Set in the heart of rural Kent in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, at dusk you could meet deer, badgers or foxes along the road - a bird-watching paradise! Gizmo the giant Snow dog sculpture is a popular attraction and there is an electric vehicle charging point available on site - Tesla 8 kw Type 2 charger.
