Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Visited the winery with a group of friends and was really impressed with the experience. Our tour guide was Charlie and he was really engaging and informative, taking the time to answer our extra questions, helped us to take group photographs and just made it a really enjoyable experience. Some of the rest of the group got a little loud and raucous during the wine tasting part of the experience and we all thought that he handled it very well, and still managed to deliver his wine info, and re engage the group. Learnt so much from the tour and really enjoyed all the wines. Also learnt that Chapel Down make Gin too, and received a complimentary taste of their gin as well. Would thoroughly recommend this tour, a really great experience!

    We came to smallhythe place as we were in the area and have national trust membership.
    We were so glad we found this place. The house is beautiful,
    We learned a lot about Ellen Terry from visiting the house.
    This is a must visit.

    High Street, Tenterden is a charming area in a charming town. My very favorite shop was Raffman & Huckster at 38 High St. self-described as “Conscious Miscellany.” I would describe it as a carefully curated collection of every type of wooden implement in all price ranges.

    We contented ourselves on the first visit with a small wooden honey dipper. We had to go back for the most beautiful feather duster despite our overfilled luggage. The charming director wrapped it perfectly. It fit!

    Tenterden and District Museum is a brilliant museum. The exhibits are well set out and there is plenty of information about them, including interactive displays. There is a nominal charge (£3 when I was there) but, when you see what is inside, it is well worth this fee. There is also a car park right outside.

    this is a wonderful trail through the High Weald AONB. Although close to London it feels undiscoverd and undistrubed. Classic English countryside at its best with woods, vistas, villages and pubs.

    Beautiful hidden park. It beautiful and quiet to just sit and look at the plants and have sometime out from the hustle of the high street. Lots of people come and sit here. Beautiful little hidden gem

    The Barn Theatre is an intimate little theatre at Smallhythe. If you are in the area, it is certainly well worth your while seeing if a production is scheduled and, if so, getting tickets for the production. Drinks and snacks are available beforehand in the 'Theatre Tea Rooms' and interval drinks can be pre-ordered so you don't have to queue. We went to see a production of Great Expectations which was excellent. It was even more noteworthy because, just before the end, there was a thunderstorm right overhead which caused a power cut. Ten out of ten to the actors, who, seemingly without batting an eyelid, continued the production with only emergency lighting.

    A lovely community church. Fantastic display of yellow Primroses in Spring and beautiful when lit up during winter. Well worth the small donation for upkeep. Access via Ashford Road TN30 6PU
