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.

The Cathedral is undoubtedly the main tourist attraction and you need several hours to fully appreciate the architecture and the features of the building. It isn't a cheap day out (currently the cost of entry is £18.00 per person - October 2025) but still represents good value, as you can use this to visit any number of times within one year. Despite the distance we will go back again, as I now know there are several things we missed during our visit. There are other things to see, but we only had one day in the city itself and the Cathedral was our main choice to visit.

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 was staying with my daughter and it was not a nice experience. Jacuzzi has been faulty for over a month. Breakfast was mediocre, not good quality ingredients.

I have to say that Gravesend is not the prettiest of towns with many derelict buildings. The most impressive building in the town is the Sikh Temple. The town is very busy with traffic but is fairly easy to navigate around. We stayed in a very pleasant guest house outside of town which was perfect for going to Leo's Music Venue. This is the only reason we came to Gravesend. We ate at The Three Daws pub which has been pretty good on both times we visited. Traditional British Pub with a good British Menu. We had breakfast at The Hot Rod American Diner in Northfleet which again was very good!

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.

An old seaside town with the best harbour in the south east, plenty of walking though the mainly Regency style town, with several bijou cafes & restaurants. Fast links into London by rail & car make it ideal for visiting historic Thanet and especially the Spitfire & Hurricane museum, RAF Manston museum as well. Not as close as Dover/Folkestone to France but on a clear day it can be seen, many artists loved the sea panoramas including Turner.
