The 30 Best Exploring in Gravesend

“Nice place, clean, quiet and air conditioned throughout. Conveniently located across the car park to a Toby if you need a quick roast. Free parking too which is becoming rare, overall top marks.”

“Great hotel for stop over if traveling to ferries Eurostar. Always good for great staff and although yes it is old building so I don’t expect top notch rooms but they are kept spotless. Lots of free parking but remember to register when you arrive. They don’t do food or drink here but there is a bar next door that does and Nell’s cafe up road for amazing American themed breakfast”

“Girly's is a nice bouquet. There's plenty of nice smart clothes and outfits to choose from. There is always something to find.”

“Thumbs up! Great nursery! The staff at Little Explorers Kindergarten are great and always cared for my twins . We've been with them since September 2018 and cannot find them a fault. They show dedication and my twins are so happy to be there. They create a lovely, fun and warm environment for the children and they are true 'kids' lovers', which in my opinion is one of the most important characteristics for people working in a school setting.I have no reservations about leaving my daughters in the care of this nursery and would recommend it to other families living in the Gravesend area. As well I want to say Thank you for all received support.”

“Really great experience so far, was displaced from our accommodation due to works and Kate was super helpful and understanding. Genuinely made us feel at ease having to shift our whole accommodation so late in the evening! Great rooms and great hygiene!”

“Friendly family run business, very attentive, professional and reliable.”

“Olena is very professional and very knowledgeable about treating my child’s condition. She has made me feel very comfortable at each stage of my child’s treatment providing me with information and guidance. Highly recommended her services”

“Really friendly and knowledgeable staff! I have anxiety and was really scared to get my lip pierced but the whole process was quick and as painless as possible! I was given a tonne of really helpful advice about how to look after my new piercing and the aftercare being free is an added bonus. So happy with how today went and I'll definitely be getting more done in future!”

“Great selection of tools and really well priced”

“As someone with autism, I often find it difficult to feel comfortable and relaxed when staying away from home — but Jassamine Guest House truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, their service was outstanding. The staff were friendly, understanding, and respectful, which made a huge difference in helping me feel at ease. The building itself is beautifully maintained, and the rooms are clean, cozy, and thoughtfully arranged. You can tell they really care about the comfort and experience of their guests. Unlike many standard hotels, Jassamine Guest House offers a more personal and calming atmosphere. The environment felt safe, quiet, and welcoming — which is especially important for people like me who may be sensitive to noise and overwhelming spaces. Another great point is the pricing. Not only are their rates very reasonable, but they often beat regular hotel prices, making it a much better option in terms of both value and experience. I highly recommend Jassamine Guest House to anyone — whether you're neurodivergent or not. It's a wonderful place that truly stands out.”

“Excellent park with lots to do. Gravesham did really well to include in so many activities, like rock climbing, bouncy castle, football, laser tag, golf ball etc Kids had an amazing 2.5hrs.”

“Amazing value and delicious Langosz!!! Authentic, Hungarian, friendly and reasonably priced. What else do you need? I have been eating here about 3 times a month for a while and will continue doing so.”

“Honestly hands down one of the best service I’ve received. I’ve always found the team at the Gravesend store very helpful, very polite and professional. Today was no exception, Rosie, James and Alex - thank you for an excellent service and for your help.”

“For work purposes, I've stayed on and off at this hotel for 28 years. Always found the staff to be extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are spotlessly clean and beds and bedding very comfortable. Food has never been anything but good and there's never been a problem pre-ordering whilst I visit the small gym. Access to the hotel is easy from the A2 but road noise is minimal and there's plenty of parking. My go to hotel when I'm working in this area - far better than a identikit chain.”

“A lovely team greeted us at the Clarendon, we only stayed for one night. But will be back to use a hub to visit the surrounding areas. The rooms were fine and decent, one of the strongest showers too. They have a bar here, which is brilliant priced. A car park and garden area by the river were also a nice point.”

“Excellent food and service, I had the most delicious meal (chicken mango delight) cannot wait to go back! nice quiet relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend.”

“Beautiful food! We have ordered here many times and each time it gets even better. Really fresh authentic Punjabi food, good value for money and always delivered on time. Will keep recommending to our family and friends”

“Written on behalf of Margaret who was gratefully helped by Ali in August. Ali is wonderful she is a dog walker and dog sitter, also helps with visits to the vet which she did for me and my precious dog, Ali was very kind and gentle and she waited at the vets while I had my lovely dog put to sleep, she stayed with me and took me home. Very reasonable cost. Thank you Ali”

“Friendly staff, and good range of goods”

“Just bought a bed from The Bed Centre, great value and helpful service. I will be recommending them.”

“My son Max and I have attended Baby Sensory since he was 3 months old and we have both loved every single class. The themes each week are great (we try to coordinate our clothes too) with lots of thought going into the props and music being used. Some highlights for us were World Book Week & Mothers Day but at 20+ classes we have loved each one as well as made lifelong friends with some wonderful Mumma's & Bubbas along the way. Our class leader Renee is simply fantastic, she clearly loves all the babies and is so understanding of their needs but also those of the parents too always making sure that everyone is comfortable and happy. We sing Say Hello & Wave Goodbye regularly at home and I imagine we will continue to do so long after our term of sessions are complete. For anyone looking for a baby class in the area, I would highly recommend giving Baby Sensory a shot. Love Beth & Max”

“2 years ago we was looking for a mattress to put in our loft and a friend had recommended Bennett and Brown, our initial thought was that's a long way to go for a mattress but after speaking with Mr Miles Bennet he reassured us that he could match any price and a free delivery to London. Well we popped in one weekend and had a look at what they had and i was impressed with there services and knowledge and more importantly there honesty, for them it was not about making money but more about getting the right bed for us. we purchased a Tempur mattress like for like and cheaper than the shops in London and as per his word it was delivered on time and the delivery men took the mattress to were we wanted and laid it in its place. we also got a call back to make sure that everything had gone smoothly and that we was happy. a year later we returned and purchased 2 beds, Mattresses and pillows for the children and again it was delivered, the beds were built and placed in the respective rooms and the old unites removed and taken away all inclusive of the price. I would not hesitate to recommend Bennett and Brown to whoever wants beds and furniture.”

“Stopped here a few times while working away - Betty is an absolute diamond - happy to help and always smiling and up for a chat - would highly recommend a stay at Sunnyside”

“Had this the first time last night, fantastic food and big portions. Go here if your hungry hungry hungry. Also 20% off as collected.”

“Absolutely amazing place, the staff are outstanding and the whole atmosphere just screaming family orientation! Can not recommend this place enough”
