Reviews

Relaxing stay
We spent a night here in a room overlooking the Swale and had a lovely time. The food was very good and Samantha and Susie looked after us at dinner really well. They laid a table near the fire for us and even brought an extra heater. It feels very remote and peaceful there.

BEST NYE EVER!!!
We visited for NYE2024
We arrived at about 2.pm to book in. We settled into the loverly room welcomed by helpful staff. We went to bar for a drink, then returned to our room. When we came down for our NYE party.. What a difference, the party was in full swing. A buffet style meal was provided of pulled pork and veg, all ok. The dj upped the sounds and dancing and drinking carried on until 1.30 am, only interrupted by fireworks at midnight, and more singing!!
BEST NYE EVER!!!
Will book again

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

The Bedford , Jan, 25

We had a wonderful dinner, bed and breakfast stay at the Ferry House to celebrate our 40th birthdays. We live locally and we’ve wanted to come here for ages; it totally lived up to and exceeded our expectations. The location is very special. We walked part of the England Coast Path once we’d checked in and enjoyed a drink outside. The path passes ecological habitat. You can’t hear traffic, which is unusual for north Kent, just the sounds of the Swale and different types of birds. Our room had a view of the kitchen garden where we saw chefs collecting produce before dinner. My beef rib wagyu dinner was up there with the best I’ve ever had. After checking-out we walked to Leysdown via the Isle of Harty Trail and Shellness, which we’ve done before but this time we’d had a restful night’s sleep on a huge bed, revitalising shower (bathroom envy!) and a delicious breakfast, especially the corned beef hash. We took our dog and he loved the dog mattress so much we’re looking to buy the same one! To sum up, if you’re in to proper food and a bit of walking to experience a unique place then this is the jewel of north Kent.
