Day 3

We enjoy a morning visit to Chartwell, Sir Winston Churchill's much-loved family home. Packed with treasures, artwork and personal effects, the National Trust has painstakingly preserved the rooms, remaining as they were when he lived here, evoking the career of the great statesman. This afternoon, we return to our hotel. Why not enjoy using the hotel's leisure facilities or heading to Chatham or Rochester? Follow in the footsteps of Charles Dickens to nearby Rochester, home to shopping and a Norman Castle or neighbouring Chatham, whose Historic Dockyard has been seen in TV's Call the Midwife. Both are easy to access using local transport options from the hotel.
