Rochester Seaside Accommodation

Rochester is a historic city in Kent well known for its rich heritage, literary connections, and cultural significance. While Rochester is not directly on the coast, it's situated along the beautiful River Medway and offers access to nearby coastal areas. One such destination is Whitstable, just a short drive away, known for its charming beaches and famous oysters. Whitstable's shingle beaches provide a delightful escape for beachcombing and seafood enthusiasts. Rochester itself is celebrated for its historic cathedral, Norman castle, and as the setting for Charles Dickens' works. The annual Dickens Festival brings his literary legacy to life.

With its cultural events, historic landmarks, and proximity to coastal gems, Rochester serves as an excellent starting point for exploring the Kent coast and enjoying the blend of history and natural beauty that this region has to offer. Here you'll find a selection of Rochester cottages for rent, all of which can be booked online with the property manager direct.
