Ebury Hotel, Canterbuty Kent

Advantages: Freindly
Disadvantages: For the More Mature Traveller

...Ebury hotel, London Road, Canterbury £70 B&B (not sure if this is corporate rate) I stayed at this hotel for work, arrived on a Monday night and stayed 2 nights. I phoned before I arrived, lucky I did mainly it was to double check where they were but I asked about meals etc, some hotels have room service. The Chef goes home at 9pm so whilst on the phone the lady asked me if I wanted anything. I said a chicken salad, as it was quite late. I checked in and about 5 minutes later my chicken salad was at the door, I was surprised at the prompt service. The Hotel is set in very nice surroundings I didn?t realise until the next day, it is on the main road but you don?t know whilst in the hotel it?s self. The hotel is very close to the centre of Canterbury and from the car park you can see the Cathedral. I would say the centre is about...

Castle Museum in Kent

Advantages: Eclectic Museum set in pleasant grounds
Disadvantages: Not as good as nearby Hever Castle.

... Visitor Information Chiddingstone Castle is 5 miles from Edenbridge in Kent, between the two more famous historic attractions of the area, Hever Castle and Penshurst Place. Travelling by car, without a sat nav, we found it best to follow the signs to nearby Hever Castle on the major roads. As we got nearer, on the B2027, we followed the Chiddingstone signs. If you have a sat nav, you will need the postcode TN8 7AD. They are open Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, from Easter until the last Sunday of September. Information about additional open days can be found in the What?s On Section of their website, which includes Halloween and Christmas events. Prices are £6 adults, £4 children aged 5-13, under 5s are free. There are also family and season tickets. History Exhibition rooms in the current...

Some fields in Kent

Advantages: Commonplace
Disadvantages: Rare

...that. It would also be a safer place - safer for the diversity of nature, and safer from our reliance on monoculture, on chemicals and on high energy inputs for our food production. We as a species are taking a gamble that all these things will be sustainable, even in the face of the changing climate that our numbers and activities engender, and it is a gamble that may well be lost. One of the values of places like Marden Meadow is that they remind us we should think about such things. What's more, there's no charge for entry, which makes it especially good value for money. If you feel you ought to be giving something back for your enjoyment of the place, you can always make a donation to Kent Wildlife Trust, which owns it. * Who's in charge * Kent Wildlife Trust is an independent charity dedicated to nature conservation in...

A - Z of Kent

Advantages: Totally comprehensive guide to Kent
Disadvantages: Although navigation is easy, the volume of information is enormous and to fully explore the whole site could take days

...www.kent.gov.uk is the official Kent County Council website. Not the sort of site you’d pick to browse if you’re looking for thrill a minute fun and excitement, but if you have an interest in Kent for any reason, be it from the point of view as a current or perspective resident, business person, or visitor, it is well worth a look..... “Welcome to Kent, the Gateway between the UK and Europe, and to Kent County Council's website. This is a new site and content will be regularly added and updated. We hope it gives you lots of information about Kent, Kent County Council and its services.” The home page is visually plain and simple, displaying the short greeting message (above), in basic black arial font on a crisp white background.

Chartwell House, Kent - Home of Churchill

Advantages: Fascinating house, lovely gardens, easy to find
Disadvantages: A bit pricy for a family

...Chartwell House in Kent is most famous for being the home of Winston Churchill and as such acts as a museum and shrine to his life and works. However, it is set in an extremely beautiful location with wonderful gardens and gorgeous views that are a pleasure in their own right and a good guide as to why Churchill himself loved the place so much and why he spent the majority of his life there. The entire site has been owned and run by the National Trust for a number of years and in terms of facilities and general quality is pretty much what you'd expect. On with the details. ############################### # Getting There ############################### Chartwell House is open all year except Dec 25th and is near Westerham, Kent. The National trust website gives useful notes on getting there by road, rail, bike, bus...

