The Railway Hotel, SWALE, Kent

The Railway Hotel in Faversham has been offering a warm welcome to townsfolk and tourists for over 150 years - providing first-class fare and cosy accommodation in the historic Kentish market town.

Situated at the top of Faversham High Street, it’s the ideal base from which to explore the area, and a superb spot to sample excellent food and drink. Indeed, with the beer travelling just 500 yards from the town’s Shepherd Neame brewery, it’d be hard to find a fresher pint anywhere.

Drinks can be enjoyed in the traditional Victorian bar, full of original, authentic features and boasting hanging hops for the full Kentish pub experience. Fabulous food, meanwhile, is served in The Carriage - one of the best restaurants in Faversham for dishes inspired by local produce.
