Discover Wye

Historically a resting place for weary Pilgrims, Wye is a beautiful village set in the heart of the Kent countryside. You will not have to venture far from The Wife of Bath to find the old age charm of this beautiful village which has the river Stour running beside it. Wye holds a local famers market every other weekend in the village and there are also a few shops and pubs to discover along the high street.

Further Afield

The Wife of Bath is perfectly located for travellers wanting to stop en route to the continent. The Eurostar Terminal at Ashford International Station is just one stop away by train from Wye, or about a 10 minute drive by car and the Eurotunnel Le Shuttle Terminal is about a 15 minute drive by car, southbound on the M20.

Wye also makes a fantastic base for those looking to explore Kent and the South East of England, whether by road or rail. Wye station is less than a ten minute walk from The Wife of Bath, and both Ashford and Canterbury are just a short train ride away. Canterbury Cathedral would serve as a wonderful day out, and Ashford has a high speed rail link to London so you can be in our wonderful capital city within an hour.

Press & Awards

"... 'Inspired' by northern Spain, rather than claiming some spurious and slavish 'authenticity', dishes have both verve and confidence... Throw in a wine list that offers real value, plus the heaven-sent service I've already banged on about. And you have a restaurant to relish." The Mail On Sunday Rated 4/5 by Tom Parker-Bowles: "It's the Kent Restaurant where Chaucer meets chorizo. And... Verily, 'tis a Spanish Treat"

"Another addition to chef Mark Sargeant and Josh De Haan's portfolio of Kentish restaurants with rooms. With a superb Spanish restaurant and tiny tapas bar, its signature quirky style and authentic cuisine works surprisingly well in the bucolic setting..." The Telegraph Rated 9/10 in The Telegraph's Travel Destinations

"The Latest from chef Mark Sargeant, this converted Victorian house opened recently in the village of Wye. Dishes such as quail escabeche and monkfish with saffron and red-pepper rice, teamed with a glass of tinto, have the feel of northern Spain..." The Sunday Times Magazine Featured in The Sunday Times' "Best Restaurants With Rooms"
