The UK city of Rochester in Kent is famous for its historic cathedral, Norman castle and traditional Dickens festivals every June and December. The city's main hotels are located close to the River Medway and boat trips are popular with tourists to explore the southern English county that is known locally as "the garden of England."
The historic Medway Manor Hotel overlooks the Chatham Docks and Medway River on Rochester High Street in Kent. The hotel is 25 miles from London city center and Heathrow airport which takes an hour and 15 minutes by car via the M25. The Grade 2 listed building was originally used by Royal Navy Officers as accommodation and it was developed into a family-run guest house and hotel in 1974 before the present owners took over in 2004 and embarked on a modernization program.
