Travel back to the era of elegance and relax in this beautiful and spacious apartment at Florence House. Built 200 years ago in the heart of Herne Bay, this apartment combines unforgettable Georgian charm with modern comforts.
Located only 3 mins to the beach by foot and within a charming terrace of pastel coloured properties, Florence House overlooks the town square from a prominent position and puts all that Herne Bay has to offer on your door step.
This apartment has been lovingly restored to retain as many of its romantic original features as possible and combining the magnificent high ceilings and large windows creates a beautiful light and airy space.
During the day, floor to ceiling bay windows offer sea glimpses and a gentle warmth in the living room, whilst in the evening, a grand 8 arm chandelier illuminates the living room and brings focus to the original Carrara marble fireplace.
The master bedroom with its recently refurbished antique French Corbeille bed, provides a very comfortable sleep. With a 1000 pocket sprung medium support mattress, fluffy pillows and crisp professionally laundered linen, you're sure to have a good nights sleep.
The next morning will be heavenly too - Outside the bedroom window we have nesting birds that greet you with bird song and jasmine that wafts through the air. It's easy to forget you're actually in the centre of town as this apartment is very peaceful.
The kitchenette is ideal for preparing breakfast and cooking a simple evening meals alike, or later in the evening pouring a glass of wine ready to sit back and relax on the sofa to watch the latest movies and tv shows on Netflix, Amazon Prime & Disney Plus which come ready installed on the 55 Smart TV.
After a day at the beach the mira shower provides a powerful shower that is as practical with sandy toes as it is relaxing after a long day.
Because of Florence House's central location a car is not necessary to see much that Herne Bay has to offer. If however you still decide to bring your car outside there is on street parking which is free for 1 hour between 9am and 6pm Mon-Sat. We can also provide permits to park there all day at a charge of £10 per day but we will require your vehicle's registration number ahead of your visit for the permit to be processed.

Fantastic central location in Herne Bay, overlooking the town square, which regularly hosts events - particularly during the summer time, and on the last Sunday of every month the monthly craft and farmers market. Immediately opposite Florence House on the square you'll find the Herne Bay leisure centre, which has a swimming pool, gym and cinema. Local shops and larger supermarkets are just on your doorstep as are several award winning restaurants, pubs and bars. A short 3 minute walk down our road, and you'll be on the beach and sea front parade.
We are on the bus route into Canterbury which takes approx 35-45mins, or in the other direction Whitstable in 20mins. A 15min walk will take you to the train station, where you can get to London St Pancras in 1 hour and 20mins.
As standard the apartment is ready for two people, but a linen can be provided for the sofa bed can be supplied for a third or fourth person at an additional cost if 3/4 people are selected when making the booking.
We have a cot available to hire with linen, this is £20 for the first night and £10 for each additional night thereafter.
Pets are allowed providing they are clean, house trained and well behaved. This will however incur an additional £20 fee per stay.
The house is currently undergoing some redecoration to the communal areas. This should not impact the enjoyment in your stay.

    The apartment is warm and comfortable, good bed, fluffy white towels and dog friendly. The permit parking worked well. Oliver made us very welcome and recommended places to eat in Herne Bay. Despite being in the town centre, convenient for shops and the sea front, it is very quiet. We would happily return for a short break. The apartment is well equipped for two people, although some of the fittings are a little tired.

The apartment was clean and and fully equipemntbwith everything you need. The parking outside is very busy, make yourself aware of parking restrictions.
