Nestling amidst 75 acres of farmland in the pristine Kent country side is Elvey farm. Parts of the main building like the stable block have been present since the medieval periods giving it more than a touch of history; the renovation has, however, turned it into a contemporary and stylish lodging. It provides an idyllic setting whether you are shopping in the village square after brunch or sipping champagne on the verandah of your suite taking in the charming sight of the vast stretch of fields, orchards and hills.

The restaurant is unique as it specialises in old Kentish cuisine. Sautéed mushrooms in garlic and cream atop a warm Kentish hufkin for starters, hop-pickers pie, a Kentish twist on the traditional steak and mushroom pie, with onions, herbs and gravy made from shepherd Neame's Bishops finger for mains, and apple and cobnut pudding for dessert will give a fair taste of the kitchen.
