About Biddenden
Biddenden is a picturesque English Village, set in the beautiful countryside of the “Weald of Kent” in the Southeast of England. Biddenden takes its name from the Kentish dialect of Old English, meaning “Bidda’s woodland pasture”. The village High Street is lined with some extremely attractive half-timbered medieval and Jacobean buildings, aligned on either side of a cobbled pavement. Many of these are old weaver’s cottages, as weaving was the core economic activity of this area of the Weald for many years.
Rooms:
Many of the rooms at Whitfield House are for sharing so we’re encouraging guests to come in pairs or groups, or be open to sharing and forming new friendships.
Prices from £595.00 per person* (sharing basis)
