Country Elegance Just Outside the Buzz

Modern comfort meets historic charm at Chilston Park Hotel, a grand 17th-century country house set in 22 acres of tranquil parkland. Located just 12 miles from Maidstone and with easy access to the M20, this Grade I listed gem offers a luxurious rural escape with antique-filled rooms, lush surroundings, and a fine-dining experience in its 2 AA Rosette restaurant.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're heading to a show in Maidstone or nearby, you'll appreciate the hotel’s peaceful location—perfect for unwinding after a loud night. With free on-site parking and convenient road links, getting to and from venues is a breeze. The late 3:00 PM check-in and elegant surrounds make it an ideal spot to refresh before heading out or to sleep in after a long night.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking to stay in a unique, storied setting

Food and Drink Options

You won’t go hungry here. The on-site restaurant serves locally sourced evening meals and hearty full English breakfasts—ideal for slow mornings after a late night. The bar and drawing room offer lighter bites and drinks, with open fires and classic ambiance. While round-the-clock room service isn’t available, the quality of food and setting makes up for it.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a party hotel—but that’s the point. Enjoy a quiet drink by the fire in the bar or head into Maidstone (a short drive away) for pubs, clubs, and late-night eats. It’s the best of both worlds: serene surroundings with nightlife within reach.

What People Say

Guests rave about the beautiful setting, exceptional service, and the hotel’s unique character—many mention the antiques and four-poster beds. The restaurant earns high marks for both dinner and breakfast, and there's plenty of praise for the peaceful atmosphere after a busy night out.

Areas for Improvement

The rural location means you’ll need a car or taxi to get to venues and nightlife. Some rooms are in the carriage house or annex, which may feel less grand than the main building—but they’re still comfortable and well-appointed.

The Bottom Line

Chilston Park Hotel is a perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort—a soothing countryside base for concert-goers looking to unwind in style.
