Stramacchio Italiano In Biddenden
 

A traditional Kentish oast house just 5 minutes from Sissinghurst Castle, Stramacchio Italiano offers characterful accommodation and rustic Italian dining. You can savour expertly prepared Italian breakfasts and enjoy garden views from its romantic suites, which have free on-site parking and WiFi. Luxurious suites feature vaulted ceilings with exposed wooden beams and elegant furnishings. Bathrooms have a bath or shower, with a hairdryer, slippers and toiletries provided. Breakfast can be enjoyed in the dining room, on the courtyard or in bed, with a cooked Italian breakfast including bruschetta, prosciutto, eggs and speck. Alternatively, try croissants, cookies and bundt cake with a cappuccino, or a traditional full English. Gourmet picnics can also be provided by Mariantonietta, who teaches the secrets of Italian cooking at Stramacchio Italiano’s weekend cookery experiences, along with Cordon Bleu chef Flaminia. Private dining can also be arranged, either outside or in the romantic candle-filled barn. Stramacchio Italiano is found in the Kent village of Biddenden, within a 10-minute drive of Staplehurst and Cranbrook, and just 7 miles from the pretty town of Tenterden. The royal spa town of Tunbridge Wells is around 30 minutes’ drive west, and the Eurostar terminal at Ashford International is just over 14 miles east of the village.
