The Bowl Inn  

In the Kent countryside just outside Ashford, this 4-star inn sits close to Hothfield Heathlands, Belmont House & Gardens and the shopper draw of Ashford Designer Outlet. Leeds Castle is about a short drive away and St Peter & St Paul Church and Beech Court Gardens are within easy reach — ideal for a pet-friendly countryside stop.

An intimate, romantic inn with a boutique feel and a handful of guestrooms. Rooms come with flat-screen TVs, tea/coffee makers, showers and hairdryers, plus terrace and garden views in spots. The property is accessible (elevator) and offers private check‑in/out.

On-site restaurant and bar/lounge, complimentary breakfast, free Wi‑Fi and free self parking. Relax in the garden or on the terrace and wake up to country air — pet-friendly and quietly set for a low-key escape.

Conference facilities are available for meetings, and complimentary Wi‑Fi helps you stay connected. Note the front desk operates with limited hours.

The inn serves local cuisine in its restaurant and pours drinks in the bar/lounge, with a breakfast served each morning. For more options, Charing’s eateries — including the nearby Spices of Bengal — are a short walk away.
