The Sun Inn is a great place to stay, in the heart of lovely Faversham and with all the character and charm you could need. The breakfast rooms are clean and comfortable, and the excellent breakfasts were made with proper attention to detail. We ate dinner there the previous evening, and this too was excellent and great value. I shall certainly be booking again.

Historic character inn with rooms right in the centre of town. Parking is available in nearby municipal pay and display car parks - but do check with the hotel beforehand for details of which to park in as the closest is a short stay with a maximum stay of only 4 hours. There is a separate long stay car park within walking distance. Bedrooms have been stylishly brought up to twenty first century standards. Excellent breakfast. Highly recommended.
