With Sissinghurst Castle and the Garden Coast just a short drive away this is a perfect base to explore the delights of Kent & East Sussex. Built in 1750 this Georgian house is fronted with the mathematical tiles that are unique to this area . The striking tower was added in 1904 for its French owner as an antidote to her pangs of homesickness for her native France. This french influence has inspired Pippa's creative style and can be found throughout the beautiful Georgian rooms. Recent renovations to the house uncovered a time capsule hidden in the wall which gives a fascinating insight into the previous custodians. Our guest rooms are tastefully furnished crisp white linens crunchy quilt covers antique bedsteads and quality matresses with seriously refreshing showers complimented by piles of fluffy white towels.
