Striking and modern, The Marquis of Granby is a former village pub that offers contemporary dining and chic rooms, all amid beautiful Kent countryside near Dover, Folkestone, Canterbury and Ashford. With views of the Alkham Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, The Marquis of Granby was transformed in 2008 to combine timeless rural England with boutique-style luxury. It is 'Highly Commended' by the AA. Space, light, art, fine furnishings and beautiful fabrics: 21st-century on the inside, but with a typically English view from the window. As well as the rolling green hills of Alkham Valley, 3 of the rooms offer a view of the village cricket field, one of the smallest in England. The restaurant mixes the global with the local, with fresh, seasonal menus providing modern cuisine amid chic surroundings and a well-stocked bar.

Guest Reviews:
- "Staff in the restaurant were great" - "Quirky and lovely rooms and bar area." - "Great pub hotel, comfortable room, excellent shower, good food, exceptionally efficient and friendly staff." - "The rooms are very nicely styled and extremely clean" - "Excellent location for what we needed and a very clever security set up for guests - made our stay simple and seamless but it came at a cost. Idyllic surroundings and cute set up on arrival with excellent staff - but it was a little disappointing in delivering what it promised. The pub and restaurant were really lovely - when we stopped for a night cap on Christmas Eve it was a real shame that the fire wasn’t roaring - it was close to last orders admittedly."
