Westerham. Lovely English village, about 15 mins from Biggin Hill. Proper pubs with warm beer. :ok:

Try Croydon Park Hotel.
5 min walk from hotel to train station and then 20 min with train to Central London if you have to kill some time.

Great English Beer around these parts, none of your gassy continental p**s (he he).
Now watch it! Very slippery ground your on! German beer is simply the best.
Everyone knows THAT! :ok:
I have also been at the Selsdon Park Hotel, I think Biggin Hill Ops offers a special rate (don't know about the other FBO).
Even it looks outdated from the outside, the rooms are splendid, also nice restaurant.

There is a Best Western in Bromley, 15-20 mins away. Nothing special but Bromley is a nice place and the breakfast is not bad.

The Kings Hotel in Westerham, is closed for refurbishments, I think it is due to open late April/early May again. This would be my choice once its open, purely for its location, 10m mins from Biggin Hill, and lots of choice for food and drink!

Personally given the choice of the Kings or The Old Farmhouse I'd take The Old Farmhouse.
It's less conventional and more remote but it's a good place and The Fox and Hounds nearby always did good food and drink IMHO.
In Croydon, we sat and watched nothing short a street battle unfold whilst eating our dinner in the bar, and were propositioned during check in by old biddies in a coach party on one of those insufferable theatre trips like the ones my ex insisted on going on :ugh: Never again.

You can go to the Rowhill Grange Hotel, it's about 20min drive, cheap, free wifi and by far the best restaurant.
There is also a perfect swimming pool and an amazing spa.

It was the Jury's Inn.
There is another hotel opposite, the name of which I don't recall which had something to do with the riot that broke out.

This made me chuckle 125:ok:, sums up croydon as a stop-over perfectly. I usually go for the Marriot Bexleyheath or Lingfield park, both about 35-40mins drive and usually peaceful (assuming thats what you are after) with reasonable food and beer available!
