Built in the Georgian period, The Grove Ferry Inn is located 8 miles outside Canterbury. The property features a pub on the ground floor which offers riverboat trips. Free Wi-Fi and parking is available. Some of the rooms at the Inn have a view of the Great River Stour and some have a riverside balcony. Other rooms at this property include a view of the Stodmarsh Nature Reserve, a protected wetland in the UK. Each room has a flat screen TV and a kettle. A full English breakfast is served each morning at the Grove Ferry, which has a restaurant menu based on locally sourced and foraged ingredients. Homemade pies, burgers and soups are joined by local specialities including Kentish cheeses and Gypsy Tart for dessert. A country pub with a pretty riverside setting, the Grove Ferry is a local landmark ideally situated for visitors exploring east Kent. The coastal resorts of Ramsgate, Broadstairs and Margate, and the pretty town of Sandwich, are all within 20 minutes’ drive, as is the historic cathedral city of Canterbury.
