The Plough Inn

The Plough Inn sits in Stalisfield village on the Kent Downs, giving the stay a countryside setting within driving distance of Ashford.

The Plough Inn is a modern British inn with accommodation in its pub gardens, so the tone is closer to a country inn stay than a conventional town hotel. The building is a timber-framed Wealden hall house, and the accommodation is connected to a working pub with a restaurant and bar rather than a standalone hotel block.

A Standard Suite includes ground-floor bedroom access and a kingsize bed option, with an ensuite bathroom that has both a separate double-ended bath and a walk-in shower. The room details also include free Wi-Fi, a desk, a flat-screen smart TV, a laptop safe, a mini fridge, tea and coffee facilities, a hairdryer, and toiletries.

The stay works well for guests who want meals handled on site, because The Plough Inn has a restaurant and bar in the building. Breakfast is available with continental, full English or Irish, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, and breakfast can be delivered to the room in a hamper.

Parking is available at the property, which matters because this is a village setting rather than a central Ashford street stay. Access is by road from the M2 and M20, and the inn places Ashford at about a 20-minute drive, with Faversham, Canterbury, Maidstone, and Sittingbourne also within roughly 30 minutes by car.

It also suits guests looking for a pub-with-rooms arrangement, where the main advantages are the Kent countryside location, on-site food and drink, parking, and a room with a proper bath as well as a walk-in shower.
