Our Rooms
Characterful rooms with en-suite showers, free WiFi, complimentary on-site parking, and a freshly prepared breakfast every morning — all in one of Kent's most beautiful villages
Classic Double Room
Views over the Chilham rooftops and the rolling Kent countryside beyond. This characterful double sits right in the heart of one of England's most beautiful medieval villages — step outside and you're moments from the ancient village square, Chilham Castle gardens, and miles of North Downs Way walking trails. Canterbury is just a short drive away, and local orchards, vineyards, and country pubs are all on your doorstep. En-suite shower, free parking, and a freshly prepared breakfast every morning.
Twin Room
A bright, welcoming room with two comfortable single beds — ideal for friends, siblings, or anyone who prefers their own space. You're right in the centre of Chilham, one of the best-preserved medieval villages in Kent, just a stroll from the village square's tea rooms, independent shops, and the famous Chilham Castle. Head out along the Great Stour river valley or explore nearby Canterbury Cathedral, Wye Nature Reserve, and award-winning Kentish vineyards. En-suite shower, free parking, and a hearty home-cooked breakfast to set you up each morning.
Double Room
A comfortable double room with bags of character, right in the heart of historic Chilham. From here you can wander through the picture-perfect village square, discover the 17th-century Jacobean castle and its stunning gardens, or set off along the Pilgrim's Way for breathtaking views of the North Downs. The area is brilliant for walkers, cyclists, and foodies — with local farm shops, orchards, and some of Kent's finest pubs all nearby. En-suite shower room, free parking, and a full English breakfast included.
Family Room
A double and single bed make this room ideal for families exploring the best of Kent together. Chilham village has castle gardens to explore, riverside walks along the Great Stour, and the steam trains of the Kent & East Sussex Railway close by. Canterbury's world-famous cathedral is just minutes away, and the Kent coast at Whitstable — famous for its oysters and harbour — is an easy day trip. Dogs are welcome in all our rooms, so bring the whole family — four-legged friends included. En-suite shower, free parking, TV, tea-making facilities, and a generous cooked breakfast each morning.
Double Room (Room 5)
A comfortable double room with views over Chilham — one of the most photographed villages in Kent. The period fireplace surround adds a touch of Victorian character, and twin sash windows flood the room with natural light. With the North Downs in every direction and Canterbury, Whitstable, and the ancient woodland of King's Wood all within easy reach, this room puts you at the centre of everything the Garden of England has to offer. En-suite shower room, free on-site parking, and a full cooked breakfast included every morning.
