Fun things to do nearby
The Quaives estate covers 19 acres of prime Kent countryside so if you don’t feel inclined to venture very far, you’ll find plenty of space among the grounds to sit and read, stroll around our kitchen garden, do a bit of sunbathing (here’s hoping) or tuck into a freshly prepared picnic. Our tennis court will be available for idle knockabouts/highly competitive matches on a (literal) first come, first serve basis, and you’ll find a host of lawn games to play, too. Up at the Patio, we’ll be serving lunch and drinks throughout the afternoon and into the evening when we’ll also light up the fire pit.
Location & how to get here
Kent is one of the warmest parts of Britain and is located on the southeastern corner of England. Kent is sometimes known as the "Garden of England" for its abundance of orchards, gardens & country side vibe. Visiting the area makes you feel at peace.
