Herne Bay, Whitstable
Bun Penny Apartment
Bun Penny Apartment is a stunning, contemporary apartment on the seafront at Herne Bay. It boasts not one but two balconies, both with side sea views and both are fabulous spaces to socialise, sunbathe, read, relax and just enjoy looking out over the promenade and pier and the roof tops of Herne Bay.
This stunning apartment is stylishly decorated, light and spacious, and has a lovely large open plan living space. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms, so perfect for couples or small families. There is the added benefit of private gated parking for one car as well.
You might wonder about the name of the apartment – the Bun Penny was the name of a former public house which was on the site of the apartment block. Whilst the pub was well known to locals, it became known nationwide after David Walliams and Matt Lucas of Little Britain fame filmed a number of ‘Edwardian Lady’ sketches in the pub.
Herne Bay is a fantastic coastal town, originally built by the Victorians for the London day trippers, hence the gorgeous Victorian architecture of the Captain’s houses on the seafront. Today it still retains some of the old-fashioned seaside charm of amusement arcades, mini golf and the pier rides which are so popular with children, but it also has some lovely restaurants and cafes, boutique shops and the popular Kings Hall entertainment building featuring many great theatrical and musical acts. You won’t struggle to find things to do in Herne Bay.
Should you want to travel further afield, there is a magical walk along the promenade to the iconic Reculver Towers, or in the other direction is the vibrant fishing town of Whitstable well know for its oysters and lovely arts and music vibe.

Reviews
Herne Bay
Bun Penny Apartment is ideally located in Herne Bay, a classic Kent seaside town with a relaxed, traditional feel and wide open coastal views. The seafront and beach are close by, perfect for leisurely walks along the shoreline, stopping to watch the waves or enjoy the town’s nostalgic charm. Herne Bay’s long seafront and spacious layout make it easy to explore on foot, with plenty of spots to pause and take in the sea air.
The town centre offers a good mix of independent shops, cafés and pubs, while the pier and bandstand reflect Herne Bay’s Victorian heritage. Central Beach and East Beach provide plenty of space year-round, and Reculver Towers and Roman Fort sit just along the coast, offering striking scenery and a fascinating glimpse into Kent’s past. Whitstable is only a short drive or cycle away, adding harbour-side dining, galleries and famous seafood to the mix.
For walkers and cyclists, coastal routes link Herne Bay with Whitstable and Reculver, creating easy, scenic days out. Herne Bay railway station provides direct services to London and Canterbury, making Bun Penny Apartment a well-connected base for short seaside breaks or longer stays exploring north Kent’s coastline.
