About About the place

Sissinghurst Castle Garden is a renowned National Trust property in Kent, England, celebrated for its exquisite and uniquely designed gardens created by Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicholson. The gardens are structured as a series of intimate 'rooms,' each with a distinct character, color scheme, and planting style. While the castle itself is largely a ruin, a tower offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The estate also includes woodland walks, a productive vegetable garden, and a charming oast house. The site provides a tranquil escape for garden enthusiasts and those seeking a picturesque day out, though it can become crowded during peak season.

This landmark is an architectural wonder which is absolutely stunning and is a must visit place. This is a tourist spot so it is mostly crowded but once you are in it, you are hooked by its beauty and wonderfulness. Don’t miss this at any cost.

It is the most beautiful building I witnessed which is architecturally detailed. The building structure was royal and the building exhibits a regal vibe to it. Visiting this place was an amazing experience and the place is truly a stunning place.

I was so excited when I booked this place but I was so disappointed when I went there because it was not what I imagined or what was there in the pictures. The place was so mismanaged that staff didn't know anything and were simply clueless. It was not great at all.. We were so excited to visit this place but were thoroughly disappointed while reaching and looking at the mismanaged affair. The place was crowded with tourists and there was no system to arrange them. The staff was also very rude.

We stayed in for one night here and the hotel was too expensive and not at all worth it. The place was a little crappy in shape and a lot of maintenance was going on and all the rooms were not even furnished properly. But we had no other option and had to stay therefore had to sacrifice and paid extra to stay a night.

Our journey to this place was nothing less than a magnificent memory. This is the most beautiful place I have visited and stayed. I have never experienced luxury like that and the hospitality was top notch. I am still so grateful for all the people who hosted us and took us on an incredible journey.

This was a traditional B&B and was very warm and comfortable. The hosts were very welcoming and nice people. It is very conveniently located and is easy to find. The food from their kitchen was very homely and delicious and they made sure that we had a hearty breakfast. Overall a great experience and we are booking this place again.. Visiting this beautiful and majestic city was always in my bucket list and now that i am here, I am in love with this place, the vibrant colors, the enriching culture and the magnificent historic buildings. Everything about this place is just WOW. I am so glad to be here. I love it.

Me and my wife stayed there over a weekend and were greeted by the kindest people ever. The city has an alluring charm to it and the locations are so raw and beautiful. All the historic landmarks are just well preserved and are enriched with stories and history. The people of this city are the warmest people i have ever known and overall this place is a magical experience.

It was one the greatest experiences we had. We loved the place and more than the place the people were simply amazing. The hospitality and the warmth provided to us was beyond expectation and we are forever grateful.. This is one of the most iconic and interesting buildings of the city where the architecture of this place speaks volume of its importance. It is a great place to visit and its tour throws some light on the history and working of this place.

The cafe is a little place situated in the middle of the buzzing market of the city and is a cute little place with a really warm ambience and very nice and friendly people and staff. The food was great and had a lot of amazing local flavors. It was totally worth the visit and we really enjoyed the food and hospitality.

We stayed in this place and it was great. The building is stunning and the architecture was superb. All the detailing was magnificent and the interiors were very decorative and gorgeous. It was a great stay experience and will surely visit again.. There are places in the world which are so beautiful and magical that going there once does not suffice your travel karma. This is definitely one of those. I loved it here and the place had my heart.

I have been visiting the city for some time now and it has always been a great experience. We always stay in the Fortune hotel and the people here are the most kind and welcoming people I have ever seen and the hospitality here is superb. I was so fortunate to visit here and spend some quality time here.
