Hotels in Faversham

Faversham makes a relaxed base for exploring north Kent, with a good spread of hotels, inns and bed and breakfasts to suit both a weekend break and a longer stay. The town centre has several historic coaching inns and pubs-with-rooms housed in timber-framed and Georgian buildings, putting you within walking distance of the market square, the creek and the brewery. Just outside town, the surrounding villages and countryside offer converted oast houses, farmhouses and small country hotels set among orchards and hop gardens, ideal if you want a quieter rural stay with easy access to both Faversham and the nearby coast at Whitstable and Herne Bay. Because Faversham sits directly on the main Kent Coast railway line, hotels here also work well as a base for day trips into Canterbury or along the coast without needing to move on each night. Booking ahead is worthwhile around the Hop Festival weekend in early September, when the town's limited number of rooms fill up quickly, and during the summer months generally, when Faversham's creekside charm and proximity to the beaches draws steady visitor numbers. Outside those peak periods, rates are generally reasonable compared with better-known Kent tourist towns, and it is usually possible to find something suitable at short notice.
