  • Hever Castle was the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, second wife of Henry VIII. The castle went through a number of owners since the Boleyn family after passing to the Crown on the death of Anne's father, Thomas Boleyn . In 1903 it was acquired by William Waldorf Astor, an American millionaire, who restored it in Tudor style using, as far as possible, the same tools as Tudor craftsmen. The extensive castle grounds are beautiful in summer, and include a rose garden which is lovely in full bloom. Definitely worth a visit for history-lovers and nature-lovers alike. Highlights include Anne Boleyn's bedroom and the collection of portraits of Henry VIII and his six wives.

Lovely cosy hotel with loads of history and great location. Room was clean, if a bit cramped and bed comfortable. A mirror other than the one in the bathroom would have been Lovely friendly staff. We would definitely stay again.

Our second stay though to be honest we felt it lacked atmosphere this time round (possibly down to it being v quiet midweek) Staff were friendly & v helpful though the hotel could benefit from a manned reception area or at least clearer instructions on arrival. Again no one visible on departure ?

Gorgeous rooms and delicious food

A great stay right from the start the manager and staff were helpful and friendly. I was particularly touched when the chef made an off menu option for my autistic son as he was unable to manage any of the listed items. The rooms were beautifully set out and the bed was so comfortable. I usually struggle to sleep away from home but not here. I also loved the toiletries were Bramley (my fave) it added a touch of luxury to an already luxurious stay. The food in the restaurant was top notch and I can’t speak highly enough of the staff and manager who all went out of their way to ensure a warm welcome and comfortable stay.

Cosy Penshurst hotel.

A fantastic 2 night stay in Penshurst. Hotel is really cosy and tastefully decorated. Open fires in bar area. We ate in the restaurant both breakfast and dinner and both were excellent. Great base for touring the local area which had a lot to offer.

A lovely countryside stay. The pub is beautiful, a great mix of an old pub with modern design. Everything feels lovely and clean. Huge beds! I would say though, we stayed on a Sunday and the road out the front on the Monday morning was quite noisy (rush hour, bin men and gas refill right outside the window of our room). I doubt the rooms were full with it being a Sunday, so it would have been good if they put us out the back. If you can, request a room at the back of the building!

Great Place to Stay

Fantastic place to stay, breath of fresh air. Superb room with high quality decor and fittings and really nice little touches like cookies in the room with fresh milk in the fridge. Great food in the restaurant served by pleasant staff, nothing seemed to be too much trouble. Would love to have tried the breakfast but unfortunately needed to leave early, one thing I think would make this gem better is to offer an early breakfast option as this would have been a big bonus for me, however, this is a lovely place to stay and I will definitely be returning.

2 Night break

Just a quick 2 night break for our anniversary. Staff were lovely but food was a let down for both evenings. Room petty basic with no A/C so hot & stuffy. Asked for a fan but not available. Web site pictures are great for sales but let down in reality.
