    Beautiful house with amazing original 15th century features. Well equipped for the modern day but still retains all of its previous character. Plenty of space even for larger groups. Bedrooms are all large with comfortable beds.

Welcome to Taylour House. My previous working life has been a vibrant tapestry woven with experiences that embody luxury, hospitality and an unwavering pursuit of excellence. I spent years owning and operating super yachts in the Mediterranean, which has given me a unique perspective on service, maintaining pristine interiors to creating atmospheres that feel both opulent and intimate. Transitioning from yachts I have ventured into the world of short term rentals. I understand that success in Taylour House hinges on attention to detail, cleanliness, comfort, and creating a space where guests feel genuinely welcomed. Whether it's a weekend getaway or a special celebration, Taylour House strives to provide an environment where guests feel relaxed and pampered.
Hever Castle, Chartwell, Penshurst Place, Lingfield Race Course and Squerryes (perfect for wine tasting) are all within a short distance. We are ideally located for keen golfers, with the following golf courses on the doorstep, Limpsfield, Hever, Lingfield, Sweetwoods, Holtye to name a few. There are also some wonderful walks from the doorstep and gastropubs within easy distance. For the gardeners the Royal Botanic Gardens at Wakehurst Place is a must.(20 mins drive) or Sissinghurst Gardens (60 mins drive) Central London 50 mins by train and Gatwick is 15 miles drive.
