Advantages: Historic town, amazing sights, great places to eat and drink Disadvantages: Parking, not much for teenagers, small area to see
for a while, but other than that there's nothing to see.
Also you are likely to encounter a fair few "youths" in the High Street dressed entirely in black with chains etc (Goths, if you're familiar with the term!) - They're harmless and shouldn't cause you to worry.

Things to do if you couldn't care less about sight-seeing
Well like I said there are plenty of pubs and restaurants on the High Street but I'm afraid there really isn't that much to do if you want to go shopping or have fun. Basically if you like drinking then you'll be quite happy in Rochester at night!

However on Saturday evenings and Sunday lunch times these places are heaving with customers, so avoid the crowds, go early and if possible ring and reserve a table. The Stag and Hounds is no exception but fortunately ...
Advantages: Modern, well equipped, good location. Disadvantages: None!
Hello all, this is my first review, so please feel free to comment and advise as you wish.
I travel a lot, and I was recommended this website so I'm going to provide reviews on the places I've visited, starting with this hotel, which I have frequented many times.

It is fairly easy to get to from surrounding airports, eg. Gatwick is 40 miles away, and Heathrow is 65 miles away. There are coaches available, if you don't have access to a car. The nearest train station is ...
