Well positioned for all the amenities and with excellent transport links. We would definitely recommend High Tide, and we would strongly consider using it again! Kind regards, Robert and Elizabeth.

This property was so convenient- we travelled to Herne Bay by train and used public transport all week. The bus stops were literally around the corner (60-90 second walk) and the rail station was a short bus ride or 15 min walk away. Herne Bay has plenty to offer- we enjoyed many peaceful walks along the esplanade. Close to hand were take-aways, restaurants, cafes, pubs and supermarkets. The property is well equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable stay- we highly recommend High Tide and hope to return in the near future.

Parking in the street for one hour for drop off and pick up of luggage but free parking on Beacon Hill which was only a short walk away. Promenade and sea at the bottom of East Street so very convenient. Bus stops just around the corner to go to either Canterbury, Margate etc. In fact great bus service all round. All in all a perfect spot for us.
