The Holt Bed and Breakfast

The Holt bed and breakfast provides comfortable, quality, B&B accommodation in a rural setting with ensuite accommodation. Our B&B is set in 2.5 acres of secluded woodland and gardens offering one double room and one twin bedroom both with a private ensuite shower, toilet and washbasin, and free wi-fi. All accommodation is non-smoking. We have car parking in our own grounds, immediately adjacent to the house, for visitors. Set away from the small local road our bed and breakfast is virtually undisturbed - the only regular sounds being the distant ringing of the church bells, birds and wildlife, and the occasional distant puffing of steam trains running in the Tenterden vale. The Holt makes a great base for a relaxing stay and is just a short drive away for Sissinghurst, Great Dixter, Scotney Castle, Smallhythe Place, Bodiam Castle and the glorious Kent and Sussex coutryside with lovely walks on the doorstep. The local picturesque village of Benenden, Kent is a short walk - with 2 local pubs, a lovely village shop with cafe and post-office. We are a short walk (or very short drive) from Benenden Girls School. Kate and Tim will be pleased to help make your stay in the 'Garden of England' as easy and enjoyable as possible. Having always lived in Kent they are very happy to help you plan your visit and maybe discover some of the less well known hidden gems in the area. The 2 B&B rooms overlook the private garden either across the fields towards the 15th century church at the head of Benenden Village Green or towards our bluebell filled woods. Each has its own private en-suite facilities, with shower, WC and wash basin. The rooms have colour television with DVD player and connections for memory sticks for viewing digital media. There is free wi-fi around the house. For the cooler months the whole house is centrally heated. One room has a 'king size' double bed and the other two single beds (with an optional extra 'roll-out' bed) - all rooms are non-smoking. The house is decorated with fresh flowers and greenery from the garden - do tell us in advance if you are a hay fever sufferer! We offer a delicious breakfast, served in our pretty dining room with a view of the garden. You can choose from freshly prepared fruit; pastries - typically croissant, pain au chocolat, and pain au raisin; a selection of cereals; natural yogurt; toast from home-made bread; and conserves that normally include our own honey, marmalade, blackcurrant and strawberry jams. By request, we will be pleased to prepare fresh eggs - boiled, poached or scrambled. This is accompanied by your choice of a cafetière of freshly brewed coffee, a selection of teas, or hot chocolate; local apple juice, chilled orange juice and fresh milk. On fine days there will be a chance to take tea and home made cake on arrival in the garden or, in less clement weather, in the dining room.
