Book a TableA beautiful barn weddings and events venue, overlooking the Swale estuary.
Barn Wedding VenueEleven individually-styled, bed & breakfast rooms in our hideaway corner of Kent.
Overnight StaysWe call Harty ‘home’. Not only is it where you’ll find The Ferry House, but the Burden family has farmed the land for years, cultivating the crops, cattle and landscape. Hidden-away on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent, yet just 60 minutes from London, you’ll find us set between two wetland bird reserves, the estuary and rolling countryside. So whether you’re seeking out restaurants in Kent that are truly unique, a back-to-nature country escape or a beautiful barn wedding venue, you’ve come to the right place.
“The winner is Kent to its core, local everything from cider to the cows grazing in the surrounding land, served with top end personal service by staff whose knowledge of the local area was as if they were born and raised there. “Quite simply the best all round experience shouting Kent”
We ate Sunday Lunch at The Ferry House. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Lovely atmosphere. Sunday roast was like a home cooked. Delicious. We were a party of 4 . We all enjoyed the food
Our son and his new wife got married in this beautiful venue last Saturday.
Amazing. A truly wonderful experience that we will never forget. The venue is stunning, the food is incredible, the service and staff are outstanding and the organisation of the day was seamless. We stayed overnight, with an equally delicious breakfast the next morning. The majority of the food is home made and home grown, using home bred cattle for meat, and locally sourced ingredients. Worthy of Michelin stars. The rooms were stunning - so big and tastefully decorated. We had an accessible room and it was perfect for my wheelchair and needs.
My small quibble was that the mattress was so hard, I was in pain most of the night. I know some people like a hard mattress, but this one would test the best of bodies!
Apart from that, I could not fault any moment or part of our son and daughter in law's wedding day. This place is special. Very special in deed.
First visit and definitely not the last. Food was amazing, cooked to perfections and great service. Atmosphere was really nice and friendly welcoming staff. Would love to stay here and visit the area.
