Chilston Park is a country house hotel in Kent. Popular for romantic breaks and weddings, due to its beautiful grounds and sumptuous bedrooms, its 17th-century listed exterior is a landmark of style in the surrounding countryside. Steeped in history, it has welcomed the cream of English society through its door during a long and distinguished history.

The facilities

One of Chilston Park's major draws is the two AA rosette standard dining at Culpeper Restaurant. An elegant and formal dining area (not a place for tee shirts and flip-flops), it serves up Modern British cuisine of exacting quality. There's also a well-stocked wine cellar and a lovely afternoon tea spread, with fresh pastries, delicate sandwiches and the finest leaf tea.

The rooms

Each of Chilston Park's 53 bedrooms is luxuriously, if traditionally, appointed, with antique furniture, original oil paintings and all mod cons (flat screen television, DVD player, internet etc). Bathrooms are stocked with lovely Gilchrist & Soames toiletries, and there's complimentary mineral water throughout too.
