This is our Budget pick for the Maidstone area, though it carries 4 stars. The guest score is 8.0 out of 10 from 1,258 reviews. Families get family rooms, and the property lists a gym, a pool, a garden and a terrace, which helps on a rainy day.
It is not a choice for travellers who plan to explore on foot. Every place in our data is several kilometres away. Guests who are strict about cleanliness should also read the comments below before booking.
