The Five Bells In

The Five Bells In

Who says England, says pub and pint. You can find this combination at Five Bells. A wonderful old-fashioned British pub where many local can be found on a Friday evening, but actually we would like to say on every day of the week.

Nestle in the lovely garden or dive into a corner. You order at the bar. Apart from a lot of comfort food (burgers, pizza, you name it) you also get British classics. Fish & chips, stew of foot. You're in the right place here.

Crabtree Farm Cottages

Crabtree Farm Cottages

Hello nicest cottage of Kent. A half-hour drive from the Folkstone Eurotunnel you will find Crabtree Farm via green, secluded roads.

At Crabtree you will find two lovely houses fully equipped. In addition, for the adventurer there is a detached tent further in the fields that is also fully equipped (wood stove! beds!). So bliss.

In cottage you can indulge yourself. There is a free-standing bath (on legs), you can enjoy yourself in the fully equipped kitchen and there is sleeping space for 4 people with the option of a baby bed. The perfect place if you don't want a hotel but want all the comfort of an equipped house.

Perry Court Farm

Perry Court Farm

An absolute must, especially at weekends, is to visit Perry Court Farm. You will come across the signs along the road, which can only bode well.

At Perry Court Farm you drive past the apple orchards onto the grounds. At the entrance there is a small café where you can have a cup of coffee before purchasing all the local items. Here you can do shopping 2.0 because everything is fresh and of really good quality.

 

Gilda Bakery

Gilda Bakery

There's nothing nicer than starting a holiday with delicious coffee in a nice place and something tasty. This comes together at Gilda Bakery. This way you first stand in line at Gilda. A fantastic place where the tastiest bread is baked. In addition, there are also the tastiest croissants and cruffins (mix of muffin and croissant) available, all with the most surprising variants. Like a coconut croissant or r cruffin with jam.

You go to the neighbors for a cup of coffee, a cappuccino or any other variety of coffee. In bad weather you can sit inside, but the square in front is actually 1000x more pleasant.

 

Updown Farmhouse

Updown Farmhouse

Updown is a farmhouse as we like to see it. It is wonderful to relax, experience peace and recover. The Updown team wants it to feel like home away from home and it most certainly does. There is even a drawing table where you can look straight into nature and therefore take the time to be creative.

The menu in the restaurant changes monthly, making it perfect for any season. In the summer, light cooking is done with fish and vegetables. In the cold winter months, more meat is used. Of course there is always a vegetarian alternative.

Even if you are not staying at the hotel, you can make a reservation for dinner. Just email or book online.
