Historic Inn!

The inn boasts 34 ensuite rooms, offering a variety of options, including double, twin, family, and single accommodations.

At the heart of the inn is the beautifully designed restaurant and pub, featuring Kentish hops and exposed beams that create a warm and historic atmosphere. The seasonal menu, crafted with care, highlights high-quality ingredients sourced from trusted local suppliers.
