I stayed at the BHI for one night in July, with my partner and our two small children. The hotel is situated behind the pub and comprises a number of modern rooms, separated into two blocks. Each room is named after a flower - we stayed in Bluebell, which appears to be one of two family rooms. The room was... more

We have just returned from Maidstone after visiting the Antiques Roadshow at Leeds Castle. We stayed at the Black Horse for Two nights B&B, we enjoyed the whole experience.The room was clean , light and airy and quiet. The food at night was excellent and served by friendly and attentive staff. We have no problem recommending the Black Horse Inn... more

I travel all over the country on business, preferring to stay in pubs rather than large, impersonal hotels. With the Black Horse I have found an absolute gem. Friendly and helpful when I 'phoned to book, I then received a warm welcome on my arrival. As a lover of real ales, in a traditional pub type atmosphere I was very... more

The Black Horse Inn is well located to visit many attractions in Kent, in particular Leeds Castle, Hever Castle, Canterbury and 1066 Country. This Inn serves terrific food. Lunches and Dinners are worth the trip. And the service is friendly and efficient. The rooms are pleasant and clean. Administrative staff were very helpful, knowledgeable about the area and wonderfully friendly.... more

Bedroom bright airy and good stock of tea & coffee (inc herb tea etc) . Only issue with room was slightly musty bathroom smell. breakfast very good - cooked with local produce more

Stayed for one night and found everything excellent. Quiet room ensured a good-night's sleep. Booked for dinner, the pub was very busy, but the staff were extemely effecient, helpful and friendly. Our full English breakfast the next morning was one of the best we have had at any hotel. A very convenient stopover about 5 minutes off J7 of the... more

My husband and I have just returned from a two night stay at the Black Horse Inn, Maidstone, Kent. The food, location, staff and accommodation were all excellent, we had no complaints at all and will return at a later date. If you are looking for a peaceful country location just a few minutes from the M20 then this is... more

We stayed here for 3 nights from 27th December for a short break after Christmas and could not have made a better choice. We wanted somewhere to stay that had a rural setting, was comfortable with good food and good service - this more than ticked all the boxes. There were several touches included which added to the experience including... more

I have stayed at this Small hotel often as a business traveller working in the area. I cannot fault the lovely warm welcome and personnal service which I always received from everyone involved with this place. The rate was always very good and the breakfast was and I think will be the benchmark that other hotels have to match. A... more
