In the summer, enjoy a relaxing evening dining alfresco in the courtyard garden and share a bottle of wine straight from the wine chiller, a lovely way to end the day! Outside is a perfectly manicured lawn where, between the hours of dawn and dusk, guests can challenge each other to a fun game of croquet, or for more informal games there is a fully enclosed grassed area for everyones use.

Debbie was a fantastic host, and especially for sorting out the WiFi for me on the Sunday as I needed it for work. If I need to visit Kent in the future I will definitely book The Willows again.
