The Swan Motel, Gillingham

The Stables at Henham Park

"This 3 night stay was arranged for my birthday. First impressions great, lovely place. Owner quite abrupt but welcoming enough. We were shown to the Southwold Suite which was lovely. During first couple of hrs room got colder, no heat in rads. Went to find owner who advised the heating had just come on again. We asked how warm the large breakfast room might be the next morning as didn’t fancy sitting in the cold to eat. The owner went into great lengths to tell us how thermostats worked on radiators, by now my husband and I were pretty fed up when challenged the owner stormed off telling us to leave in the morning and he would refund our deposit. We left straight away one birthday spoilt!!!! Also no longer allowed to walk on the estate despite being advertised as 100s of acres of romantic walks as a working farm which would have meant having to go out in our car which was not the plan."

Dawn Chorus Holidays

"My wife and I stayed in one of the shepherds huts and it was absolutely amazing. For a small accommodation it was perfect, lovely and clean. We will definitely be returning and would recommend Dawn Chorus to anyone. Thanks for a great time."

Swan House

"Would definitely continue to look at other venues. Very unfriendly welcome. So much so I actually apologised twice for turning up! Also woken by a power drill downstairs at 08.30. We have never felt so unwanted! The only positive is its very central. "
