Between the magnificent cathedral city of Canterbury and the port town of Sandwich is the charming Kent village of Wingham. Wingham has long been a popular tourist destination due to its rural setting. The village's mix of thatched cottages, mediaeval hall houses, and attractive Georgian structures gives it an incredibly distinctive appearance that is guaranteed to draw visitors. Tourists will be spoiled for choice when searching for a quick lunch or a full evening supper along the tree-lined high street. The Dog Inn, which was previously a coaching inn and dates back to the 13th century, offers traditional dishes made using products that may be found nearby. Real ales and frequent live music performances, such as jazz afternoons, are available at The Anchor. Wingham Wildlife Park, which is open every day of the week, is less than half a mile from the settlement. It has ponds, aviaries, animal enclosures, a pet village, a picnic area, a play area with adventures, and even an animal hospital. The adjoining Goodnestone Park Gardens are another must-see destination. The 14-acre grounds, which Jane Austen frequently visited, are regarded as some of the best in the South East. Why not take a stroll and enjoy the woodland walk, which looks out over the village cricket pitch and has an arboretum, a gravel garden and a wonderful collection of old trees? Make your way to Howletts Wild Animal Park, which is less than four miles away, for a fantastic family outing where you can view more than 50 different types of animals. When the parents take a well-earned break, the kids can burn off some energy in the play area where you can stroll with lemurs or observe tigers and gorillas. Every time of year is ideal for a holiday in Wingham.

Katie
Very comfortable and beautifully decorated. We arrived to refreshments including wine and strawberries which were delicious. The owner was really accommodating and helped us to find the farm entrance in the dark when we arrived late at night. Would highly recommend.

Itâs in a gorgeous rural setting(very quiet). It is situated close to Canterbury and in a good position to reach other nearby places easily. Beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. Very well equipped. The secure garden was brilliant for our dog, itâs all on one level. Would recommend The Red Lion in Bridge for evening meals. Kate (the owner) lives nearby and was extremely helpful with any questions.
