The South East England / Kent region

Kent is in the southeastern corner of England. It borders the River Thames and the North Sea to the north, and the Straits of Dover and the English Channel to the south. France is 34 kilometres (21 mi) across the Strait. Kent is known as The Garden of England due to it's many orchards and hop gardens.
In the 11th century, the people of Kent adopted the motto Invicta, meaning "undefeated". This naming followed the invasion of Britain by William of Normandy.
In 1830 one of the earliest passenger railway services was opened by the Canterbury and Whitstable Railway Company, and in 1832 the company opened Whitstable harbour and extended the line to enable passage to London from the port. The railway has since closed but the harbour still plays an important role in the town's economy.
Kent is one of the warmest parts of Britain. On 10 August 2003, in the hamlet of Brogdale near Faversham the temperature reached 38.5 °C (101.3 °F), the hottest temperature ever recorded in the United Kingdom
Whitstable is sometimes warmer than other parts of Kent due to it being backed by the North Downs to the south.

The Whitstable area

Whitstable is a seaside town in Northeast Kent, Southeast England. It is approximately 8 kilometres north of the city of Canterbury and approximately 3 kilometres west of the seaside town of Herne Bay. It is part of the City of Canterbury district.
Whitstable is famous for its oysters, which have been collected in the area since at least Roman times. The town itself dates back to before the writing of the Domesday Book. Whitstable's distinctive character is popular with tourists, and its maritime heritage is celebrated with the annual oyster festival. Freshly caught shellfish are available throughout the year at several seafood restaurants and pubs in the town.
The longest established event is the Regatta which has moved from the original Whitstable to Tankerton for more land based events with fairground and fireworks on the elevated Slopes. Which is a pleasant half hour costal walk or 4 minute drive away.
The importance of oysters to the tradition of Whitstable is celebrated with the Oyster Festival in July each year. The nine-day festival starts with an opening parade on the nearest Saturday to St James' Day. The parade starts with the official "Landing of the Catch", followed by the procession of the oysters in a horse-drawn dray through the town, stopping to deliver the catch to local restaurants, cafes and public houses. The rest of the festival consists of entertainment for both adults and children, with local art on display around the town, and many establishments offering local fish dishes.
The Whitstable Museum and Gallery displays artifacts and portraits relating to the town's seafaring traditions, with special features on oysters, diving and shipping.
The Playhouse Theatre Whitstable is used for a variety of different acts from Herne Bay Operatic Society to Harry Hill, Jo Brand and Paul Merton.
The town has shingle/sandy beaches flanking the harbour, where sunbathing, swimming and water sports are popular. The beaches east and west are unique amongst seaside towns in the south east of England for having no promenade; making them generally peaceful. An exception is Long Beach to the immediate east of the harbour where there is a base for jet skis. A notable feature of Whitstable is The Street, a natural strip of shingle on clay bank which runs out to sea at right angles to the coast, for a distance of about half a mile. It is the last remnant of the Swale river valley to the north of the town lost to sea erosion over millennia. Located to the east of the harbour, The Street is revealed only at low tide, when it is possible to walk out along it as well as swim either side in safe, sandy bottomed shallows. A view of The Street can be seen on the hilltop lawns of Tankerton Slopes.
Whitstable Castle is situated on the border of Whitstable and the suburb of Tankerton.
A now-redundant offshore World War II sea fort is visible from the town's coast. Sailing trips are available from the harbour to the windfarm, the sea fort and a seal watching spot in the Thames Estuary.

“Idyllic” Had a fantastic weekend in Whitstable made even better by our stay at the Bakehouse. It's ideally located and everything we wanted was within a short walking distance. The attention to detail was everywhere. It's tastefully decorated and we had a great night's sleep in the comfortable bed. We've already booked another weekend there for next spring, and can't wait! Response: We are pleased you enjoyed both Whitstable and in particular The Bakehouse. We look forward to welcoming you back next year.

“Great place to escape the onset of Winter” Very clean, well equipped. Very central location. Winter arrived whilst we were in Whitstable and the Bakehouse was a lovely place to escape to - very warm and cosy. Only a short stay, but we had a lovely break and would thoroughly recommend the property. For those that don't know Whitstable it has a good number of excellent restaurants and some lovely "local" pubs. Response: Many thanks for your review. We are pleased you enjoyed Whitstable and The Bakehouse and hope you may return in the future.

“Absolutly Great” Nixe and very clean luxury holiday home, great setting in town only a short distance from the beach only downside is the live Music from the bar, but that depents total on personal view and anyway it stopps around 11:00 ( so have a glas of wine on the wonderfull terrasse ;-)) Would definitly return! (and I'm very critical when it comes to british holiday homes or Hotels ;-) ) Response: Many thanks for your review. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and our property. With regard to the music, you actually stayed during the Carnival period so the whole Town was buzzing and noisy. Obviously it wasn't too much of an issue as you have said you would stay again. We hope to welcome you back in the near future.

“We just loved The Bakehouse” This is the first time my partner and I have visited Whitstable and the visit was made even more pleasurable by staying at The Bakehouse. The property is tucked away behind the busy high street but once we'd found it we fell in love with the unusual split level open plan accommodation. It felt as if we were the first visitors as everything felt so new and clean but we understood there have been other guests. The place is very wel equipped and even had an IPod dock. The Bakehouse is very tastefully decorated with a seaside theme. We were able to eat our breakfast on the secluded decking and enjoy the sun. Whitstable is a charming and quaint town with interesting shops, fabulous restaurants and if you are looking for a light lunch of fresh oysters and a pint of beer this is the place to be. This was only a short visit but we will definitely be returning to The Bakehouse for a longer stay in the near future. Response: Thank you for your review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
