OXTED

The Croft is situated close to the centre of Oxted with its main line railway station to London. It boasts a collection of pubs, restaurants, shops and many churches dating back to 12C. Amenities include a leisure centre with gym (membership not required), swimming pool, quaint cinema, theatre, park and cricket pitches.

For your evening meal we are fortunate to have a wide selection of pubs and restaurants within a short walk. In Old Oxted The Old Bell is a 15th Century Coaching Inn with an excellent range of cuisine. Dine by candle light in the nooks and crannies under old oak beams.

Almost next door stands the equally old George Inn with its comprehensive restaurant and bar snack menus. This is a favourite with our guests although we have yet to meet anyone who has conquered all 3 courses!

Opposite is The Crown Inn renown for its resident ghost and crackling log fires. Split onto 2 floors this is a favourite with young people who enjoy their varied menu.

Finally the last pub in this wonderful old High Street, which has cottages and an old lock up dating back to the 14th Century is The Wheatsheaf, a friendly local with a large TV screen for those major sporting attractions

Equally near in "New" Oxted (build around 1870!) are a selection of restaurants, 8 pavement café's and several takeaways. Amongst the Mock Tudor fronted shops you will find Cucina Italian restaurant and The Gurka Kitchen, a Nepalese restaurant of repute. Also there are a couple of excellent Indian restaurants and naturally a Fish and Chip restaurant / takeaway. Pizza Express cater for your Italian cuisine and there are kebab take aways also.

Adjacent to the railway station is The Oxted Inn a J D Wetherspoon establishment renown for its excellent value for money with its unbeatable bar and menu prices.
It is quite possible for 2 people to dine here with drinks and have change from £10! Breakfast is also served.

Visiting London

Each year guests from around the world stay at The Croft and their purpose is to visit London. They consider that by staying outside London it is better value, safer and balances the hustle and bustle of the city with the peace and tranquillity of the countryside.

Getting to London is both easy and inexpensive. Oxted station is a 10 minute walk or 3 minute drive from The Croft. The station is on the direct main line to London Victoria, the best placed London station for all the major tourist attractions, the train journey will take 35 minutes. Having reached London Victoria there are 35 top attractions that you can reach on foot within about 15 minutes.

We pride ourselves with ensuring our guests get the best value when going to London offering advice with the best ticket to buy and special offers available. For example a Family Travel Card offers 2 adults and 2 children return fares to London on brand new air- conditioned trains and unlimited travel on the buses and underground for £19.60, just £4.90 each!

Alternatively 4 adults can buy a Groupsave ticket where 4 can travel for the price of 2. The cost of travelling to and from London with buses and underground included is just £6.55 each....a real bargain!

And now there is a ticket for 3 adults at £8.65 each! Amazing!!Each year we also obtain the 2 for the price of 1 offers that apply when you travel to London by train. The savings are on major tourist attractions, restaurants and some theatres and often save £10 - £ 15, sometimes more than the cost of the rail ticket!

You can of course stay in London, but if you want a reasonable standard of accommodation it can be very expensive and often a little noisy until around 3.00am!

You can also visit London by car but you have to be a little crazy!
The Mayor of London likes to welcome you with a weekday congestion charge of £8 and if you fail to pay by midnight on the following day of entry it goes up to £120

If you are lucky enough to find somewhere to park expect to pay around £8 per hour.

Should you park in the wrong place don't worry we will tow your car away for safe keeping but we will give it back only when you have paid £65 clamping fee, £150 removal fee and £25 per day storage.

We like to take your photograph too, for driving in bus lanes £50, stopping in a boxed junction £50, or missing a red light £50

Should a break in the traffic occur speeding fines start around (you guessed it) £50

Believe us a Family Travel Card with unlimited travel on trains, buses and underground at £18 is a real bargain!

Traveller Reviews

"Fantastic. Ideal to visit London"

The Croft is perfect to visit London. Our Family Room was good. The breakfast was excellent. Lesley and Chris are nice people. In a five minute walk you are at the railway station in Oxted (a lovely place by the way). In 35 minutes you reach Victory Station in London.

"A peaceful haven"

Lovely hosts, Chis and Lesley, provide a very warm welcome and are very helpful and considerate. The room was spacious and very comfortable with beautiful garden views. This was complimented by a large and spotless bathroom. More like staying with friends.

"Wonderful enjoyable stay and very friendly and open-minded hosts."

We stayed in The Croft for 4 nights, in a very clean and tidy house in a very quiet site.
Chris and Lesley, very friendly couple, were always prepared to be helpful to us, gave us some useful advice for our daily trips to Leeds castle and London. A daily highlight for us was starting every morning with their professionally made and very tasty breakfast. Everything has been enjoyable for us and when we will be next time in England to visit London or the area around, we will certainly book the croft again.
Certainly a good recommendation to stay there !

"Home away from Home"

Our family of 4 including 2 children aged 6 and 9, just spent 6 nights at the Croft and had a lovely stay in their spacious family room. We enjoyed the beautiful and quiet setting of the Croft. Chris and Lesley were warm and welcoming to our whole family. They patiently answered my many emails before arriving and ensured that all our plans were taken care of for each of the days we were there. Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed our breakfasts.
Thanks Chris and Lesley for welcoming us into your home. We hope to make it back to England and would definitely book with you again.

"Highly Recommended"

The nature of my work means I spend a lot of time in B&Bs. I've stayed at The Croft for the last 3 months and everything about it is first rate, it's streets ahead of many of the others I've stayed in. I've never felt so at home so quickly as I have at The Croft, very welcoming, clean, tidy and quiet. I would recommend it both for business and holidays, Oxted itself is a nice little town and has a very frequent train service into London. I go walking in the evenings and there's plenty of good footpaths in every direction. I really couldn't imagine how it could be any better. If I worked in the area again I'd go straight back there. It's so much better than staying at one of the big chains of hotels and costs half as much. Highly recommended.

"Britain's best b&b!"

Chris and Lesley are the perfect hosts in a cosy and luxurious B&B in Oxted, a perfect spot for a cultural and educational travel in south/central London (where Hever castle and Darwins house are highlights, and Londons just half an hour away; which makes it a good alternative to the big citys poor accommodation). We have never experienced such a service-minded and pleasant host-couple. Just eating quality-food at breakfast served with happy faces in almost perfect surroundings (taken out of a "Homes and gardens article") is worth it all. We had a family room, and this was spacious and cosy. Nice bathroom and toilet. Cant think of any B&Bs better, we shall certainly return if we get the chance :-) Highly recommendable
