Kent countryside B&B nr Faversham

This elegant, early Georgian Listed farmhouse is on a traditional Kentish working farm, situated amidst hop gardens, paddocks & orchards, with easy access to the many attractions the area has to offer.Whether you come for a short break to take life at a more leisurely pace, or a longer stay to explore the delights of the Kent countryside and shoreline, we have something for everyone.

We try to offer a country house experience, yet always being aware of the impact on our surroundings, which is why we joined the Green Tourism Scheme. We use an extensive range of home grown and local, seasonal produce for delicious and varied breakfasts. We always cater for vegetarians and other diets with advance notice.

Situated as it is between London and the Continent, Kent was historically a very important county. It has therefore many great castles, houses and gardens. Nearby are the mediaeval town of Faversham and historic city of Canterbury. Equally, the diverse countryside and shorelines provide a haven for many indigenous and migratory birds. The chalk hills of the Kent Downs are resplendent with wild flowers including orchids especially in spring and early summer.

You can take some wonderful walks locally and from Faversham; or take the train to ramble on selected walks through the Stour Valley. Being a hop growing county, you will always find a good inn to provide you with refreshment, probably from our own Shepherd Neame brewery in Faversham, the oldest independent brewer in the country.

The north downs provide excellent walking and cycling though the chalk hills with an abundance of wild flowers including orchids. Bikes can be hired from Canterbury. The Swale Estuary is one of the most important sites in the UK for indigenous and migratory birds and other marine life. We are able to take you to a site and leave you to walk back if you do not wish to do a circular walk.

We are fortunate to have on the farm a company which makes chunky wooden climbing frames and children are welcome to use their display frames set just outside the garden.
