{Local Area}
Up the Downs B&B is in close proximity to a number of attractions in Kent and can be used as a quiet and comfortable base for visiting these attractions.
We are 10 minutes walk from Otford railway station with regular trains running to London.
When it comes to dinner time we can recommend some local pubs to eat dinner, otherwise there are the well known chain restaurants such as Pizza Express, Strada, Zizzi and Cote in Sevenoaks town.
