Excellent breakfast with good choice. Friendly and very helpful host. Very clean and spacious room with table and seats and good shower. Good facilities and furnishings in room. Quiet and peaceful location.

Vary nice and friendly spot. Great food, and very clean and large room. Small lounge nice for in-house meetings with a few people.

Loved the hut and how it was transformed in 1940's style.

French room was beautiful - amazing bath tub! Breakfast was delicious and despite the B&B being on a main road, our stay was peaceful and quiet.

Karen was wonderful. The bed was comfortable. The food was fantastic and we had everything we needed for a great stay.

Room number 5 was lovely very clean the bath was spotlessly clean and very deep

A beautiful quaint guesthouse 2min away from a lovely forest walk. Karen is delightful. The rooms was clean and comfortable. Don’t worry if the room is cold, just ask to put the heating up and it’ll be toasty!

Amazing hotel warm and comfortable plus katherine was great too highly reccomend

Room 5 has a good decor style. Bathroom was a good size and it was a peaceful break, at an awkward time.

Quiet and peaceful good wifi pleasant owner parking Excellent

We look forward to meeting you all
Leeds village in Kent cannot, of course, be compared with Leeds in Yorkshire which is probably the first 'hit' you get when searching for Leeds on the web. We are a small community with fewer than 1000 inhabitants, nestling at the foot of the North Downs in the heart of the Kent countryside five miles south east of Maidstone. The village may have taken its name from the stream known in early times was known as the Hlyde…… the loud or noisy one. We know the original settlement was called Hlydes – 'belonging to the noisy one' and is recorded as Esleades, 1086, Hlydea, Hledes c.1100 and Leeds 1610. LEEDS CASTLE Leeds Castle has been a Norman stronghold; the private property of six of England’s medieval queens; a palace used by Henry VIII and his first wife Catherine of Aragon; a Jacobean country house; a Georgian mansion; an elegant early 20th century retreat for the influential and famous; and in the 21st century, it has become one of the most visited historic buildings in Britain.
