TTI's FAVOURITE COUNTRY INNS IN KENT (GBR)
|
Just the other site of the English Channel begins the wonderful county of Kent, the “Garden of England”.
No county in Britain has such a variety of nature and culture as Kent. Meadows, lofty hills, meandering rivers, sleepy little villages and lively market town. But also a lot of world famous castles, manor houses, cathedrals and of course, gardens.
Because Kent is situated between the Channel Ports and the capital London, many people settled in this part of the country. This is one of the major reasons for the variety of sights and monuments.
Kent will certainly capture you when you decide to make a shortbreak or a longer visit to this part of Britain. Never a dull moment; that is our promiss.
The best and most authentic places to stay are the famous country inns. The best inns are those owned by Shepherd Neame, the oldest brewery in the country. Each and every inn is situated on a unique location. All rooms have en suite facilities; the beds are excellent. Of course there is the in-house locar pub, where you can meet the locals, when they come for their after work pint of beer. Have your pubmeal here or choose for the restaurant, probably the best in the region. The Shepherd Neame inns are situated throughout the county, so there must always be one available in the region of your choice. We will be happy to advise you!
Thames Travel International (TTI) has been working with these inns for many years and we had many enthousiastic reaction. But apart for quality rooms, cosy pub and excellent restaurant, what we like most about the inns is that they are modestly priced. The prices are very reasonable, and the TTI discount makes these inns extra attractive.
