Lovely cosy bnb next to Sissinghurst garden. It really feels like staying in a country house, and the owners are super friendly and helpful, especially as we let them know beforehand that one of us has changed their name because they are transitioning, and they were fine about it. We stayed over the Easter weekend, and they had put up some decorations, and gave guests a chocolate egg on Easter Sunday, which was a nice touch. There is afternoon tea served in the cosy sitting room, where guests can just sit and read while listening to the birdsong and enjoying the calm of the gardens outside. There is an honesty bar too if you want an evening drink, though we didn't have anything as we went to the pub in the village. We had a room with a corner view of the tower. Bed was comfy. The bathroom was clean and with a nice bath. Everything nicely furnished with solid fittings and furnishings. Definitely somewhere to go for a quiet break. Breakfast was cooked to order, and all with local fresh ingredients well presented. Highly recommended. Everything was so calm and peaceful. The nearby village pub does upmarket dinners in the evening; it was about 20 minutes walk along the driveway and the road. My only wish for an ideal stay would have been to get early or reduced price access to the gardens for bnb guests, but it didn't matter that this isn't possible as the gardens are my favourite in the UK and I would visit them regardless. The spring bulbs and blossom were in full bloom and it was just magical. We would definitely stay here again.
