Lakes Restaurant at Hempstead House Hotel restaurant reviews




Average rating: 4.6
A beautiful countryside retreat that perfectly combines luxury, comfort, and attention to detail. I loved how peaceful and elegant the whole atmosphere felt from the moment I arrived — warm lighting, classic decor, and a welcoming scent that immediately makes you feel at ease.
The rooms are spacious, spotless, and tastefully furnished, with quality bedding and all the amenities you’d expect from a 4-star hotel. I especially appreciated how quiet the surroundings are — it’s ideal for relaxation or a romantic weekend away.
The spa facilities are outstanding: the pool area is clean and calm, the sauna and steam room are perfectly maintained, and the staff are professional and kind. Treatments are top-quality, using premium products and offering real therapeutic benefits.
Dining here was another highlight — the food is fresh, beautifully plated, and full of flavour. Service throughout the hotel is consistently excellent — attentive but never intrusive.
I’d recommend Hempstead House to anyone looking for a refined and relaxing experience in Kent. Every visit feels like a short holiday, and the care shown by the staff truly elevates the stay to a 5-star standard.
