Best Hotels near Otford, Sevenoaks

Unfortunately not the best hotel we've stayed at. Booked for a spa break, but unfortunately parts of the hotel let down our relaxation. We stayed for 2 nights; dinner and breakfast was included in our deal, and as the hotel was advertised as a spa we thought we would spend the two days in the hotel. We ended up not bothering with breakfast one day, and spent our second day out of the hotel. Stains on the bedroom floor, bedside tables with lots of dust, chipping paint and dust at the windowsill, wardrobe door wouldn't shut, told air con and robe/slippers included but neither a part of our stay. Dinner both evenings was nice and a good choice of drinks in the bar with background music. Staff are friendly. We didn't bring up any of our issues to staff because nothing was actually wrong with our stay or we found to be a problem, just not at the standard we anticipated given some of the reviews and website photos. If you're staying for one night for an event or for work, it's absolutely fine. We thought it would be a spa-focused hotel so were a bit disappointed that it's a hotel with a steam room and a pool. We didn't have a bad stay at all, thank you to the staff who were nice, especially the young kids in the restaurant and bar.

Without doubt the best nights stayover I’ve had in years. There’s lots of hotels that play tricks on you. Like, instant coffee in a Cafetière, putting you in disabled access when you're of full ability to charging you for stuff you’d expect to get for gratis, wifi, parking etc etc. When the hot water only goes luke warm, the bath is 4ft and the shower heads max height is 5ft and you’re 5ft 10. The list is endless. Frozen butters, bread that’s thinner than a tramps shoe, jeez, don’t get me started. Non of that with The Castle in Eyesfleet. Plush, decor with soft music playing in the back ground, great lighting and all smiles from their super team. Rooms are light with crisp bed linen, lanterns, coffee machines, windows that actually open, vintage fans, green plants etc. The Castle is like Soho Houses baby brother. A great menu from their relatively new young chef. He left the flat plains of Norfolk heading for the Smoke, stumbled upon The Castle in Eyesfleet and has stayed ever since. Believe me, I know a Thai curry pie sounds grim but it was pretty sensational, although the accompanied gravy boat could’ve done with a touch of coconut/curry sauce. I’d suggested it, so if you order the curry pie and it comes with the sauce, you’ve me to thank. What else can I tell you? The bar? Cocktails, craft beers and more spirits than a haunted house. Full bodied reds available by the glass. Always a bugbear when the house red is like flamin’ Vimto. Not at the Castle, the Shiraz went straight to the knees and had me aiming for bed for a great nights kip.

Stayed at the Donnington manor hotel on the 20/21 April after attending a nearby wedding. On arrival greeted by a polite attentive assistant, already checked in online, so only had to register car for free parking and collect room key. Room 307 second floor, very nice room clean , well decorated and quiet. All the public area's in hotel in very good decrotive condition. Sleepy well on memory foam mattress, slept well. On Sunday morning went for breakfast in the restaurant buffet style, good selection of fresh fruit cereal and cooked meats, eggs cooked to your order (nice touch) all good quality fayre enjoyed breakfast, and service by all staff. If in area would definitely stay again

We stayed for a night while making a motorcycle trip through the UK and picked the Camden Arms when looking for a local hotel. The hotel has everything needed for a good nights rest and a nice pub. The hotel has a convenient parking next to it and a large beer garden attached to the pub. Rooms were fine and the food served in the pub as good. We would recommend this place to others

Overall we were pleasantly surprised with our stay since it was our first time staying at this hotel chain. The location was convenient being right next to the A2, yet still peaceful inside our hotel. The room was very large, the customer service was great and the value for money was so much better than the more established chains. There’s also an independent coffee stand just a short walk from the hotel. It’s called grounded coffee and we recommend a visit. A highly recommended hotel.
