Was very happy on arrival very nice room,
disappointed to find a half eaten bag of chrisps in the bedside table and used ear plugs , under the bed was a used plastic spoon
This morning went to make a coffee and found the long life milk provided was out of date by over a month , to put into context the milk in our hotel tonight expires in May 2026
Such a shame as venue amazing and convenient

I booked this on behalf of a friend and they showed me around.
It’s a fab mix of old-fashioned comfort and modern amenities and scrupulously clean. The bedroom (Judge Huddlestone) was enormous with a bathroom to match. Tea & coffee in the room but, if you want to be sociable, head for the living area where comfortable sofas, a (mock) log fire and even a chess board ready for play invites you to sit and relax. Next to it is a plush dining area where you can eat food that you’ve ordered. Saves smells in the rooms.
All info for a non-contact check-in was clear and sent in advance along with a few rules that help keep the place a pleasant environment for everyone.
Parking is only a couple of hundred metres away and, compared to what some hotels charge now, was very cheap.
The only criticism would be that toiletries were single use - multi use bottles of soap etc are considered better for the environment.
If I didn’t live on the doorstep, I would certainly stay there myself.

Good overnight stay at a reasonable price in a hotel with real character (panelled walls, four poster bed, even a suit of armour in the main hall!). Check-in is unattended, but worked well with clear instructions given. As per the online description there is no breakfast, or bar, but plenty of availability nearby.

Nice hotel but a few things not happy with. Shoes off at front door and standing on a rough horsehair rug with no seat provided which is no use for an older person. Arrived the Thursday evening and went out shopping Friday morning, came back to find all my items hidden in a cupboard and door left open. Then 3 people, one after the other arrived at the door in the space of 5 minutes to tell me why stuff had been moved and door left open.Turned out they were photographing the room and said I had been sent a message which I was not. Was told that if you stay more that one night they don’t enter your room unless you request them to which I never did. Felt on edge after this happened and worried that someone else would be knocking on the door. No drinks allowed unless bought from the hotel and no takeaway food allowed in rooms which I understand as it is an old building and smells linger. Was surprised to fine long blonde hair hanging from the lampshade which I thought was a cobweb at first. Also blonde hairs caught in my feet from the carpet as no shoes worn. Room was a lot smaller than it was made to look online. Bed very small and held together with metal clamps, would have been better if this was covered with a drape of some sort. Toilet hinge is metal with green marks on it which look horrible. Towels very rough. A few dusty areas in room and bathroom. Bathroom was lovely and huge. Booked as a treat after a bad year but was disappointed,would not stay again.

Beautiful place, but I didn’t like being asked to remove shoes. I understand why, but not when I’m paying to stay somewhere

Check-in was wierd and instructions were garbled. As room no did not appear on booking info I had to try each room to actually find an unlocked door. The check-in advice (times) were inconsistent.
But Wow! The interior was fascinating and despite being renovated retained its 200+ year old charm.
The room was spacious and supplied to 4* standard. The view and location refects its price.

Lovely place. Room was too warm even with the window open (which let in the road noise). Overall happy with our stay

There is no desk clerk to meet you - just instructions by email with a door code and where to find your room and keys. Though not the hotel's fault, Google Maps took me to the back side of this property and it took us about 15 minutes to find the hotel. We walked by the police station and asked a couple of policemen and they didn't even know where it was. The hotel is a very old building, but well kept with spacious rooms and nice decor. There is no A/C and since we were there in mid-June, it was really hot in our suite. Now that we know where it is, we would be happy to stay there again - just not in June. :)

Difficult to rate with one number. In a quieter location I'd give it a five star BUT given its location on a major and very busy street I can't give it more than 3 stars. Were I to visit Maidstone again (and I can't conceive why I'd want to) I would stay elsewhere. Great place in a lousy location. Just one travelers opinion.

Truly beautiful. You step behind this big red door to another place of just beauty and tranquillity.

Beautiful restoration of the building, owners deserve medals for this alone! Easy parking round the corner, beautiful rooms and a lovely stay. Thank you.

the hotel was beautiful, lovely room and amazing bathroom. parking was difficult, the hotel us on a main road so nowhere to unload. nearest parking is above a shopping mall opposite that seems to have a million exits, i was directed to the wrong one but some not very helpful locals. i had 3 heavy bags so it took the shine off the stay somewhat. also the hotel has no staff on site so everything is keyless. weird but functional but they are available on text message and phone. there’s no food available at all here. apparently you are supposed to get an email before you arrive, which i never got and as i wasn’t expecting one i wasn’t checking my spam. So gorgeous building, lovely room just beware if you need to unload or carry anything or expecting to eat.

The stay was ok. Little things made it disappointing, being told day before they had a no shoes policy in the hotel and could leave them at the entrance or carry to room. Mirror on wall was at a child’s height not a normal person. Coffee and tea making was on very low coffee table and needed to kneel down to make it. The place to leave clothes had coffee table in front of it so would not be ideal for long stays. As for building the 700 year old had plenty of character and was well presented.

The house is elegantly decorated and restored to perfection.
A lot of time and resources was put into the restoration of this grade-A listed building. A must see when in Maidstone.

Loved staying at the historic Stone Court House centrally located in Maidstone, an easy walk to the pedestrian zone where you’ll find pubs and restaurants. The property is run by amicable and outgoing Saban and Belinda, who keep the property tight and tidy. Rooms are spacious (I peeked into a few while being cleaned in the morning), individually decorated and historic, thus it is mandatory to take your shoes off at the main entrance just like you would at home. The common areas are palatial, photogenic, and relaxing, a chill locale to savor a glass of wine and shore-up tomorrow’s itinerary. I wish I had more time here, but it’ll have to wait till my return next year.
