Set on 3 acres of terraced lawns, this traditional 16th-century pub with rooms overlooks the Swale Estuary and is 1.9 miles from Swale National Nature Reserve.

The rustic, pine-furnished rooms come with TVs, DVD players, free WiFi, and tea and coffeemaking facilities. There's also a 4-poster room and 1 with a whirlpool bath. Suites add extra living areas, while the bridal suite has a sleigh bed, a double-ended bath and a minifridge. Most rooms have views over the estuary.

Full English breakfast is included, while an upscale menu featuring locally sourced produce is served in the cosy, oak-beamed bar and restaurant.
