Corporate Hospitality IN KENT

Sitting aside the Swale estuary, the 16th century Ferry House is a beautiful & accessible corporate hospitality venue in Kent. Just 60 minutes from London, leave the noise & distractions of the office behind with a relaxed alternative to the standard ‘chain hotel’ corporate experience.

We host businesses large & small in our practical & adaptable events spaces, from hire of our meetings room providing a space for smaller businesses to bring their team together, to overnight retreats for an extended company getaway sleeping 70+ delegates. With quality catering from our 2AA Rosette restaurant, accommodation, ‘down time’ enrichment experiences & dedicated Event Planners, an organised & memorable event ticks every box.

We stayed for a work retreat, and we were accommodated 100% of all we required for the three days to go as smoothly as possible. The property and location is stunning, you couldn't ask for more. The staff are lovely, very helpful and polite. Thank you everyone at The Ferry House for making our stay amazing!

I just wanted to thank you and your team for hosting our management retreat last weekend. The feedback I got from the team was glowing. They loved the food and accommodation and said your team made them feel incredibly welcome. So, I just wanted to thank you for making the weekend such a success. I really appreciate the time and care you took to make it special, and I am sure we will be back soon!

I wanted to say a big thank you to you and the team for looking after us last week. Special thanks to Tarryn who worked hard to keep us all happy. In the feedback survey I conducted 100% of the delegates responded to say the venue was of a very good standard and they were happy with it. I really hope to work with you all again.
