Boys Hall
It may be called Boys Hall, but this 17th-century manor house five minutes from Ashford International train station has reached peak maturity. There are sophisticated Kentish delights to be devoured in its timber-framed restaurant, nine gorgeous grown-up bedrooms, an oak-panelled pub, a wild country garden and, if you still weren’t convinced, a very fetching beard of green on its quintessentially English façade.
Boys Hall is a 17th-century manor house with a restaurant and rooms set in Ashford, Kent.
