About this property
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.
