TLC as it was not in a good condition, but deck chairs were provided so that we could sit outside (a garden table/picnic table is the only thing we thought should have been added). House sleeps 8 and there are 4 toilets, 2 showers and 1 bath in total. 2 toilets and a shower room downstairs, 1 bathroom on the 1st floor with the bedrooms and 1 bathroom half way to the tower with a bath and a toilet. The bathrooms (especially the downstairs one) were the only rooms in the house we feel that did not have Pugin's charm in them (maybe could have featured some replicas of his tiles?). Also 2 out of 4 toilets are slighlty novelty (they are wooden benches with holes in them like in the olden days). This was funny but they smelt a bit funny and were not that comfortable to sit on. The beds were very comfortable although it was very hot with the heavy duvet they provided in summer. The kitchen, living room, breakfast room and dining room were all functional and practical. The dining room was probably the most impressive room and it was amaxing eating an evening meal here. The chapel was also very curious although we didn't spend much time here

I love it here. It’s like popping over to a friend’s for a pint and a catch up. Because it’s so small and cosy there’s none of the normal settle in to a quiet corner/booth in a big pub and keeping yourself to yourself. You end up talking to everyone and meeting new people each time you go. Gary and Julie make everyone welcome and the drinks are cheap. A good mix of real ales and ciders which is cycled regularly.

Well ! What a pleasant and unexpected surprise this music venue is and it,s on my doorstep in Thanet too ! We booked tickets in advance at a bargain £7 each to see a good band that I,ve recently discovered called Port Erin who I saw on their website were playing at this venue . If you like Radiohead/ XTC / Talking Heads then you will like this band . Most of their tracks are over 5 minutes long and this 3 piece band played very well on the night . As this venue is small and intimate , I was able to talk with Rueben - Singer/ Guitarist with Port Erin , and we had a great chat afterwards and I think that he appreciated my positive comments about his bands music incl their lastest album . You can't do this at some bigger venues ! The staff ( particularly the barmaid ) were very friendly and chatty . The bar is upstairs from the stage and is very quirky but in an interesting pleasant way Downstairs is where the stage is and the capacity for this venue I understand is approx 130 people . There is what looks like a permanent sound mixing desk and the sound was good on the night if not just slightly too loud . Another feature that I like about this venue is that you can watch what's happening on the stage on a screen upstairs in the bar area . I liked that original idea which I,ve not seen before elsewhere . There also was a projection show going on behind the band as they were playing which you probably would,nt get at other small music venues of this size . This definitely enhanced the enjoyment of Port Erin's performance in my opinion . I noticed that this venue proudly boasts that it has won the best smallest music venue in Britain award ! Well done to the owners who have obviously invested their time and money into this excellent music venue and better still that it is in Thanet too ! So , come music lovers of all types of music and get yourself down to this great little Music venue . I look forward to returning again for a gig very soon !
