Amazing Hotel & Wedding Venue

Such an amazing venue. Beautiful and historic and the ideal place for a couples weekend away or for your wedding. We had our reception here in the Grand Ballroom and Star Chambers Marquee and it was just perfect. All of our guests complimented the venue and took lots of pictures. We cannot wait to go back on our 1st Wedding Anniversary. Saban & Belinda are lovely and so helpful and made sure the day was just perfect! If you are unsure at all after reading this review, please go and view it in person, you will not regret it!!

Response from the venue

Dear Steven and Deano, Thank you for the great review and it's our first. It was a pleasure hosting your wedding at Stone Court House and it was extra special for us, as it was our first wedding since officially opening on 6th October 2024. You make a lovely couple and we wish you both all the best in your marriage. We look forward to welcoming you back to Stone Court House for your first anniversary. Yours sincerely Belinda and Saban

Beautifully restored 700 year old house.

Fantastic and beautifully restored house. The rooms have four poster beds and some have roll top baths. Easy access to the hotel initially by pin code and then access cards once in your room. There are numerous lounges and sitting rooms with beautiful décor including a suit of armour etc. It was warm overnight and thankfully there was a fan in the wardrobe. Would definitely stay again and next time request cotton sheets over satin/silk. Beautiful accommodation!!

We had the pleasure of staying at Stone Court for 4 nights after following the progress of the renovations on Facebook We were not disappointed Beautiful renovation and luxurious bedroom and sitting areas in the house It’s like being in a wonderland for history fanatics with all of the architectural features that are in the building Exceptional hosts who were very kind and prompt with dealing with requests I would not hesitate to recommend a stay here Thank-you to Saban and Belinda

Oh my where do i start. Just perfect absolutely stunning home we was astounded by the home. The only thing i would say is we both agreed the mattresses were nit great and both had bad backs from them but the home itself stunning the owner very friendly and we would definitely come back

Absolutely beautiful stay! Stayed with a big party and the owners could not do enough for us. They were polite, kind, and the house was just so homely! I Absolutely love the no shoes policy. Immediately feel at home and you can just relax. We were at an event so didn't stay in the hotel much, but most definitely wouldn't of complained if we did. Nespresso machines in rooms, fresh water if needed and milk. Beds lovely and cosy. I definitely could not fault this gorgeous hotel! It's a hidden gem.

Luxurious historical experience

The atmosphere is incredible! The rooms are amazing and the history is rich. The satin sheets are a luxurious example of the detail that has been taken in this beautiful and wonderful house. This is even a great place for families. The hosts are so kind.

All I can say is wow, what a beautiful place to stay, the room was amazing, the noise was not bad at all like others have said don’t listen to them, i stayed here on a Saturday night as well, it’s one of the nicest cleanest places, me and my wife have stayed, they all so have vending machines which are very cheap, no problems with the pins on the doors every thing was just perfect great hosts, definitely recommend it, I will definitely be back, thanks for my stay Danny

Brilliant stay for work

I had an absolutely brilliant stay for work. The hotel was beautiful and the rooms were great (Saban upgraded me to a better room for free). The rooms are clean and have everything you need, and Saban made sure everything was taken care of. Could not recommend it more highly!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The attention to detail both in the Restoration of this beautiful listed building to ensuring their guests have everything they need is second to none. Our suite was fantastic, very comfortable, spacious and beautifully decorated. A real gem

Sleeping in a museum!

We had a lovely nights stay at this beautiful hotel, the minute you step through the front door you are transported back in time! The owners have clearly done a great job restoring this building, all the detail and the history of the place is evident in every room. We stayed in the very lovely judge Melish room, the four poster bed was stunning, my husband very much enjoyed the coffee machine. The hotel was very quiet, we didn't see a single soul almost felt as if we had the place to ourselves.

Having recently opened our wedding venue in October 2024, we are excited to be preparing for our inaugural wedding event. Over the past two years, our award-winning hotel has been the chosen accommodation for numerous couples who celebrated their nuptials elsewhere, along with their guests.

Stone Court House offers a complete package: a licensed ceremony room, a reception area accommodating up to 160 guests, a grand Georgian ballroom for discos, luxurious accommodations, and a central Maidstone location with excellent suppliers. It's a venue that combines privacy, history, and romance.
