Facilities

Further details outdoors:
With its formal gardens, secret paths and al fresco dining terrace, Capel Farm is perfect for entertaining. Relax up on the hill with a good book, or indulge in a glass of Pimm's in the gazebo.

-Style: Original period features marry with contemporary chic design. The expansive sunlit rooms with views of the formal gardens and pasture provide a fresh and airy atmosphere, while the impressive inglenook fireplaces and prodigious 5-oven Aga lend the House its air of traditional comfort. And with its sweeping Chalon kitchen and dining table (capable of seating up to 20), Capel House is perfect for large-scale entertainment.

-Bedrooms and bathrooms: Gaze down at the rose garden from the crisp sheets of the Old Master Bedroom's king-size antique four-poster bed, or lie back in the adjoining en-suite's traditional freestanding bath enjoying the night sky and a glass of sparkling wine at the end of a long day.

Just opposite the family bathroom, with its soothing whirlpool bath, is the Library Bedroom, with a full king-size and lovely views over the terraced garden. With its French-style king-size bed, regal en suite and Eastern aspect, The White Room is a real highlight upstairs, allowing for a gentle, sun-kissed start to the day. Along from the White Room are two similarly attractive twin rooms, boasting original beams, an ornamental fireplace and even a priest hole. Additionally, on the top floor there is a single as well as a further en-suit single – a real 'room with a view' overlooking the whole Capel estate.

-For relaxation: Balmy afternoons are best spent in the gazebo with a good book and a glass of something cold. And as the evening draws in, the cinema room's 50-inch high definition television with full surround sound makes for a great movie watching experience. Enjoy a game of fußball on the vintage 1950s Bonzini table, or escape the hubbub of the main house and curl up by the fire for a quick catnap.

-Practicalities: 2 dishwashers, electric 5-oven Aga, full utility room facilities.

The South East England / Kent region

Kent is known the 'Garden of England' for the quality of its homegrown produce. Voted one of travel guide Frommers' Top 12 places to visit in the world in 2011, thanks to our miles of unspoiled coastline and off the beaten track destinations, Kent makes for the perfect rural retreat.

Explore the historic cathedral city of Canterbury, with its theaters, art galleries and great restaurants. Whitstable offers a great day out for families. Under 30 minutes drive from Petham by car, Whitstable boasts beautiful beaches, vintage shopping and the famous Wheelers Oyster Bar, where you can feast on local seafood, fresh off the boats. Chartwell, Winston Churchill's home, and Leeds Castle are also within easy reach, as is Margate, with its impressive Turner Contemporary art gallery. Golfing enthusiasts will love Kent's award winning courses at Sandwich and North Foreland.

The local station, Chartham, is on the High Speed Rail Link to London. With a direct link to Stratford International, we are perfectly positioned to visit the London 2012 Olympics. Kent also has great transport links to mainland Europe, making it a perfect starting point for a visit to England or abroad.

The Canterbury / Petham area

The area has much to offer with thriving local villages and historic pubs. Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there are some wonderful footpaths to explore, while for riding enthusiasts there are 3 nearby equestrian centres and lots of unspoiled bridleways.

Further afield is the historic city of Canterbury, with its quirky vintage shops, art galleries and diverse mix of restaurants and cafes. At the end of a busy day, enjoy ethereal evensong echoing through the ancient cathedral, performed every weekday at 5.30pm, see www.canterbury-cathedral.org/events/services for details. Or go for a punt along the River Stour, past the city's mediaeval walls and gatehouses - find out more at www.canterburypunting.co.uk.
