Chilston Park Hotel

Just returned from a perfect 3 night stay with my mother. Pretty, well maintained hotel & grounds. Great food & service. Fantastic staff who are all friendly, kind, and professional. Especially the bar & restaurant staff. Already planning a return trip x

Location: While it's undoubtedly convenient for a weekend away from London there are better places nearby. Considering the number of event rooms it's probably catering for weddings and similar occasions. The grounds are smaller than expected and you can hear the motorway nearby. The main building is a typical country house hotel style, sitting rooms are not as comfortable as in many other similar laces we have been to, but the terrace at the back is very convenient and charming on a summer day. Would be nice to be able to walk around the pond or be offered some board games, something to do with children. Rooms: Rooms are located in the main house and stables next door. Our junior suite at stables was dated and in need of an update. The bedroom windows faced parking lot, which was somewhat loud late at night. This combined with one of the toilets being broken (running water) didn't make it a comfortable sleep. The bed itself was comfortable with selection of various pillows, but an extra child bed was right outside the bedroom door - making sofabed in the living room would have been better. Restaurant: Dinner was fairly good, particularly beef Wellington, and the price including drinks was about average for such hotels. Breakfast was also decent although coffee and tea so so (and would have been good to have slightly bigger pots). Wait to be served was rather long considering it was not that busy. Staff/ service: Staff was universally good from reception to waiters, very friendly and happy to chat to both adults and children. I give an extra star for quality of service. Overall about average country hotel stay, but it has more potential.

Although some areas could take a lick of paint, this traditional country house hotel was just what we wanted pre our Le Shuttle journey. The staff are an absolute credit to hospitality, the food is delicious and the bed was comfy, great shower pressure and peace and quiet plus safe parking.

Tres jolie halte dans le Kent , dans un cadre enc. Très bel hôtel !!! Cadre magnifique, bien que les extérieurs soient bruyants car l’autoroute passe au bout de la propriété… Mais aucun bruit à l’intérieur ! Excellents repas : dîner et petit déjeuner. Pour le paiement : mieux vaut régler par carte , ou prévoir l’appoint pour régler car ils ne rendent pas la monnaie ( ils ont gardé 15 pounds sans me demander mon avis )

Beautiful hotel surrounded by English countryside . A really relaxed atmosphere & friendly , attentive staff including Matt , Nathan & helpful reception staff . We needed extra keys & photos taken - nothing was too much trouble . Food was also lovely and they take cash which is important to me .

I’m writing this review whilst sitting in my beautiful room, listening to the sound of birdsong! 10/10 from start to finish. The staff are friendly and welcoming, going above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable- Matt, Nathan and the fabulous guys on reception- thank you! Room- beautiful! Slept well on the comfortable bed and loved the fact that both rooms were different. The perfect country getaway with friends. It was my friends’ first stay here and they were bowled over! We shall definitely return!
