HOTELS IN KENT

To visit Kent is the visit the "Garden of England', and certainly during the spring and summer, this large county bursts into blossom and bloom.
Pilgrims have been coming to Canterbury for thousands of years, but today you can skip the long walk and explore this historic city from the comfort of a Canterbury hotel! There has been a cathedral in Canterbury since 597AD when St Augustine established his seat here. The murder of Thomas a Becket here in 1170 turned the cathedral into a major site of pilgrimage, as described by Chaucer in his famous "Canterbury Tales'. And like those pilgrims, you too can unwind with a great meal and a drink or two in Canterbury's historic centre, or go shopping for those essential souvenirs.

North of Canterbury, you can enjoy a traditional stay in a Kent seaside guest house or bed and breakfast at Whitstable, famous for its seafood and oysters, or relive those childhood days on the sands at Herne Bay.
For a really relaxing break, leave the car behind and travel through Kent's beautiful countryside by train. You can walk on the Kent Downs, or cycle the Kent lanes, and still catch a train back to your Kent accommodation in time for a traditional cream tea! Adrenaline junkies can push their pedal skills to the edge at the ‘freeride’ centre at Bedgebury Forest, before relaxing in a Kent hotel bath, no doubt!
Whether you want excitement or relaxation, a short break in Kent can deliver so much, and all within easy reach of London.
