The Hempstead Hotel is easy to find on a good road (the A2) roughly equal distance from Chatham, Canterbury and Maidstone. It has a large car park. We visited for a just one night to enjoy a short weekend break. Check-in was quick and efficient, the room was large and comfortable. We didn't have dinner at the hotel, but we... More

My partner and I visited hempstead house for one night in April 2012, and were pleased with our stay. The hotel is lovely, a library is downstairs with an open fire (we arrived in a hail storm so this was lovely!) with board games too. In our room we had a small bathroom. We were disappointed not to have a... More

The Hempstead House has two characters. One is a family house hotel with great charm but a little lacking in the modern : WiFi only worked once, rather tired bathroom, plumbing noise form adjoining rooms but wonderful views and friendly staff. The real gems are the surprisingly light and elegant Lake's restaurant with great value good food, service and wines.... More

We recently visited Aquamanda Spa at Hempstead House for a spa day. We had bought a treatment offer via Groupon for my granny's 80th birthday and upgraded our package to a spa day to include use of the facilities and a two course lunch. Although I don't think I would go back to Aquamanda we did have a nice day... More

We are very pleased that these guests enjoyed their day overall but would like to apologise for any disappointment they may have experienced. On arrival the receptionist was taking a booking on the telephone but gestured to them to take a seat. There were two Brasserie staff present but it was the first day for one of them and my... More

We stayed at the hotel for one night as a Bank Holiday get away and a gift to my partner for his birthday. Upon check in we were given a room upgrade - a fabulous start. The room was well decorated, maintained and spacious. We enjoyed an evening meal and breakfast the following morning - both of which were very... More

We have just spent a very pleasant 3 days in this hotel. The room was nicely decorated, clean, and comfortable. The staff were polite and helpful, and most seemed to be local with a useful knowledge of the area. The two meals we had were very nice, and in pleasant surroundings. This was a leisure visit for us, and we... More

Was rather surprised at the mix of homely family hotel with modern, more corporate hotel with spa/gym etc but really enjoyed both. Loved sitting on the comfy chairs in the library reading in the quiet with the log fire burning in the grate nearby as well as swiming in the excellent spa pool, using the gym and taking treatments.

This was my second stay at this hotel as I enjoyed it so much the first time. Unfortunately last minute I couldn't make my reservation but the hotel manager was kind enough to change it to a later date and I really appreciate that. This time we stayed in a room in the newer part of the hotel which doesn't... More