Review of Chartwell House, Kent

The Strand Palace Hotel

Advantages: Central location, clean
Disadvantages: Food, rooms

...We stayed at this hotel in London a little over a month ago now for two nights, we chose this hotel mainly because of the central location and because it was only a ten minuite walk from the show we had booked to go too. Check in was very quick - About ten minuites and the staff at the reception seemed very friendly. My first thoughts on the hotel was that it looked really clean and that it was nicely decorated and it looked modern. I was a little dissapointed with our room as it was very small and basic, our room had a double bed, tea and coffee making facilities, a tv with satellite and a small, basic en suite bathroom with a shower. The views from our room very very poor - A block of offices which made our room dark as they were so close. The hotel has two bars and two resturaunts, the bars were again nicely decorated...

Hotel International

Advantages: Location, breakfasts
Disadvantages: Poor rooms

...I recently went on a cultural girlie trip with a friend to Paris. I was left to do all the booking. I was looking for a reasonable hotel, near a metro stop, which included breakfast. I came across the Hotel International on various travel sites and it seemed fairly highly rated so I booked us in for three nights. LOCATION: The hotel is located 6 Rue Auguste Barbier in the 11th Arrondissement. The nearest Metro stop is Garcourt which was a two minute walk away and it was a five minute walk to Republique which gives good links to other lines. It's not really central enough to avoid the Metro and walk to the attractions but it was located so close to a stop that it seemed ideal. PRICE: Prices vary depending on size of room and season. There are singles, doubles and triples available. We paid Euro254 for the whole time...

***Beggars Can't be Choosers***

Advantages: good value
Disadvantages: hate the people!!

...When I am in the motherland of Tenterden, Kent, the pub that I nearly always end up in is the County Hotel, in Ashford. That doesn't make too much sense, as it's a good 15 miles away from where I live, but because my school was in Ashford, most of my friends are too, and so I have drive all the way over there to meet them. The County is a Wetherspoon's pub, and apparently hotel, although I am pretty much stumped about the features of the hotel, seeing as I have never noticed any suitcase-bearing revellers in their, or in fact any stairs to the rooms. It is a mystery to my friends and I. I feel like booking in just to see where these magical rooms are! Or maybe its just a name? Anyway, from here on in, I will telling you about the pub and restaurant facilities only. Anyway, Wetherspoon's are a countrywide chain of public houses...

The Garden of England

Advantages: All in opinion
Disadvantages: All in opinion

...The image of Kent as the garden of England probably grew out of tales passed on by travellers who marvelled at the acres of Spring fruit blossom beside north Kent roads.Kent is one of the most conservative counties in England.It is the largest non-metropolitan county in the country but its complexity results more from its long history and its unusual geaography.Country crafts are still strong,village life is probably the strongest in Southern England. Kent has five parts quite distict in their appearance,outlook and style. 1)North & East Kent:Almost flattened by history,this part of Kent runs North of the North Downs from Dartford through the Medway towns and the Isle of Sheppey to the now land-locked Isle of Thanet,including Canterbury,and down the coast to Dover.Here the historic associations remain - this is the territory...

Kent Marine Salt

Advantages: Dissolves quickly, good trace elements, no waste products left
Disadvantages: Bags are difficult to re-seal when opened

...Kent Marine is one of the leading names in marine aquaria. They make a variety of products to help marine fishkeeperes to improve and simplify their set ups. Kent?s salt is becoming one of the most popular in this country. It is aimed for fish only or reef systems, and contains extra calcium, strontium, iodine and many trace elements which are all exceptionally useful for reef tanks. These products also make it one of the best for marine keepers that use reverse osmosis water, as it replaces the important elements. This salt contains no traces of phosphate, ammonia, nitrite or nitrate. It gives a pH of 8.4 and dissolves very quickly. Calcium and Magnesium levels are very high which helps corals in an invert system to grow at their maximum . I have been using this salt throughout my marine fishkeeping experience and have...
