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.

There was no cleaning team. It was your partner who failed to clean the bungalow. The same partner that arrived at 10.10am, shooshing us out the place, despite me spending 2 hours cleaning on my arrival. As you know I took all photos and sent them to you. You said I could rent it again next xmas as it suited my needs after you led me to believe it was down to a cleaning company. Even then you failed to respond to me. It's extremely rude. Anyone thinking of booking this property, please be aware that in the winter it's very draughty, which we realised as the weather got colder earlier this week. Not having any curtains adds to this and the fact that the duvets were light summer ones, meant that you had ti sleep with heating on every night. Which became very uncomfortable. The beds are firm so if you like a medium mattress, book elsewhere. The points I have mentioned above are a great shame, as the bungalow is a lovely size. Every utensil you could think of (accept a tin opener) and high spec kitchen. Not so comfy sofa but okay Lots of storage space. Fab Size garden Beware of the fact theirs no slip mats in the shower and it also tends to overflow, so need to constantly stop and let the water drain away. It's very irritating when you have someone try to insult your intelligence. I only know that the people that are currently renting the property have a cleaner space to live in, because I cleaned it!
