Built as an inn in 1451 and throughout Tudor and Stuart times, the building was known as 'The Smithies Arms'.

When you enter the Abbot's Fireside, you will encounter a warm and friendly welcome, be surrounded by antique furniture, open fireplaces and original leaded glass windows throughout the lounge, restaurant and bedrooms.

The lounge and restaurant feature huge medieval fireplaces which, like the hotel itself, are listed by the Historical Society.

Historic Interest

The Duke of Wellington used the hotel as his headquarters whilst preparing his battle with Napoleon at Waterloo. King Charles II and the Duke of Richmond hid in the main fireplace when being chased by the Roundheads.

Information for this venue is provided by the Ashford Folkestone & Romney Marsh Branch of CAMRA
