Hotels in West Hythe

West Hythe makes a peaceful, uncrowded base for exploring this quieter stretch of the Kent coast, with the Royal Military Canal, Romney Marsh and the historic town of Hythe all within easy reach. Because the village itself is tiny, most visitors base themselves in nearby Hythe, Lympne or further into Romney Marsh, choosing from a mix of coastal hotels, countryside guesthouses and self-catering cottages. Hythe offers the widest choice, with hotels and B&Bs close to the seafront and the prettiest section of the Royal Military Canal, many within walking distance of the town's independent shops, cafes and restaurants. For something with more grounds and views, cottages around Lympne and Aldington look out over the marsh towards the sea, ideal for those who want peace and quiet after a day exploring Stutfall Castle or Lympne Castle. Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve also offers its own accommodation within the reserve grounds, ranging from comfortable lodges to more unusual stays close to the animals, a memorable option for families. Whichever base is chosen, West Hythe's location just off the B2067 and close to Junction 11 of the M20 means everywhere on this list is only a short drive away, making it easy to combine a stay with days out across Romney Marsh, the Cinque Port towns, and the Kent coast towards Folkestone and Dover.
