Elvey Farm is a traditional open hall house, built in 1406, and it's certainly had a colourful history. French prisoners were kept here during the Napoleonic wars, and it's believed the house was used to hide Lord Dering before his capture by the roundheads during the Civil War. In the Second World War, a Spitfire crashed into the paddock at the back of the farm, during the Battle of Britain.

In January 2007, current owners Jeff Moody and Simon Peek bought the farm, along with six acres - and have renovated the guest accommodation, to create the standard of a stylish boutique hotel, with the informality of a small guest house.

The farm currently has nine rooms; five in the Stable Block, two in the sixteenth century barn, and two in the Oast House - plus a unique and popular Kentish restaurant.
