The Ferry House - Inn in Kent
Harty Ferry Road, Harty, ME12 4BQ, Kent
England,
Reino Unido
There's a remote feel to this tranquil spot but the inn itself is a definite foodie destination. They grow most of the produce used in the restaurant in their one-acre garden which you're welcome to wander around. Breakfast is served in the bar/restaurant and includes a full Kentish spread with home-smoked bacon, homemade sausages, Eggs Royale with home-smoked fish, or a lighter Grazing Bowl with oats, seeds, quinoa and garden fruits.
It's worth staying in for lunch and dinner too - lamb ribs with chimichurri, popcorn partridge breast from the owner's shoot, beef from the Elmley Nature Reserve, foraged ingredients from hedgerows and shorelines, and veggie and vegan options if ordered ahead. Views soar from the dining terrace over the river, marsh harriers whirl overhead. You sleep in smaller rooms up a steep staircase in the main building, or in the newly-built block - all are very comfortable.
Go for long walks, visit the spa, sip something delicious from the Copper Rivet Distillery or Curious Brewery.

- The landscape around The Ferry House is renowned for its bird life, including harriers, owls, wild fowl, water & migratory birds. The RSPB describes Harty's Capel Fleet as "perhaps the best bird of prey viewpoint in the UK.”
- Within a short drive of The Ferry House are the Blue Flag beaches Leysdown, Minster & Shellness. There’s also Warden’s Point - less picturesque (bring your wellies!) but more intriguing with its prehistoric fossil hunting & WWI Military Battery buildings.
