Pass the Keys | Cosy Garden Home
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (1)
"Loved the nice soap/shower gel dispensers everywhere and the encouragement to recycle and use the food-waste caddy. The only thing that would have helped is a hand rail on the stairs - a couple of us were not 100% mobile and I was a bit concerned for their safety coming down the stairs without a hand rail. They actually managed fine and weren’t worried. Thanks for a lovely weekend!"

For families, Herne Bay offers a sandy beach perfect for building sandcastles and a delightful promenade lined with ice cream parlours and amusement arcades.
