Sitting on the edge of Sissinghurst Castle’s gardens, this is the perfect spot for garden lovers.
Priest’s House is a stunning detached brick property, believed to be part of the Elizabethan mansion that made up Sissinghurst Castle. Completely renovated, but with reams of original features, the property boasts mullion and leaded windows, inglenook fireplace, wooden beams and brick flooring. Sitting on the edge of the White Garden, it’s a must-stay for garden lovers or those just after a bit of peace and tranquillity.
Rise early and explore Sissinghurst Castle. Discover its diverse history; from the astonishing time as a prison in the 1700s, to being a home to the women’s land army. You’ll also have 450 acres of the wider estate to explore too.
Further afield, visit Chiddingstone a surviving Tudor village and discover the legend of the chiding stone. Enjoy a bite to eat before taking a stroll through the surrounding countryside.
