Really good for a basic room, very clean everywhere. Good choice of teas and coffee with plenty of milk and added bonus of hot chocolate and biscuits. Will stay again
Everyone employee we met, was welcoming, helpful, and looked like they enjoyed working here. Rooms are perfectly adequate and comfy for a short stay, walls a little thin.
Aspect for the bar/restaurant is delightful.
Lovely setting for an overnight stay after a 5 hr drive. Great food and lovely staff.
Didn’t like the flimsy plastic party glasses in the room. Glass or solid plastic one are more in keeping and more useable.
Our stay was short - we had a very early start the next morning so we couldn’t comment on the dining facilities/quality - but everything else was perfect.
We’ll definitely use you again.
Really nice hotel and Golf club. I only managed to get a twin room booked but this didnt rely bother me as i was on my own anyway.
The single bed was so comfortable and the twin room was spacious and clean. Friendly staff and really good food both for dinner and breakfast.
The hotel was good, clean, plenty of car parking.
The only thing was mobile signal was poor so was hopping for good Wi Fi signal but the the Wi Fi was poor.
Rooms were clean and quiet. Grounds and parking easily accessible and well kept. Food for both the evening party and breakfast was superb. Well done all round Weald of Kent.
Excellent in every way. Room clean and with everything you need, all staff friendly and helpful and good quality meals available in the restaurant. Great value for money.
A lovely setting. We stayed in the Lodge which is set a little way from the Golf
Clubhouse where Reception and the Restaurant are to be found. The room was comfortable, very clean and well equipped.
Despite being very busy with a Club function taking place, the restaurant staff provided good service and excellent meals.
Situated within picturesque scenery which instantly relaxes the visitor. The parking area was substantial with spaces very close to the accommodation. I had a lovely ground floor room with air conditioning which was required on such a warm, humid day. I took full advantage of the gym set up they had on site which provided enough equipment to take care of my cardio and weights needs. I explored nearby Maidstone for dining options after refreshing myself under a very powerful shower. A very good night's sleep was obtained which led on to a well=cooked breakfast to start the day off just right. All in all, I was extremely satisfied with my stay here and would pro-actively look to stay here again when in the area.

Stop off to the eurotunnel with friends.
The overall view is a large lavish hotel but our room was tired and old fashioned. The breakfast was nice and the staff friendly. I had an issue with the electric so couldn’t use my hair styler and they sorted it pretty quickly for me.
