4 Star. Official rating, known for its luxury amenities and spa.

The White Lady, a graceful figure with long black hair and shadowed features, glides through corridors and appears at the top of the main staircase. Additional phenomena include radios turning on and off, footsteps in empty rooms, clunking noises throughout the house, and electrical sensations rising from the floor.

Hever Castle Bed and Breakfast Hotel

Hever Castle, Hever Road, Kent, TN8 7NG, England

5 Star. Luxury accommodation within a historic castle estate.

Hever Castle is famously haunted by the tragic ghost of Anne Boleyn, who returns to her beloved childhood home, often sighted around Christmas and on the anniversary of her death. Her brother George Boleyn's protective spirit was identified by medium Rob Gutro in 2013, watching over the family home. The Long Gallery hosts an angry male spirit known for violent outbursts, wall banging, and door slamming, as well as a phantom horse that gallops through the corridors. These documented hauntings create a complex spiritual ecosystem within the castle.

Leeds Castle Stable Courtyard Bed & Breakfast Hotel

Leeds Castle, Maidstone, Kent, ME17 1PL, England

4 Star. Quality B&B accommodation within a world-famous castle estate.

Leeds Castle is most notoriously haunted by the 'Black Dog', a phantom hound whose appearance, according to legend, serves as a death omen. Other reported spectral activity includes the ghost of Lady Baillie, the castle's 20th-century owner, seen strolling the grounds, and a mysterious Lady in White sometimes glimpsed near the castle’s Maiden’s Tower. While the B&B area itself is relatively calm, guests have occasionally felt presences or heard unexplained sounds at night, possibly linked to the castle’s wandering spirits.

Royal Victoria & Bull Hotel Hotel

1 High Street, Dartford, Kent, DA1 1DU, England

2 Star. Historic inn offering basic, functional accommodation.

The Royal Victoria & Bull Hotel is home to three distinct supernatural residents, each with well-documented histories spanning decades of witness accounts. Winifred, described as a 'petulant' eight-year-old girl who died of tuberculosis at the inn during the mid-1800s, is the hotel's most famous ghost. She's known for smashing glasses when displeased with changes to the hotel, hiding guests' belongings, and tugging at clothing. Her portrait hangs in what was once her room (now part of the restaurant) as a 'peace offering' installed in the 1980s. The Smoking Cavalier, whose presence is heralded by the distinctive aroma of expensive cigar or pipe tobacco, appears as either a 17th-century Cavalier or Georgian gentleman - possibly the spirit of Richard Trevithick, who died at the inn in 1833. Sightings increased during 1960s modernisation work. The Phantom Black Dog provides a benevolent presence, described as 'helpfully warming the feet of guests' and brushing against their legs in corridors, representing the friendly coaching inn dogs of earlier eras.

The Chequers Inn (Smarden) Hotel

The Street, Smarden, Ashford, Kent, TN27 8QA, England

4 Star. Award-winning coaching inn offering quality accommodation and dining.

The Chequers Inn is legendary for its 'haunted room,' reputedly occupied by the ghost of a Napoleonic-era soldier murdered on the premises. His sorrowful apparition is often reported by guests. Another prominent phantom is a man in green velvet, speculated by some to be the infamous highwayman Dick Turpin, seen enjoying an eternal pint by the fire or writing at a desk. The inn also harbours the spirit of a French prisoner of war from the Napoleonic era, whose presence manifests through poltergeist activity, particularly the moving of small objects and the disturbance of pets. These three spectral figures contribute to the inn's chilling and fascinating reputation as one of Kent's most haunted establishments.

The Shurland Hotel Hotel

79-81 High Street, Eastchurch, Isle of Sheppey, Kent, ME12 4EH

3 Star. Village hotel with a local reputation.

The Shurland Hotel is known for an unseen prankster entity, nicknamed Fred by staff, that enjoys tampering with lights, door locks, and electronics, particularly in Room 1 and Room 2 of the older wing. There are also rare reports of a monk apparition, possibly linked to nearby ruined priory history, and sightings of a young girl spirit seen standing at the foot of beds. The hotel has a general eerie atmosphere in certain parts, suggesting residual energies from past patrons or events. Famous CCTV footage from 2011 captured a glass moving across a table on its own.

The Woolpack Hotel Hotel

The Street, Chilham, Canterbury, Kent, CT4 8DL, England

3 Star. Traditional inn offering comfortable accommodation.

The Woolpack Inn is famously home to a resident 'Grey Lady' ghost, a gentle and benign spirit often seen wandering the inn's rooms and corridors. Guests and staff have reported her faint, greyish figure, and she is sometimes associated with minor poltergeist-like activity, such as moving small items, which is perceived as curious rather than malevolent. Her presence is considered a part of the inn's historic charm. The surrounding area is also associated with the Barrow Dog, a spectral black hound witnessed in January 1947 bounding towards an ancient burial barrow opposite the inn on Pilgrim's Way before mysteriously vanishing.
