Weald of Kent Golf Course and Hotel, Maidstone - An Unfolding Landscape of Leisure

This is more than just a picturesque golf course; the Weald of Kent Golf Course and Hotel presents a comprehensive leisure experience set within rolling Kent countryside. Its reputation is built on meticulously maintained parkland fairways, challenging elevations, serene lakes, and strategically placed hazards, offering a rewarding game for golfers of all levels. The hotel itself complements this, providing comfortable on-site accommodation and a welcoming atmosphere, making it an ideal destination for a dedicated golf break.

Location

Situated in the heart of Kent, the hotel offers far-reaching views of the surrounding countryside, a constant reminder of its pastoral setting. While specific landmarks are a short drive away - including Sutton Valence Castle and Leeds Castle, both within a 2.5 km to 7 km radius - the true allure lies in its secluded, bucolic environment. It's a place where the landscape itself becomes a key feature, inviting exploration and relaxation away from the urban rush, approximately 80 km from London City.

Style and Character

The Weald of Kent strikes a balance between its primary function as a golf destination and its role as a hotel. The architecture speaks to practicality and comfort, designed to serve golfers and guests without pretension. The atmosphere is one of relaxed camaraderie, especially in the spaces dedicated to post-game reflection. Each department works in concert to ensure a professional, warm, and friendly welcome, creating an enjoyable experience that feels genuine.

Service and Facilities

The hotel's commitment to a positive guest experience is evident in its integrated approach. Staff across all departments ensure customers receive a professional, warm, and friendly welcome. For golfers, the facilities are paramount: a beautifully maintained 18-hole parkland course with significant elevations and water features. Beyond the greens, the hotel offers 35 comfortable double/twin rooms for on-site accommodation. Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the varied class offerings, including Power HIIT, Step and Pump, Express Pump, Pilates, and resistance band training, all designed to cater to different needs and fitness levels. There's also ample parking for 200 cars, and a larger suite, the Lakeside Room, capable of hosting up to 100 guests for sit-down meals.

These rooms feature essential amenities such as air conditioning, heating, tea and coffee making facilities, and a flat-screen TV, ensuring a pleasant base for guests. Many rooms also include a seating area and carpeted floors for added comfort. Bathrooms are equipped with free toiletries, a bath, a shower, and a hairdryer. For those needing more space, suites are available, offering additional features like a walk-in shower and a bath, along with a separate seating area. The twin rooms provide flexibility with options for either two beds or a more spacious arrangement.

Food and Drink

The dining experience at Weald of Kent is geared towards satisfying golfers and hotel guests alike. The menu offers a four-course option, featuring a selection of hot and cold starters, a carvery buffet with a choice of meats, a range of desserts, and cheese and biscuits, concluding with coffee and mints. For more casual occasions, the hotel is an ideal meeting spot before or after a round of golf, catering to friends, family, or colleagues with options for light snacks, or two- and three-course lunches and evening meals. The waiting staff efficiently serve meals, inviting guests to the carvery for their main course.

Value for Money

The Weald of Kent presents compelling value, particularly for golf enthusiasts. Tee times are available seven days a week with great value starting from just £15 per player, making it an accessible option for a golf break. The all-inclusive nature of the hotel and course facilities, combined with the dining options, positions it as a solid choice for those seeking a comprehensive leisure experience without undue expense.

Accessibility

While specific details on accessibility features are not extensively provided, the hotel's design accommodates a range of needs. The presence of different room types, including suites, suggests an effort to cater to various guest requirements. The ample parking and ground-floor access in certain areas would likely contribute to a more accommodating stay for those with mobility considerations.

Family-Friendly

The Weald of Kent is well-suited for families, especially those with an interest in golf. The option for junior members to enjoy unlimited golf and full use of facilities indicates a welcoming approach to younger guests. The Lakeside Room and the variety of dining options can easily accommodate family gatherings, and the relaxed atmosphere of the countryside setting provides a pleasant environment for all ages.

“The golf course views and countryside setting offer a tranquil escape, and the on-site restaurant elevates dining with its local sourcing. While some rooms might show their age, the warm staff and event spaces create a versatile destination. Overall, it's a solid choice for those seeking a blend of recreation and relaxation near Maidstone.”
