About this property
Grand Apartment at Florence House | Heart of Herne Bay |300m to beach | King bed
Travel back to the era of elegance and relax in this beautiful and spacious two bed apartment at Florence House. Built 200 years ago in the heart of Herne Bay, this apartment combines unforgettable Georgian charm with modern comforts.
Located only 3 mins to the beach by foot and within a charming terrace of pastel coloured properties, Florence House overlooks the town square from a prominent position and puts all that Herne Bay has to offer on your door step.
The Space
This apartment has been lovingly restored to retain as many of its romantic original features as possible and combining the magnificent high ceilings and large windows creates a beautiful light and airy space.
During the day, floor to ceiling bay windows offer sea glimpses and a gentle warmth in the living room, whilst in the evening, a grand 8 arm chandelier illuminates the living room and brings focus to the original Carrara marble fireplace.
The master bedroom has our newly upgraded king sized button-backed bed. With a luxurious memory foam topped 800 spring medium support mattress, fluffy pillows and crisp professionally laundered linen, you're sure to have a comfortable nights sleep.
The next morning will be heavenly too - Outside the bedroom window we have nesting birds that greet you with bird song and jasmine that wafts through the air. It's easy to forget you're actually in the centre of town as this apartment is very peaceful.
The fully equipped kitchen is perfect for preparing breakfast and cooking your evening meals alike, or later in the evening pouring a glass of wine ready to sit back and relax on the sofa to watch the latest movies and tv shows on Netflix, Amazon Prime & Disney Plus which come ready installed on the Smart TV.
After a day at the beach the thermostatic shower provides a powerful shower that is as practical with sandy toes as it is relaxing after a long day.

Thank you, Ines, for your review. It was a pleasure to host you and hope to welcome you back to Florence House again in the future. Best wishes, Oliver
This is an excellent property! The host was very communicative and helpful. The property was very clean with good information onsite about the flat and the surrounding area. Great location near to shops, restaurants and the beach. If you are driving, be aware that parking is a bit tricky, but Oliver was very helpful with figuring out options. Our only disappointment is that we weren't able to stay longer!

Thank you, David, for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay and found the information provided around the apartment helpful. It was a pleasure helping you with the parking, and I'm glad we found a solution. Hopefully next time you'll be able to stay a little longer! Best wishes, Oliver
Great base to explore and really close to shops, cafes, beach etc. The apartment is lovely and has everything you need. One hour free parking outside perfect for dropping off bags and we found it easy to then park for free just a street away if you don’t want to organise a permit with your booking. Oli was so welcoming and informative and quick to respond to messages. We will definitely be back!

Checked out three hours ago and can’t stop talking about how much I’ve enjoyed this stay. Oliver was a fantastic host - communicative, friendly and generous (the welcome wine & biscuits! Yum!) and full of amazing recommendations for the local area. Brought our little doggo and had a great time exploring the town and seaside. Fantastic location - everything in Herne Bay within walking distance and a short drive everywhere else. Very clean and comfortable flat - and the chaise longue by the window was divine for sundowner drinks. Kept dreaming about living there!
Will 10000% be returning (hopefully this summer!)
