I've ridden it maybe 5 or 6 times and it's always a joy. Also after Faversham there's not tons of civilisation - you could always jump on a train from either there or Rochester to give yourself more time around the seaside towns.
You pass several isolated beaches away from the madding crowds (there's a good one at Seasalter, just past the Sportsman pub for a secluded swim), and the stretch at Sandgate has some empty stretches.
It's not flat - the climb out of Folkestone, and the one in Dover are both challenging, but they're small blips on an otherwise fairly flattish route.
