It takes a rare spirit to jump into the unknown, but for Hetan and Silvie, a move to Kington and the transformation of Castle Hill House into a unique boutique B&B has been the latest in a series of adventures that began when they met while backpacking in Australia. “We met somewhere in the outback,” says Silvia, who had travelled to Australia from Berlin, while Hetan was from Kent. But at the end of their travels in Australia, Silvie admits that I still had the travel bug. And I didn’t really want to go back to Germany so I moved in with Hetan back in the UK.
