"Take one country manor fallen on hard times (with a raucous history, courtesy of Led Zeppelin), apply a modern rural-luxe makeover, a 25-mile menu, a fabulous bar and some treatment rooms and – voila! – you've hit the hospitality jackpot.The Pig at Bridge Place is a triumph, rain or shine. This newest addition in the hotel group’s small and very well turned out collection excels where it matters most – the people. From the restaurant to the reception and everywhere between, the attentive staff are smiley, friendly and relaxed. There's plenty to see and do. Potter through the walled garden, feast on mouth-watering pizza, sample superb Kentish wines on the terrace or relax with a spa treatment. Being new and boutique - just 29 rooms - you might find it hard to get a booking, but do keep trying. We adored the pimped-up wood cabin vibe of the Hop Pickers' Huts and the spacious, elegant Coach House rooms. If you like a bit of history opt for the rooms inside the main house. Bridge Place is easily reached by train from central London (60mins), and just three miles south of historic Canterbury, so you have no excuses not to make it here. Yet make it you must, as soon as possible. We've already booked our next stay. Highs Superlative staff. Guy, Jamie and the rest of the team at Bridge Place demonstrate all that is best in friendly, relaxed serviceThe Insta-worthy restaurant with its open kitchen knocking out delicious but unpretentious food and tasty drinks Beautifully renovated rooms with lots of luxe additions: Bramley toiletries, KitchenAid coffee machines, fluffy robesThe walled garden. Immaculately presented with its wood-fired pizza Garden Oven for a casual lunch or light supperFor total privacy, The Barn is a dream – a gorgeous hideaway in the old stable block with a freestanding roll-top bath and views of the Kentish meadows Lows Parking is limited on busy weekendsTreatments are fantastic but pricey, and with only two treatment rooms in the Potting Shed, we advise you book well aheadSome rooms have low ceilings; guests with mobility issues should avoid the rooms with stairs to a mezzanine level" - Kate Parsons
"Three miles outside Canterbury, Bridge Place is an impressive Jacobean mansion with a colourful history – in recent decades, it was known for hosting rock and roll parties and gigs, including Led Zeppelin. This is a quirky, character-filled establishment, from the seven Hop Picker’s Huts that sit on stilts alongside the river, providing tranquil, waterfront accommodation, to the Potting Sheds, which double as spa treatment rooms. The kitchen has a strict sourcing policy – everything comes either from the kitchen garden, or within a 25-mile radius – and the lunch and dinner menus change each day, according to what’s available. A sexy, sophisticated bolthole, with food to die for. " - Annabelle Thorpe
