We stayed here before and after our wedding and found the entire experience was superb. The room was clean, well furnished with good extras e.g. tea/coffee facilities (including nice biscuits!). The shower was fantastic which is one thing I feel often lets other hotels down, so this one was a win for us! The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, and added extra touches to help us celebrate. The cooked breakfast was faultless and overall I would happily return here.

Midweek treat.
Linked to a visit to Canterbury, Hempstead House was wirthin easy reach. We got shown the hotels facilities before being taken to our room by friendly reception staff. The room was very clean and spacious, the pool was great although the sauna a little small, hydro pool very enjoyable. We enjoyed the evening in the brasserie bar, the barmaid Anna was very good company and her local knowledge was very helpful. We didn't eat in the evening however the breakfast was very good and plentiful, served by a lovely lady. Overall a great stay and will definitely stay again.

Not having up-to date door keys to allow you to access the room I was unable to access my room on two occasions as when the staff had had to let me in with their master key because the keys would not read the door for two days. This has happened they had to give me an extra Metal key to open the door as the electronically key would not work, then the keythat the manager made me aware of that was 20 years old had snapped when I tried to open the door with the key the manager was very rude I felt very pushed distressed and wanted me to pay for this when I simply explained that I should not have been in the convenience of being in the situation where I had to use the key in the first place and I said you had pointed out that you have been using these keys for the last 20 years. Do you not think that they may have been worn due to wear and tear or a faulty key nevertheless I wouldn’t be in the situation, where I would have to use the key to open the door, if the electronic keys would work in the first place and had been up-to-date and not faulty I had found the this lady manager which was around 60 to 70 years old would blonde, curly kind of hair, very rude and very very arrogant. When I explained I would not be happy to pay £50 for a new key as I did not feel at fault also, she had she had pressed me quite a lot asking me squinting her eyes. Why did I not phone up and let them know about a dinner reservation when I politely explained something that came up and I was unable come

Comfortable well appointed room. Has grown to quite a large hotel but retains a feeling of a small country house particularly in the old building. Nice pool & sauna facilities. Good breakfast included.
