Tudor House

Sleeps up to 7

Tudor House is a luxurious four bedroom property forming part of the Astor Wing, William Waldorf Astor’s magnificent addition to Hever Castle in 1903. The double moated Castle provides a stunning backdrop to Tudor House and creates a truly historical setting.

The house has been superbly restored and refurbished to the highest standard retaining all of Astor’s handcrafted wood panelling.

Whilst staying at this superb location, guests have the opportunity to visit the historic Castle, once the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII’s ill-fated second wife and mother of Queen Elizabeth I.

Guests also have the unique opportunity of gaining access to much of the award winning gardens, lake and parkland during times when the grounds are closed to the public offering them the chance to appreciate the breathtaking views and scenery in complete privacy.

Destination introduction

Kent is often referred to as 'The Garden of England' and is justifiably one of the prettiest of the home counties around London, in the South East corner of England.

The interior of the county boasts The Kentish Downs, a range of wooded chalkland hills ideal for walking or horse riding. Kent is famous for its hop farming, and the distinctive hop farm towers can still be seen dotted around the countryside. The ancient Cathedral City of Canterbury, as featured in Chaucer's 'The Canterbury Tales' - is well worth a visit.

Kent's long and varied coastline provides a wealth of beaches, from secluded shingle bays to large expanses of golden sands, including the iconic White Cliffs of Dover.
