Herne Bay is such a beautiful town and we all take pride in our community. The seafront gardens opposite the property are immaculately maintained and regular free events are held by the community in both the bandstand and at the clock tower. The high street has a range of independent boutiques and all the family favourites as well as a thriving Saturday market. We are no more than two minutes walk from local bars and restaurants which cater to all requirements and less than five minutes drive from popular whitstable and 15 mins from historic Canterbury. You can enjoy walks along the seafront to whitstable or Hampton, where you can enjoy the best sunset views. hernebay offers plenty of options to eat out ranging from Turkish to traditional fish and chips ( which are best eaten on the beach)!
