"Relaxing, warm and friendly."
Our stay was very relaxing, due to the comfortable surroundings, amazing food and friendly staff. We were made to feel immediately welcome and spent the afternoon sitting in the big comfy chairs by the fire, in the car area. The Georgian room has the comfiest bed and a lovely big bath which is perfect to indulge in before going down to the restaurant for a high quality, reasonably priced meal. Stunning views and 16 acres to walk in make this a perfect location for a weekend getaway. Read less

The Beacon offers Four Star accommodation set in a 19th Century building complete with stained glass windows on the attractively wooded Tea Garden Lane. It features magnificent views over our 17 acres of land and the surrounding countryside, views which have barely altered since a Victorian guide book observed it to be 'as beautiful as any England affords'. Ideally located a 5 minute taxi ride from the station, we are within easy walking distance of the Pantiles in Tunbridge Wells. The delightful town of Grimbridge is 15 minutes drive, Penshurst Place 20 and Hever Castle ½ an hour. We are a perfect base for golf, cycling or fishing fans, with the nearest golf course 2 miles away and several more within 20-30 minutes. Fishing is possible in any one of the lakes on our grounds.

The Beacon is well known in Tunbridge for its excellent restaurant offering modern English/European cuisine, and is a member of Kentish Fair, with all food locally sourced where possible. Guests can relax on our outside decking area in the summer, or by log fires in the oak paneled bar in the winter. Alternatively, take a walk through our grounds complete with a large treehouse for the children, woodland walks, wildlife, lakes and one of the few genuine ‘chalybeate’ springs left in England. Free parking. Gilchrist & Soames toiletries, Egyptian cotton sheets in all rooms.
