Anne Boleyn's childhood home, reimagined by William Waldorf Astor as a fairytale moated castle, stands in landscaped grounds with an Edwardian 'Tudor' village, home to this exceptional B&B.

The sixth addition to the Pig collection, this Grade I listed Jacobean mansion and former rock venue close to Canterbury has the trademark shabby-chic interiors, with bedrooms in the main house, coach house and converted barn, hop-pickers' huts in a water meadow, and a prolific kitchen garden to supply the locally sourced menus.

Just five minutes and a world away from Ashford International, Brad and Kristie Lomas's 17th-century manor house in an oasis garden is a fine country-house hotel and foodie destination.

On a remote corner of the Isle of Sheppey, this former inn on the Swale Estuary is a birdwatchers' paradise, with smart bedrooms and a waterside restaurant serving highly inventive dishes of locally farmed and foraged ingredients, with produce from the dynamic kitchen garden.

This good-value B&B in a Victorian farmhouse on the Sissinghurst estate makes the perfect base for a visit to the iconic English gardens laid out in the 1930s by Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson. The largest bedroom looks out to ancient woodland and to the castle's iconic Elizabethan tower.

Close to Canterbury, this family-friendly village gastropub has four stylish bedrooms, informal dining inside and out, and imaginative menus of locally sourced produce.
