Breakfast was fabulous, as was the welcome; Guy was very helpful and moved us happily to a better room for our needs.

Location very good In view of the Covid lockdown the breakfast was good

Staff excellent very friendly and go above and beyond

We stayed in the Chilston Park Hotel for 2 nights on the 2nd August for our wedding night stay. We were truly grateful to be upgraded to the Gilt Suite which made our stay even more special. The room was lovely with an amzing view of the grounds. The hotel has mainted a covid secure environment and it feels very safe. We would like to say a massive thank you to Marc. Whom we met on Saturday for his last shift at Chilston. He is a truly inspirational man and a real credit to the company. Marc went through the history of the house with us and made us feel so welcome. Thank you to all the staff at the Chilston Park who made our stay safe, relaxed and a wonderful start to our marriage life.

Food was excellent, staff was knowledgeable and it was beautifully presented. Bed was comfy and the room was well appointed, would stay again

A beautiful hotel set in gorgeous countryside surroundings ... the room was very comfortable and clean. There was plenty to choose from at breakfast. We’ll definitely be back !

The dinner last night and the breakfast this morning were very good. Plenty of choice at breakfast and the staff were very attentive. The table linen and bed linen were very clean and fresh looking, as were the cutlery and tableware . Also, we liked the coffee machine in the room with a range of coffees available.

Breakfast was excellent. A comprehensive cold buffet and an excellent range of cooked breakfasts prepared to order. Real juice and good coffee. Dinner was excellent. Beautiful dining room and very attentive staff. Beautiful Georgian building steeped in history with lots of interesting rooms and grand oak staircase set against beautiful countryside.

Breakfast was very good with plenty of choice. Using Culpepper restaurant for breakfast very pleasant.

Chilston Park is like stepping back in time. The hotel is stunning as are the surroundings. Magical at Christmas 🎄

Neighborhood info
There are so many things to see and do in the beautiful Weald of Kent, and either of our two Hand Picked Hotels makes a great base for a long weekend. South of the Thames Estuary between London and the Channel and covering the south east corner of England, with the chalk ridge of the North Downs running centrally from east to west, at the heart of Kent lies the majestic city of Canterbury, crowned by its medieval cathedral. From historical buildings such as Leeds Castle and Hever Castle to stately homes in Knole, a well-preserved Roman Villa at Lullingstone to glorious gardens like Penshurst Place, and the stunning Georgian spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells, not to mention a whole heap of stuff for children to do, Kent offers a wealth of exciting attractions for the whole family.
