·40 attendees
·18 bedrooms
·1 meeting room

Camber Sands has been a secret haunt of fashionistas for years. Many a glossy magazine spread that looks as if it was shot in The Hamptons was actually snapped just down the coast from Hastings on Camber's miles of sandy beach and dunes, the models lending a touch of style that the area has sadly lacked. Now The Place is set to change all that. The conference room is ideally suited for small and private informal meetings and conference events, looking to encourage "blue sky thinking", lateral debate and creative 'brainstorming'. The meeting and conference room has a light oak floor, the walls and ceiling are painted in natural tones and the light oak tables can be configured into a variety of formats, from a more 'formal' boardroom layout to an 'informal' setting using the mix of tub chairs and settees. Two sets of doors open out onto a private decked area perfect for 'al fresco' meetings and dining. All of our 18 bedrooms are simply but comfortable decorated using natural fabrics. The beds are gloriously comfortable- the very best mattresses, soft duvets, feather or hypo-allergenic pillows and Egyptian cotton sheets. There is a choice of twin, double, triple and family size rooms all with remote controlled TV's. The rooms feature stunningly white en-suite bathrooms, complete with thick fluffy white towels and spa therapy toiletries.

Kits Coty Brasserie

15 Old Chatham Road, Bluebell Hill, Aylesford, Kent, United Kingdom, ME20 7EZ

Unusual
·80 attendees
·2 meeting rooms

Kits Coty House, beside Bluebell Hill on the Chatham-Maidstone road, is believed to be older than Stonehenge, which was erected between 1800 and 2000 B.C. It is thought that Kits Coty House was a place of worship and later part of a burial mound. A local tradition claims that a shepherd named Kit used to take shelter under the stones in bad weather, hence the origin of the unusual name. However, it is more likely that the name is a corruption of Catigern's House. The Spectre Room caters for 20 – 45 all year round and throughout June to Mid September the use of our marquee adjoining the Spectre Room enables us to cater for larger groups of up to a maximum of 80.
