| The House of Agnes takes its name from the Charles Dickens'' story, David Copperfield. In the book, the building was the home of Agnes Wickfield and several passages describe aspects of both the exterior and interior of the historic building.
The heritage garden and buildings are rich in history; as well as Roman artefacts, an extremely rare scientific instrument, known as an “astrolabic quadrant” and dating from 1388 was unearthed during recent renovations. It was described as "one of the greatest ever scientific discoveries of its kind in the world" and is currently on show at the British Museum.
On the banks of the River Stour, in the heart of Stodmarsh Nature Reserve, this beautifully converted Georgian mansion offers stylish rooms, great food and drink, and free Wi-Fi and parking.
With its own character and style, the Grove Ferry is independently run. Originally a coaching house, the inn dates back to 1831 and took its name from a hand-drawn ferry that took people across the river.
The bar has a real log fire and offers drinks from around the world, as well as great local ales from the brewery in Faversham. Food is freshly prepared to order and made using the best seasonal produce available locally. A full English breakfast is served each day.
There are large gardens and a terrace and patio with lovely views of the river.
With superb views of the surrounding countryside, the en suite rooms are comfortable, light and spacious with oak flooring. Each individually decorated room has a desk, TV and tea/coffee.
