ORIDA Maidstone Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great hotel but the bathroom water the hot water tap was slow with little water trickling. Otherwise the gym, sauna, steam, pool were amazing. I feel relaxed and happy. Nice break."

Spring River Ebbsfleet by Marston's Inns

10/10 Excellent

"This was my second stay and it was as excellent as the first. The Receptionist was extremely helpful and even remembered me from last time. The hotel is in a great location for Brands Hatch which is only 15 minutes away. The Pub and Restaurant next door has really good food and a nice atmosphere. The room and bathroom was immaculately clean and tidy and is a good size. It has a really comfy bed too. The heating was great which was most welcome with the awful cold weather! I can't fault it and I highly recommend it. I will certainly stay again."

Luxury Pod-sleeps 2-hot Tub-pets-garden

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay at the Honey Pod. Communication and instructions before arrival were wonderful and made everything so easy. The space itself is compact but has everything you need — a cozy kitchen/lounge area, comfortable bedroom, and clean bathroom. The wood burner hot tub in the garden was such a treat, perfect for relaxing under the stars. It’s beautifully secluded and feels like you’re tucked away in the middle of nowhere — peaceful, quiet, and magical. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind and escape! "
