The 10 Best Pubs with Rooms in Kent
Kent - known as the garden of England - is, as this name suggests, a picturesque county. With a coastline that includes the famed cliffs of Dover and pretty rolling countryside filled with fruit orchards. The area also produces the highly-acclaimed Kent hops and, therefore, the region is also known for some of the country's finest ales and lagers. More recently, several vineyards have also sprung up and are causing a stir within the wine scene. So, it comes as no surprise that there are also some very good pubs. Our hotel experts have scanned the region to select the best pubs with rooms in Kent to make booking your next stay a quick and simple choice.
