Couple stay

Stayed here with my partner and we cant wait to rebook soon. Even though there was 2 wedding at the hotel an almost fully booked the staff were amazing and the hotel was truly lovely. It was a perfect mini break for us from work to get some quality time, relax in the spa and enjoy the grounds.

Judith, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall good stay. Hotel was busy with mix of guests including wedding, leisure, spa and families. Bar staff friendly and helpful. Parking adequate. Room comfortable. Pool facilities good overall, although tend to become less relaxing when more guests arrive, so we relished the quieter moments.

Pamper weekend for myself and daughter

Loved the pool - felt luxurious and private (even though there were other guests using the pool) Great staff and beautiful room in a wonderful setting Breakfast delicious and plentiful The hotel didn't feel too crowded even though they were hosting a wedding Attention needs to be paid to kettle location in the room plus need to have a usb charging point each side of the bed Non slip mat for the bath/shower covered the plug hole if not careful Food was disappointing from the A la Carte Menu and Service was very slow - due to the wedding party?

Wonderful stay

Staff were extremely helpful at all time, nothing was too much trouble. Room was amazing with comfortable bed and breakfast was lovely. We didn’t use the spa facilities but found the parts of the hotel we did use to be extremely clean and welcoming.

Great hotel, fantastic staff

Lovely hotel and facilities spa was fantastic. The only thing for me was the bed. The mattress was a little bit too soft and I am used to a hard mattress so give me backache in the morning. Restaurant was good staff very accommodating and friendly but would definitely stay again and recommend a friends.
Melanie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Welcoming, and breakfast staff was extremely professional and great service. I think that they all are a great asset to the hotel. Spa a little bit small. Gym equipment top speck, how ever water fountain was warm water and in cone cups so not great, as needed to keep getting water. Over all looks lovely and great as a hotel or wedding venue. We actually got married here and the day was wonderful.

Yes yes yes!

Our one-night stay was absolutely wonderful. Every employee had a warm smile and made us feel genuinely welcome. The hotel was spotless, well-maintained, and provided a truly relaxing atmosphere. The food was fantastic, and the service was outstanding—staff went above and beyond to accommodate our last-minute requests. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment and can’t wait to visit again!

Sarah, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Just ok - greater attention to detail would help

Overall fine for 1 night stay. Room generally comfortable - thankfully a fan available and outside temperature had dropped slightly otherwise would have been a much less comfortable experience. Dismayed to find faecal matter on the wall by the toilet. Attention to detail in housekeeping could be better - reported to reception who apologised, but no offer of goodwill for the experience was given. Disappointed to not be able to access the outside hot tub before 8am - by this time others entered the hot tub including a young child which surprised me. We were departing after breakfast so could not stay longer to use the spa facility. Breakfast ok - bacon was dried out as though it was under a heat lamp too long? Overall ok - parking was fine - only appeared to be a standard plug for electric vehicles- not usable for our vehicle so had to charge offsite which was also a shame.

Adrian, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL****** It’s advertised as luxury but is no better than a holiday inn… in fact the beds at holiday inn are better, the beds are two single beds pushed together advertised as a super king size, when bought to the attention of the management the response is that’s what most hotels do? Yes maybe cheap low budget hotels but not ones advertised as luxury, complete RIP OFF. Worst hotel in Kent.
