The hotel looks nice and the public areas are well kept (apart from the dead flies on the windowsills next to the tables) the attention to detail needs work.

The rooms however do need some attention from the management. Poorly maintained, very dirty and unkept. Disappointing for a hotel at this price point.

The staff are all very nice and are the hotels biggest positive.

The house and grounds are spectacular. The staff -- throughout -- were very attentive. The dinner menu was not extensive but very high quality. And the breakfast menu was large.

It is in a rather remote spot and the signage is poor (often well hidden by vegetation). So that getting there is a bit of a challenge without GPS.

Not the luxury we'd hoped for.

Room was large and bed was really comfortable with lots of pillows. For the price, it was underwhelming though, dated and not very special. The bathroom had an over bath shower which was OK, but as this was a special treat to celebrate my birthday and escape before lockdown, not really what we'd hoped for. Staff were excellent, but didn't make up for the fact that it wasn't up to what we expected. Pictures on website look much nicer. We have been promised some money back, but although a nice gesture , doesn't make it OK.

It is a lovely hotel, with a warm welcome and relaxed atmosphere in a country house - the staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome and the food is excellent. We were upgraded on arrival which was a lovely surprise and the room was beautiful and extremely comfortable. Will we return!!!

No room in the restaurant for our one night stay

Lovely spot, nice interiors.
But on arrival, we were informed that we could not be accommodated in the dining room, due to numbers.
I have very rarely had to pre-book a table in the hotel I am staying in. Perhaps that should be flagged-up when booking a room, if numbers look excessive.

An OK experience in a beautiful setting

Our room was so hot on arrival we had to leave the door open. We arrived late (11pm) and the heating had been left on full blast. The guests above played loud drumming music in the morning and were very active on their running machine (at least that’s what I told my daughter... causing our door to knock on its frame! The ‘homemade’ pancakes had run out... therefore I am assuming they weren’t not homemade at all. The staff were OK but breakfast was a little ‘take it or leave it’, we had to wait ages for tea and coffee even though it wasn’t busy and there was not much customer care being offered.

Light on lights

My stay was excellent, staff very helpful, breakfast excellent (I didn't have an evening meal) . My only complaint was that my room, delightful inside, overlooked the courtyard, which had bright (security?) lights on all night. The room had no curtains, so...
Those light should go off c. 10.30pm as they are not necessary, although make the yard look pretty. That would save energy too...

Ok

Hotel was nice, could do with a Hoover on stairs etc but rooms were clean.

Breakfast was fine but we were given tea instead of coffee- I’m sure if we’d have asked they would have changed it but we didn’t bother.

An okay place to stay. I’d return if I was in the area

Great room, not a great view.

Really nice looking room (Brigadoon) with a lovely 4 poster bed but we couldn't open the window because of the noise which looked like the air conditioning generators. So no nice view either. Room was hot so we put air-conditioning on but about every 10 minutes it sounded like a photo copier going off which kept waking us up.
Facilities in the room were good and breakfast in bed was nice but half the items we asked for were missing like milk.
We didn't eat anything else while we were there but had drinks at the bar, a little expensive but no more than I expected.
Superb looking hotel with lots of history.

Valentine escape

What a wonderful place from when you woke up to when the maid asked if they could turn down your bed! The stunning scenery as well complimented the whole experience.
This was a great venue and a relaxing escape, for a very reasonable price. The food (albeit we only had breakfast) was brilliant and the staff were extremely helpful.

We booked a room in the manson block thinking that was the oldest part of the house - which it is not - slightly disappointing but nothing wrong with the room per se and a good size. The oldest part of the hotel has some amazing architectural features.
We thought the staff were attentive and friendly.

A Nice Place

While we only had one night, it went well. Staff were a little standoffish, but otherwise ok. The room was nice, grounds are lovely, and the building itself is charming. Be advised if you arrive late (after 9pm) your food options are quite limited (their 24 hr cold sandwiches only) and a bit overpriced for what you get. Otherwise we recommend this location.

Very nice hotel and food etc was wonderful

The hotel was in a nice area close to ferry port etc ..the place is top notch and everything was to a high standard. The room we were in had very low beams and I think staff could do with checking on guest height as it was difficult to walk about in the room. We ate an excellent meal at night and loved the antique feel of the place, unfortunately only there for 1 night. Will come again when we use the ferry or channel tunnel.

We have just enjoyed a lovely long weekend in Kent. The food was excellent, we were upgraded to a suite of rooms with 2 bathrooms, the gardens and grounds of the hotel are delightful with lake, lambs and daffodils at this time of year. We walked one morning from the hotel along footpaths through woods and fields nearby. Thoroughly refreshing.

Lovely hotel, very comfortable

Really like Chilston, I have known it since the time of the Millers, and have fond memories of some very cheerful Sunday lunches with Judith and Martin.

We had our wedding lunch there.

My great disappointment this time is the food.

I was away for work reasons, and I thought dinner looked a bit grand for someone on their own, especially as the pricing did not allow you to just have two courses.

I selected from the lounge menu.

The caesar said was a nasty melange of lumps of chicken, a horrid sauce no anchovies; in short it was revolting and presented very badly.
In all fairnesss I was not charged but it was very disappointing.

I treated myself to a parfait for pudding: it tasted very good but was again badly presented.

Hopefully a one off!

Thoroughly recommended

This is a great hotel with superb food and friendly and helpful staff. On arrival, we had been assigned to a room with low beams but, as I'm 6' 4\" and in danger of hitting the beams, without us asking we were immediately offered a swap and we moved to a room with no beams.

We stayed for three nights and ate in the hotel each night as well as enjoying an afternoon tea. The staff were very accommodating and on one occasion they were happy to upgrade a starter into a main course. The table d'hote menu has good choice and is good value, better value than the ala carte we thought. Breakfast was lovely and the traditional cooked option was always prepared fresh so arrived piping hot.

The hotel is in country setting and is well placed for a visit to Leeds Castle.

100% perfect!!

Had a cheeky night away with my husband...picked this hotel as I was drawn to the beautiful staircase, and boy what a hotel. Our room 'Shelly' was absolutely beautiful, the food was to die for...we opted for the £39 3 course meal, and we were not disappointed, empty plates after every course! Have recommended it to all my friends and we shall definetley be returning in the summer.

Great country hotel with excellent staff.

We stay here every year en route to and from France. The service is always impeccable and the rooms are always good in the annex but this time we were unlucky to be allocated a tiny room which required steep stairs to reach the bathroom then a duck to avoid banging head on the sloping ceiling.
Next time will ask to view the room before accepting it.
That said, the staff are excellent and if we had asked to change rooms they would have probably sorted it out very willingly but for just one night it was bearable.
Overall this is a great hotel and one of our favourites in the south of England.

Lovely country hotel

Chilston Park Hotel comprises very attractive buildings and grounds in the Kent countryside.
We are due to attend a wedding there next summer and wanted to look at the venue for ourselves and see what it was like to stay there as a guest. We were not disappointed. The food,room and service were excellent and staff very friendly.
