‘...Simply put, this place is the epitome of quiet elegance and English atmosphere... it was exactly what we were searching for. We were and are completely captivated! Our en suite room was spacious and filled with many special touches to make it feel homelike, not to mention the wonderfully comfortable beds! For us, Church Gates was the quintessential experience of "Old England". It was like stepping back in time while still having all the 21st century comforts!.  Our stay there was the absolute highlight of our holiday in the UK.


 

Set in the beautiful Kent and Sussex High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Church Gates is a charming historic Bed and Breakfast in the heart of bustling Cranbrook - Kent’s smallest and many say prettiest town - dating back to medieval and Elizabethan times.

Your hosts, Joe and David, will spoil you with their renowned hospitality, local knowledge and wonderful breakfasts served besides the inglenook fireplace.

Bedrooms have a bohemian air with carefully chosen boutique and antique furnishings - and stunning views out to the floodlit church tower and medieval Stone Street.

There is so much to do and see! Sissinghurst Castle Garden, Great Dixter Garden , Leeds Castle, Bodiam and Scotney Castles, Cranbrook Windmill and many other gardens, castles, villages, historic houses and attractions are near by.

Sissinghurst Castle Garden, Kent, England

This renowned garden was created by novelist Vita Sackville-West and her husband Harold Nicolson. He was the designer, she the plantsman and, since her taste was poetical and his classical, the result is a formal garden with exuberant, abundant planting. It consists of a series of small enclosed compartments, intimate in scale and romantic in atmosphere with outstanding design and colour through the season. The library and tower, including Vita’s writing room, are also open to visitors.
