“Hever Castle was once the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, second wife of Henry VIII and Mother of Elizabeth I. Its paneled rooms house fine furniture, tapestries, antiques and what is regarded by some as ‘one of the best collections of Tudor portraits after the National Portrait Gallery’.”

“Set in a grand Tudor castle, inhabited by Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn during their honeymoon tour. The opulent, old-world rooms and suites (most with 4-poster/canopy beds) retain period features (including exposed stone walls, carved ceilings and arrow-slit windows), and offer private bathrooms and TVs. There's an acclaimed restaurant with dungeon dining, offering home-grown food and wine.”
