Bore Place is a sustainable venue situated on a 500-acre organically managed estate. At the heart of the estate is a Jacobean manor but there are a variety of buildings which are suitable for all sorts of groups and training. The gardens and situation are what make this hotel special as is it's commitment to sustainability and the flexibility that is offered to the guests.
Location
Situated in a remote, rural location in the heart of the Weald of Kent in beautiful countryside yet only a short drive from Sevenoaks and the M25.
Rooms
We have several buildings that can be used for a variety of uses including a large barn that can accommodate 100+, Bore Place House which can sleep up to 30 and has large downstairs spaces, other training rooms with capacity of 50-100, the Old Stable which can sleep up to 20 and other cottages that can provide additional overnight accommodation.
Price
Overnight costs start at approx £50 per person per night. We also offer full catering options and day delegate rates as well.
Sustainability
Energy
In the past ten years, we have reduced our carbon emissions by 55%. We now generate 45% of our energy needs through our wind turbine, photovoltaic panels and managing our woods to provide woodchip for our heating and our hot water for our farm and buildings.
Water
We manage and process our own waste water and sewage biologically so it can be reintroduced straight back into our streams.
Waste
We choose carefully what we buy to avoid and reduce waste, and we reuse, compost and recycle waste wherever possible.
Food
We farm organically and are committed to eating organically and seasonally, not just because it is beneficial for our wellbeing but because of the wider impact on the environment. 90% of the food we serve at Bore Place is organic.
Transport
We provide electric car charging and encourage car sharing, cycling and minibus assisted public transport access to Bore Place.
Biodiversity
We actively manage our woodlands, ponds, field edges and hedgerows to promote wildlife, and to support our protected species, particularly great crested newts and bats. Our organic gardens and wildflower meadows are bee friendly and attract a range of wildlife. Our walking trails across the farm and our gardens enable people to visit and experience our biodiversity.
Accessibility
Fully accessible parking, toilets and showers as well as as step free access into our buildings. Please get in touch for more details.

Jenny and The Venue Booker have provided exemplary service to us over the years.
Saida Basheer, University of Leeds
The Venue Booker provided us with a fantastic selection of venues to view for the two events we enquired about – each of these met our brief, several offered something really special and most of them came with discounted rates that we would not have been able to achieve on our own. The service is free of charge and Jenny is friendly and helpful. We will definitely use them again.
Rachel Bailey, Clement
Thank you so much Jenny, you are fantastic and I am grateful for your help.
Mirela Sula, Global Woman
Easy to work with and cost-effective. In 2014 The Venue Booker was asked to identify a suitable, new venue for Chambers’ prestigious Medical Law Lecture. Jenny not only met the brief by finding the right venue but she also secured it on favourable terms.
Richard Rodger, Hailsham Chambers
I'd be pleased to recommend Jenny, The Venue Booker. I knew our request was going to be a tall order but she rose to the challenge, negotiated some cracking rates and retained her patience and professionalism despite some spectacular dithering at our end!
