THE GROVE FERRY INN, UPSTREET

The Grove Ferry Inn is in the midst of the Stodmarsh Reserve, an important conservation area on the banks of the Great River Stour. Centrally located next to a picnic site and a reserve nature trail the pub provides an excellent base for walkers, fishers and cyclists. Pop in for coffee before heading out for the day, lunch on your return and dinner if you get lost! For those less active just relax on the river banks watching the river as it comes to life.

Just 9 miles from the centre of Canterbury, its a perfect location to relax, unwind and brush of the noise of the outside World. If your exploring Kent, Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate are all just a short drive away.

Originally a coaching house dating back to 1831 the Inn took its name from a hand-drawn ferry which took people across the River Stour. With 6 spacious en-suite bedrooms and an excellent locally sourced menu, cooked fresh each day, the welcome you receive is second to none. An amazing garden for the summer months and roaring log fires in winter, what better way to escape home for a few hours.

With a full wedding licence and reception facilities, as well as conference and meeting rooms The Grove Ferry can accommodate any requirement. See the website for more details.
