This was another National Trust property we had wanted to visit for many years and at last we were able to do so.it did not disappoint, in fact it exceeded our expectations. In a sheltered valley location the half timbered and moated house has been subject to a £10 million restoration and it is in a perfect state for future generations. A great part of the house is open and pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable volunteers are available in most rooms to inform visitors and answer questions. A beautiful and historic house which is well worth visiting.

Visited Chartwell on the hoof when dropping my car in to a local car roof repairer. £15.50 per adult without gift aid. £4 all-day parking. You are given a slot to visit the house to keep crowds moving. However very few other visitors at this time of year when the kids are about to return to school to avoid the anticipated huge crowds the rest of the year so strongly recommend visiting end August or Sept. Beautiful property, very very cosy and intimate. You can see how Churchill would have cherished this retreat from the pressures of State. You can visit Clemmy's bedroom, the Library, Drawing and Dining rooms all very tastefully decorated, as well as Churchill's art studio and his works. Currently images and commentaries on his life in an exhibition. Cafe on site but how this would deal with massive numbers of visitors we have utterly no idea as service was unbearably slow even with virtually no one else in the queue.

A garden paradise. A hidden gem. Fabulous, folly-filled garden and home to one of the finest collections of Salvias in the country. Great Comp Garden, near Sevenoaks, has built up an enviable reputation over the years as being one of Kent's finest gardens to visit. Come and explore our wonderfully quirky garden showcasing 7 acres of beautiful and rare plants surrounding a 17th century manor house. This hidden gem of a garden is home to an Italian Garden, romantic ruins, enchanting woodland walks and the Old Dairy Tearooms. In Spring this tranquil garden erupts into bloom with numerous Magnolias, Azaleas and Rhododendrons, underplanted with large drifts of Helebores and bulbs while summer brings warmth and extravagance from one of the most comprehensive and exciting collections of Salvias in Europe.

The gardens are now run by the Curator William Dyson.

Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. It’s a pretty good garden and we’ve been to lots. Well managed and kept. Good variety of plants and trees. Herbaceous borders were great when we visited. Tea house good too.
