Village Hotel Maidstone

Village Hotel Maidstone

10/10 Excellent
"We chose this hotel as a stop off on a trip to France, EV charging while we stayed was great, pool area looked new and it’s the first hotel we had seen with an ice bath by the pool. Room looked newly renovated, clean and tidy. Ideal for 1 nights stay and would certainly stay again."
