Hotels near Bearsted, Maidstone

Just had 3 really, really, enjoyable nights at the BHI. Wonderful location, went on two lovely runs in the area directly on to the North Downs Way. Rooms were fine, great bath and shower, plenty of space. Lovely food, dinner and breakfast were great, in a wonderful atmospheric pub. (Amazing mushrooms at breakfast!) Lovely staff across the board , helpful, friendly, welcoming from reception, to the owner, to the cat, to the wait staff - all lovely. My one, single improvement point would be to have fresh coffee for breakfast over instant. Would absolutely come back - thank you for a lovely friendly stay.

Went here for our 10th anniversary as we got married here and it use to be our local. We had afternoon tea, which was lovely and just the right amount. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and make you feel welcome. We also stayed here, the room was a lovely size, had everything we needed, and we were able to check in slightly early. The furniture in the room is a little dated, but did its job. We had breakfast here which was lovely, with lots of choice. We used the swimming pool, which was clean and so were the changing rooms. We also got to see the start of a Christmas tree going up. A fantastic stay, would highly recommend and will be visiting again.

Having not stayed here for many decades now I was hoping for better. It didn’t start well at reception when asking about the offer of papers in a “privilege” room I was told .. “yeah but you gottta pay for them”! An hour or so later I found the booking confirmation which clearly said papers included with a privilege room. A second visit to reception produced a comment along the lines of “I don’t know anything about that” accompanied by a shrug of the shoulders. Not a good start. I was also surprised that there was no hotel services book in room therefore no info on health club, meal times, operation of coffee machine etc. Even the very basic hotels usually have these. A question on this produced the same line of not knowing anything about it! The room wasn’t anywhere near the standard suggested and was extremely tired and not particularly clean with dusty areas all over. Windows were old fashioned aluminium which meant they needed to be closed due to the A20 nearby. This meant they were dripping with condensation in the morning! One of the bedside light switches was broken and was fixed after reporting, unlike the toilet roll holder that was also broken buy never got fixed! The duvet supplied was far too warm for summer and I have no idea why the bed was so massive but it was quite comfortable. The bathroom was adequate, no more. All in all, I think that Premier Inn rooms are much better and an awful lot cheaper! On the good side... The young guy in bar was very helpful on many things, perhaps he should have been on reception? The restaurant food was good in the evening, breakfast simply OK. I just wish those waiting on wouldn't keep calling everyone 'guys'. Because the bar/lounge and restaurant were essentially the same room, the television on at one end does nothing for the restaurant guests apart from annoy them! But the Health club and were pool fine!

It’s a beautiful place, we were very lucky to be upgraded to the Judge Mellish room on the day, it was a large room with a beautiful 4 poster bed, all wonderfully decorated in the style of the time, bathroom was excellent with a fantastic shower, there was everything we needed in the room including a fan, we slept really well, there was a little noise from outside but they supply ear plugs but to be honest it wasn’t loud at all and didn’t need them. The only thing we didn’t personally like was the satin bedding, it looked stunning and luxurious on the bed but personally we prefer cotton. We were welcomed by a lovely lady who showed us to our room and had the room ready early for us on our request, would 100% recommend and would stay again.

What a lovely stay! Great rooms clean and tidy, good location! A lovely welcome from Terence who was very friendly and helped with all my needs. Katie in bar was very friendly and helpful too. The night staff Jordan and Scott were also very helpful and friendly. I had a lovely stay.

Staff at the hotel are extremely helpful and polite. In the restaurant Paula severed us for the evening meal and was very efficient and friendly and dealt with our needs. Very close to the town centre which is within walking distance. Parking at the hotel is plentiful also there is underground parking if needed. Will definitely return.

There was no hot water on arrival, been given a room with disabled shower and with a door linking to another room . After complaining it was changed but the hustle was inconvenient. Wouldn’t book there again. Not what we expected

Absolutely delicious Sunday carvery. All of the meats were incredibly well cooked, tender & carved to perfection. The vegetables & roast potatoes were spot on. The staff are very helpful & friendly. Relaxing environment. Highly recommended!

I recently stayed at the Premier Inn and had a fantastic experience, largely thanks to the warm hospitality and professionalism of their receptionist, Luke. From the moment I walked in, he made me feel welcome and well taken care of, going above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable.
