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”
The sun was shining, the temperature was clement and we decided to treat ourselves to a Sunday lunch - and how glad we were that we made that decision. The Ferry House treated us to a wonderful game-led experience. Partridge and venison were delicious, the Sunday roast beef was sublime and the vegetable-based desserts were a revelation. Coupling this with a pleasant ambience and delightful service made for a lunch to remember. Although not cheap, the Ferry House is worth every penny
Outstanding dinner here for a celebration of a 16th birthday. The food atmosphere and service was outstanding. Thankyou so much to you all x
A fantastic stay. Room was immaculate, with a great view. Food was delicious (farm to table), the flavours of the meat were incredible.
Perfect cocktails and Susie makes an amazing french martini
