The Abbot's Fireside Hotel is a 15th century hotel, situated in the historic village of Elham. It is the perfect place to stay when making a trip across the Channel: Eurotunnel (10 minutes), Port of Dover (20 minutes).

Our lounge and restaurant both feature huge medieval fireplaces, which are, like the hotel itself, listed by the English Heritage Society.
