The Wife of Bath is one of the best-known of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, and Wye, the location of this restaurant with rooms by the same name, featured in the stories as a place of rest for weary pilgrims en route to Canterbury. The theme continues inside the property – each room is named after a character from the great poet's works. In the hands of Mark Sargeant since 2016, it's the third addition to his group – Rocksalt and The Duke William came first.
There are six stylish bedrooms, four above the restaurant, two in the cottage annexe (these can be booked out together if you're a foursome or a family). A welcome pack, complimentary toiletries, ironing facilities and flat screen TV can be found in each, and guests have access to a communal honesty pantry. Exposed timber beams blend with contemporary furniture, colourful works of art and muted tones on the walls. The result? A soothing atmosphere, a relaxing haven. We particularly like Sir Thopas: sup on the glass of sherry left out as a check-in treat and admire the capacious, high-ceilinged space.
It's restaurant is certainly one to boast about, offering a modern dining experience with incredible food. Enjoy their set lunch, dinner or tasting menus, each as exquisite as the other. They also have a fantastic cocktail bar, serving all kinds of cocktails from classics to bar specials!
There's much to do in the local area – check out nearby Nature Reserve, jump on the train to Canterbury, a city filled with history, or explore the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on foot – the Wye Downs circular walk takes about three hours and offers some spectacular views. If you can drag yourself away from the comfort of The Wife of Bath that is.
