Maidstone Teapot Island Hotels

"We didn't have the breakfast or use the bar so cannot comment. The rooms were clean and the staff were friendly and attentive."

"The Tickled Trout — West Farleigh’s Warmest Secret Tucked gently into the rolling green of West Farleigh, The Tickled Trout feels less like a pub and more like a love letter to quintessential Britain. It sits there quietly - cosey, warm, and impossibly inviting - as though the countryside itself decided to give you a hug. Step inside and you’re met not by staff, but by hosts, bright-eyed and brilliantly friendly, the kind of people who make you feel as though you’ve lived here your whole life. There’s a soft murmur of conversation, a clink of glasses, and that unmistakable sense of community, so rare these days, yet alive and well within these walls. And then the food arrives. Not “pub grub,” not even close - this is craft, incredibly good dishes that carry a quiet confidence,as if they know they’ll exceed every expectation long before you lift a fork. It’s the sort of cooking that makes you linger, savouring both the flavour and the moment. Stay the night and you’ll find rooms that are beautifully appointed, thoughtful in every detail, where comfort is woven into the fabric of the place. It feels like waking up inside a postcard - still, serene, and wonderfully British. What surprises most, perhaps, is how all this quality -the warmth, the craft, the welcome - comes at a price far gentler than it deserves. It’s hospitality done properly: generous, genuine, and profound"

"The Stables are an idyllic spot - lovely views of fields and the super friendly sheep. A very quiet retreat with excellent facilities and a clean modern feel. Simon the host has been super accommodating even providing me with a desk and chair so that I could work. I felt so comfortable here I stayed for 3 weeks! Recommend highly."

"A quiet and peaceful location, but can be tricky to find and the gate makes parking a bit awkward on the one-lane road. Comfortable place. Note that no food is provided and the nearest food stores are 15 minutes away."
