"Cute but a little cramped… for the configuration of room we booked (family room for 4). Lovely location and great staff - a painfully slow lift, which you are forewarned about!"

Frequently asked questions

Which area of Herne Bay is best to stay in for beaches?
If you're looking for the best beaches in Herne Bay, the Central Herne Bay area is your best bet, particularly around the main seafront.Central Herne Bay is home to the town's primary shingle beach, stretching along the promenade with its iconic pier. This area is ideal for couples or families who want direct access to the seaside, with plenty of space for a leisurely stroll, building sandcastles (at low tide, when more sand is exposed), or simply enjoying the sea air. You'll find convenient access to cafes and ice cream parlours right on the seafront, particularly near the clock tower and pier entrance.For a slightly more secluded beach experience, Tankerton Slopes and Beach, just to the east of the central area, offers a quieter alternative. This area is known for its colourful beach huts and the 'Street' – a natural shingle spit that emerges at low tide, great for a unique walk out into the estuary.
How much does a beach hotel in Herne Bay cost?
Prices for beach hotels in Herne Bay vary, but you can find a great deal from £106 on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week.
