One of the county’s most upmarket bed and breakfasts has won a prestigious tourism accolade.

Hever Castle B&B - which allows guests to stay overnight on the historic estate - has been awarded the VisitEngland Recogntion of Service Excellence (ROSE) Award.

The castle, in Edenbridge, was the former home of Anne Boleyn - the second wife of Henry VIII and who was ultimately beheaded.

The gong is presented to providers “where staff work together to provide outstanding experiences for their guests”.

Now in their eighth year, winners of the award were selected based on VisitEngland quality scheme assessors’ recommendations and online feedback from both domestic and international visitors.
