Sissinghurst Castle Farmhouse, hotel in Smarden

Featuring a garden and views of garden, Sissinghurst Castle Farmhouse is a bed and breakfast situated in a historic building in Sissinghurst, 23 km from Leeds Castle.

The farmhouse is a stunning house with beautiful views of the castle and gardens. It could not be more conveniently located if you have come to see the castle and gardens and go hiking through the beautiful countryside. The hosts were very kind and friendly and the breakfast was also nice with a wide selection (although we were surprised that our neighbouring table was offered alternative milk options and sour dough bread) which we did not know were available to my lactose intolerant son. I suppose we were supposed to ask for it? Nevertheless, that aside, the complimentary afternoon cream tea with cake accompaniment was also delightful and very delish! The rooms were very pleasant although as we were on the very top floor, just as something to note, we did not have the pleasure of the high ceilings as in the rest of the house and you do have to go up a flight of stairs if you are disabled. However we did have lovely views and bright rooms. Also the bathroom sink is a bit tiny so you need to throw down the bath mat if you don't want to get the whole floor wet. All in all it was a very nice stay . The best part is the beautiful building and location.

    The room was tiny but fine for one night.

    The room was tiny but fine for one night. The dinner was ok but not great, the breakfast was excellent. The young lady who worked the bar, served the food and ran the reception was helpful and did her best. The only other member of staff we met was rude and seemed upset that we didn’t want piles of bird pop in our room. The place generally looked like it needed some extra hands to clean up.

    A small village with not much in the way of shops.

    A small village with not much in the way of shops. It has a butchers, a sort of art gallery but only open on certain days as is the Vintage clothes shop, both were closed when we were there on a Tuesday. No corner shop so to speak to buy anything you may have forgotten or ice creams for children, so maybe not the place you would go with kids although there is a play area for them but I would think more for the locals than visitors. There is a beautiful church to see steeped in history from around the 1300's. Smarden is a place you would visit or stay in if you were going somewhere in close proximity such as the cat sanctuary. I would highly recommend The Chequers Inn to stay or just to have a meal as the food is exceptional.

    We loved the food. Plenty of it and we'll cooked. The Wi-Fi availability was limited to the main building and did not extend to the bedroom in the rear. The proprietor advised they were trying to fix this.

    The room was lovely. We stayed in the Guinevere room (luxury double room with brass bathtub) which is spacious and has a comfortable bed and large walk in shower. The food is wonderful - all the evening meals we had were delicious. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice. Great location for visiting National Trust properties (lots in the area), as well as Leeds Castle. The village of Smarden is also pretty and worth walking round.

    This is such a lovely place. We have stayed here 4-5 times now since discovering it about 7 years ago. It’s our little safe place to escape to whenever need a little break. The staff are welcoming and friendly. The rooms are full of character and charm. The food is first class. Lovely beer garden. Plenty of parking. Very peaceful place in Smarden which is a lovely village. Close to other parts of Kent which are worth a visit too.

    Room was perfect for our needs. Clean and really nicely furnished. Meals were very good and good value. Breakfasts were delicious with a good choice of cereals, fruit and hot food Impressed with the lovely proprietor, she made us feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Well done to the staff who worked hard to ensure we were served promptly. We would recommend this family run hotel.

    lovely old Inn with a stunning garden at the back. Olde Worlde en-suite room with lots of charming character. We enjoyed a Sunday roast and breakfast was exactly what we wanted. we had plenty of tea and coffee with fresh fruit, cereals and of course a full English breakfast. Smarden is quiet and very pretty - we enjoyed our stay very much. Parking is at the rear.
