Local Area
Surrounding Sevenoaks are many National Trust and Historic Houses - Knole House,
Chartwell (The home of Winston Churchill), Penshurst Place with Sissinghurst Castle,
Ightham Mote and Chiddingstone Castle all a short drive away. Many people think that
Hever Castle, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn is the most interesting, whilst Leeds
Castle describes itself as the most beautiful castle in the world. Gardening enthusiasts
enjoy visiting Emmetts and Pashley Manor which has a wonderful tulip festival, as
well as many other attractive features. Other historic properties have very attractive
gardens.
For guests wanting the best of both worlds, the train service to London is very fast
and frequent - four trains an hour taking just over half an hour, arriving at Charing
Cross, right in the heart of London. Special TravelCards enable visitors to combine
the cost of the fare to London with unlimited travel in London on buses, and the
underground railway system. The TravelCard provides a significant saving on individually
purchased tickets, and is available from 9:20 am with no return journey restrictions.

Sevenoaks has a wide variety of restaurants, cafés and ample parking is available
in the town centre. Our B&B enjoys the advantage of being within 6 or 7 minutes
walk of "The White Hart", a 16th Century Coaching Inn, that offers both a high quality
restaurant and bar snacks in attractive surroundings of great character.
Guests are invited to enjoy the comfort of a family home in a quiet spot adjoining
woodland, with caring hosts who are keen to make your Sevenoaks and England visit
as happy as possible. Please come - you'll be made very welcome - also by our cats.
