Hever Castle is proud to announce that its luxurious 5-star Bed and Breakfast has been awarded Gold at the prestigious Beautiful South Awards for 2024/25. Organised by Tourism South East, these awards celebrate excellence in tourism across the region.
The winners of the Bed & Breakfast and Guesthouse of the Year winners will be revealed at a black-tie event hosted by Toby Anstis at The Grand in Brighton on Tuesday, 10 December.
Hever Castle’s Bed and Breakfast triumphed in a competitive category, surpassing three notable finalists: Saddlers B&B in Chichester, which shared the Silver award, and The Old Rectory in Hastings Binsted Inn in Alton, which received Bronze.
Kate Rowbottom, Sales Manager at Hever Castle, shared her delight:
“We are absolutely thrilled to have won Gold at the Beautiful South Awards. This honour is a testament to the dedication, passion, and professionalism of our entire team. We couldn’t be prouder to see our hard work recognised in this way.”
The bed and breakfast is housed in the ‘Tudor Village’ – an Edwardian extension to the Castle which consists of the ‘Astor Wing’ and recently refurbished ‘Anne Boleyn Wing’ – with 27 bedrooms in total.
The extension was added to the Castle by William Waldorf Astor to accommodate staff and guests was previously only available for weddings and corporate events.
All bedrooms are en-suite and individually styled, with some offering four poster beds, roll top baths or walk in showers.
Guests to the luxury bed and breakfast have exclusive access to some of the 125 acre award winning gardens when they are closed to the general public.
The luxury B&B has also recently been awarded the prestigious VisitEngland ROSE Award for 2024. This esteemed accolade celebrates accommodation providers across England who go above and beyond in delivering exceptional customer service and creating unforgettable guest experiences.
