Premium holiday accommodation in Kent

Premium Hotels in Kent

Premium three and four star hotels in Kent can be split into two main types - large chain hotels which are often run by big name hotel companies and small boutique hotels and guest houses which offer a more personal service and may have more historic character with period features and traditional charm. In Kent you will find large premium hotels with leisure facilities such as swimming pools, spas, gyms and maybe even beauty salons or golf courses. For dining, most large hotels will have restaurants serving evening meals and will serve snacks all day, with many offering 24 hour room service as well.

Large Kent hotels with conference facilities have meeting rooms and conference venues which you can hire for business meetings, conferences, training days and corporate events. Whilst the large chain hotels have lots of facilities, the small boutique hotels in Kent, particularly around Canterbury, Rochester, Tunbridge Wells and the Kent Weald provide high quality accommodation in both chic contemporary hotels and traditional vintage hotel guest houses. The excellent service and attention to detail provided by staff in Kent boutique hotels persuades many tourists to stray off the beaten track of the normal hotels found in major tourist areas and to book hotel stays in the intimate, historic or romantic accommodation found in boutique hotels in rural areas of Kent such as the High Weald and Kent Downs.

Premium Bed and Breakfast Guest Houses Kent

Pricing for premium bed and breakfast accommodation is usually per person, based on two people sharing a twin or double room per night. Cheaper rates are often available if you book a longer stay for two or three nights. Be aware of seasonal variations in pricing. Obvious peak seasons are summer, school holidays, Easter breaks, and Christmas festive season. Watch for busy festival periods in Canterbury during the annual international festival and during Charles Dickens Festivals in Broadstairs and Rochester.

Premium rated guest houses and bed and breakfasts in Kent offer a more personal approach, with guesthouses usually family run. You'll often get that little bit extra in a standard priced guesthouse as compared to the more impersonal standard hotel.

Premium Holiday Cottages Kent

In Kent you can find many premium holiday cottages which have additional features and special touches that you would not find in cheaper accommodation. The beautiful Kent Downs and High Weald has lots of stunning cottages which have period features such as real log fires, four poster beds and amazing views. Kent is famous for its hopping heritage and Kent beer, and many of the old Oast hopping houses have been luxuriously modernised and are now offered as self catering holiday cottages. This is the ultimate in Kent self catering accommodation. Whilst a Kent holiday cottage with a 4 poster bed or a cottage with a Jacuzzi may be expensive, they are perfect for special romantic breaks and the secluded locations you can find in the Kent Weald or along quieter stretches of the Kent coast around Sandwich and Pegwell Bay or St Margaret's Bay near Dover means that couples can have quiet romantic getaways in Kent, far away from the busy Kent tourist resorts such as Margate, Broadstairs and Folkestone.

As well as romantic cottages for two, a premium cottage could also mean a large spacious cottage with a swimming pool, which is ideal for a large group of friends to enjoy a weekend break in Kent, where you can make you own fun. The facilities in premium cottages are excellent and usually include large flat screen TVs, DVD players, dishwashers and washing machines. Many cottages have large gardens which are great for children and in pet friendly cottages the gardens may also be used to exercise dogs.
