Berengere & Philip, Chilston Park
It may have been February 15th, a day after St. Valentines day, but there was still a lot of love going around! Berengere and Philip were married at the beautiful Chilston Park Hotel in Kent. There was a French touch to the days proceedings, Berengere a beautiful French bride and many of the guests came over from France especially for the occasion.
The snow had just about disappeared, bitterly cold but the warmth and hospitality inside made for a fantastic day! Berengere sang a surprise song, "The look of love ...." to Philip, who ever said romance had died!
Set back from the tree-lined lanes of Kent, the manor house at Chilston Park is a unique Grade 1 listed property. Over the years, it has been a home to eminent politicians, writers, Lords and Viscounts. Today it is a luxury hotel, just as you would imagine, set within 22 acres of rural parkland in the heart of the Garden of England.
But perhaps the most remarkable aspect of this luxury 4 star hotel is the antiques and history that surround it. It has many interesting artefacts that date as far back as the 17th century manor house. Many of the 53 bedrooms feature original fireplaces, four-poster beds and antiquities.
Thanks to Berengere and Philip for making your day special for us!
