FAQs about hotels in Kent

The Peaceful Garden of England

The so-called Garden of England, Kent is known for its lush greenery. Although within easy reach of London, it’s a world away from the hustle and bustle. So much so, that at many Kent hotels, spa facilities come as standard. One is, unsurprisingly, in the sophisticated spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells.

Nearby in Lamberhurst is medieval Scotney Castle, surrounded by a moat. Also moat-bound and with Kent accommodation available on Booking.com are Hever Castle and Leeds Castle (the latter in a village not to be confused with the city of Leeds).

The county town is Maidstone, but its most famous city is Canterbury, whose magnificent cathedral is the seat of the Church of England’s highest post. Rochester also has an impressive cathedral.

To the west is Margate, one of the top Kent seaside towns. Other resorts with long beaches are Broadstairs, Ramsgate and Deal. Around the coastline, Dover is known for its white cliffs, castle and the ferries crossing the English Channel to France. To the west is the Channel Tunnel by Folkestone, and Eurostar trains from St Pancras also stop at Ashford inland.

Other popular Kent attractions are the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch railway, Brands Hatch motor racing circuit, and the conical oast houses so typical of this part of England.

Hever Castle was incredibly magical and every aspect exceeded my expectations. The staff was spectacular and very helpful, the rooms very incredible, the washroom was modern, the grounds were stunning. The breakfast was delicious! We had lunch at the gardens on-site, we chose outside seating, nice selection of food, the sponge cake was heavenly. The gift shop was a nice touch as well as the ice cream. We took a local taxi the hotel recommended to the Wheatsheaf for dinner which was amazing as well. I didn’t want to leave Hever Castle. So amazing.

AMAZING! Everything was outstanding! Mom and me wanted to come to Marin hotel for some years now and we were not disappointed to say the least. Room was big and comfortable, breakfast (and lunch/dinner) was delicious, parking is easy (when hotel parking is full, you can park by the street in front of hotel - free of charge). Location is great - close to Whitstable, castle and amazing for sea front strolls! Would highly recommend.

Pleasant. Would not stay again until there is a refurb and walls are soundproof due to hearing moans and groans in the room next door at 12am.

I grew up near Whitstable and having moved away from Kent 20 years ago, I always love visiting this area again when visiting family in Canterbury/Whitstable. The town has developed nicely - it makes the most of the harbour area and the town itself now has some lovely boutique shops and a good range of interesting places to visit, including some lovely restaurants and cafes. There's always a buzz there and I enjoy being there, whatever the weather. It's not somewhere I'd choose for sunbathing (not that sort of beach) but for shopping, eating, general wandering and taking in some sights, it's always a lovely place to visit.
