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”
By far the best place on the Isle of Sheppey. The grounds are beautiful. There are beautiful walks around marsh land nature reserves and along the coast. The Ferry House itself is very nice, the rooms are very cute with upcycled bespoke furniture but modern bathrooms. The staff are lovely and the food is incredible. There is a full vegan menu, which was delicious. My husband and I stayed for the weekend, and my full family met us for Sunday lunch. Will be going back, would recommend.
The views around the cottages are amazing, the food at the restaurant was incredible and the cottage we stayed in was brilliant. 100% would recommend and we will be coming again. Even though we did not bring our dog there is a huge area for dogs to run and enjoy themselves. Everyone around us was very friendly and helpful.
What an amazing place, beautiful scenery, wonderful food and some of the nicest most welcoming service I've ever had, we will definitely be back again.
