“A historic inn set in a pretty Kent village. Having undergone a complete renovation rooms feel fresh and contemporary but the original features such as fireplaces remain. Very good pub fare, locally produced wines, and an attractive price tag all make for an appealing rural stay.”

The Tickled Trout

The Tickled Trout, part of the Hush Heath portfolio, has the feel of a posh village pub, serving oysters on ice and wine flights in a convivial setting. With six smart bedrooms, it's comfortable, welcoming and good value.
