Benefit from two allocated parking spaces, before heading through the enclosed patio, and into your new abode. Be welcomed into the homely, open-plan living space, where you can prepare and enjoy meals, and unwind with the TV for entertainment. Make the most of your outdoor space, securely designed for your four-legged friend, where you can bask in the sunshine and enjoy a barbecue with your favourite tipple in hand.

Come morning, start your itinerary in the local area, where you can visit The Seaside Museum Herne Bay, people watch from Herne Bay Pier, or enjoy a beachside stroll along Herne Bay Beach, before stocking up on the essentials or dining out, selecting between the likes of The Ship Inn, The Green Door Deli, and Salt and Light bistro. Herne Bay also hosts a Saturday market, where you can purchase artisan cakes and breads, free range eggs and flowers from local suppliers. Follow the coastline along to tour the grand grounds of Whitstable Castle & Gardens, head to the Harbour Market Whitstable, showcasing a range of locally-produced arts and crafts, or discover Whitstable Beach Front where you can also partake in a Whitstable Oyster Tour. For nature lovers, be sure to pack your walking boots to hike through either East Blean Woods, or the Stodmarsh National Nature Reserve, whilst the cathedral city of Canterbury is reachable by car, brimming with museums and cultural attractions to enjoy, such as the Canterbury Roman Museum and The Beaney House of Art & Knowledge. Experience the best of Kent at Baron's Mews.
Herne Bay has been a popular holiday destination for many years. With its award-winning shingle beach and restored Victorian memorial gardens, this offers families the perfect, relaxing holiday location. Herne Bay's seafront is home to the world's first freestanding purpose-built Clock Tower, built in 1837 which looks down onto the well-kept promenade. As expected when visiting an English seaside town, there are many eateries serving everything from traditional fish and chips to exotic delicacies, and of course, no seaside town is complete without an ice cream parlour and Herne Bay has two! The historic city of Canterbury is only 7 miles away, with its famous cathedral and historic past, offering theatres, museums and art galleries as well as shops, restaurants, and trips along the river. For a day of cobbled streets and browsing around quaint little shops, then make for Whitstable, famous for its Oyster festival and a popular harbour town at any time of year. Herne Bay is ideally situated for exploring this part of the Kent coast.

Christine
Itâs compact but perfectly contained. The patio area at the front was useful for relaxing after a day out. Real grass would have been a bonus for Agnes ( retriever) but the park and beach is a stones throw away so it wasnât a problem The double bed is extremely comfy. Off road parking was a real bonus

It was really comfortable and furnished with care and attention to the smallest detail. It was a lovely surprise to find staples like tea bags provided and some luxuries too - a home from home just a few steps from the beach and a very short walk to shops and restaurants. A lot to do both locally and in the area - we needed at least another week! We had fabulous weather so could eat breakfast outside and take advantage of the many fabulous walks along the coast. A perfect place for a holiday as relaxed or as busy you want it to be. Highly recommended :-)

The cottage is very well equipped with a really nice outside area which is fully enclosed. Literally 2 mins around the corner is the beach which is dog friendly. The town centre is 5 mins walk and the pier and amusements a 10 min walk. The owners, Alan and Michelle, are very friendly and helpful. The complimentary food basics were much appreciated as was the doggy stuff provided. Really enjoyed our stay here and hope to book again.
