"Good food, a welcoming atmosphere, and comfy beds at this charming country inn"
Overview
Located in the quiet village of Ickham, this village pub is a mix of traditional – exposed beams and roaring wood fires – and modern with up-to-date and stylish touches. Each of the four bedrooms has stylish decor, modern fabrics and contemporary furnishings that offer guests high quality and comfort – king-sized beds, TVs, DAB radios, tea- and coffee-making facilities and complimentary toiletries come as standard. The same daily menu is served in the restaurant ‘The Den’, the conservatory overlooking the garden and the bar with its warming fire in the winter. From the Duke William, it is just a short drive into Canterbury.
