What’s in the area

Tenterden is also renowned for the Kent and East Sussex Railway, a heritage steam railway that adds a nostalgic touch and offers a great day out to Bodiam with kids. Head to the Woolpack pub for a lovely lunch after or for chic dining try Water Lane, The Walled Garden restaurant. It’s a lovely, well-hidden find offering bistro with a twist. 

Tenterden is a great place for wine enthusiasts, head to Chapel Down for the finest sparkling wine and most famous British winery. Nearby, Biddenden Vineyard holds cellar-door tastings and you can walk the estate to take in the fantastic views. Towards Staplehurst, just a further 10 minutes drive away, Balfour winery at Hush Heath will draw you into its American-style tasting rooms, all glass and steel, with sophisticated English cheese platters to accompany the English whites, sparkling and reds.

Holiday Cottages in Tenterden

For something slightly smaller but fit for the whole family see The Oast in Newenden. It was once an original Kent oast house built for drying hops and making beer but it’s now been lovingly restored and converted into a comfortable holiday home.
