Yet the bustling spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells is less than 5 miles away. The area is closely tied with the Neville family who arrived in England with William the Conqueror and settled at Eridge Park. One of their guests, Dudley Lord North, discovered the iron rich Chalybeate Spring and Tunbridge Wells was born. You too can meet the ’Dipper’, taste the waters and promenade along The Pantiles. Alternatively hone your culinary skills at the Rosemary Shrager Cookery School. Explore the plethora of footpaths on the doorstep, visit vineyards at Lamberhurst, stunning gardens such as Penshurst Place, Groombridge Place and Scotney Castle Gardens, which can all be reached within 15 minutes.

We spent 4 nights at the Oast House. It was set in a beautiful, peaceful garden, with lovely surrounding scenery. The garden was adjoining the owners property, but had private areas. The owners were very pleasant and welcoming, leaving us a fantastic welcome basket. The house was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed to enable us to cook, and relax without fuss. We were around 15 mins from Royal Tunbridge Wells, which has some lovely shops and eateries, and the surrounding areas are beautiful. We will return, and fully recommend.

We found Crawford Lodge very comfortable and the welcome pack extremely generous. Unfortunately we could only manage a short break but look forward to making a longer stay in the future

Even better than I could have imagined!! Beautiful location in the countryside, but still local to towns and tourist spots. The house was furnished excellently, with everything you might need and Diane was so helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend a stay here.
