“A charming lovingly-renovated hotel set in a Jacobean manor in Ashford. Plush four-poster beds, free-standing tubs, and exposed beams create a truly romantic feel. There's a timber-framed restaurant, a cosy oak-panelled pub, and lush gardens. The perfect spot for a quintessentially English stay.”

A Kent restaurant with rooms with beautiful design

Surprises can sometimes be unwelcome for an unsuspecting hotel guest but Boys Hall, a wisteria-clad, grade II listed manor on the outskirts of Ashford, is unexpected in the best possible way. Brad and Kristie Lomas, the owners, have taken a dilapidated 17th-century Wealden hall house in an unlovely part of town and from it created a sumptuous nine-room hotel, with three acres of garden and a cathedral-like glass-and-green-oak restaurant where the swimming pool once stood.
