Accommodation Facilities and Requirements

You may have specific requirements that you want at your choice of holiday accommodation in Kent. To ensure you are able to find what you need, it is often easier to search for the sort of facilities that you want rather than search by location. By entering a keyword into the search box, you can filter accommodation until you find the right place to stay.

Our guide to the types of accommodation and the quality assured rating scheme will help you check that your accommodation meets your expectations. There is information on accessible accommodation and the awards for Green Tourism and the Breakfast Award.

Cyclist & Walker Friendly Accommodation

Being able to find cyclist and walker-friendly accommodation is a must. From self-catering accommodation to bed and breakfast options, high-quality hotels to glamping and holiday cottages, the range of accommodation options available to cyclists and visitors embarking on a walking holiday throughout Kent is as comprehensive as they come. Many properties offer secure areas in which to leave your bike during your stay, or maybe even open spaces in which to dry and clean outdoor clothing and footwear.

To help you identify those properties best-suited for your stay, look out for the Cyclist or Walkers Welcome logos. Recognised throughout the UK these logos help provide the peace of mind and confidence needed by walkers and cyclists that they’re booking a suitable property for their stay and which can support their needs throughout their visit.

Stay Online

Staying connected is important to many of us, even on holiday. And, for those embarking on a business trip, the need to stay in touch with colleagues, clients, emails, and more over the internet is essential.

Choosing accommodation with WiFi connectivity means being able to visit and stay in Maidstone and keep connected to the online world. It also plays an integral role in helping you unwind should you be visiting for leisure; being able to find entertainment for children and adults alike, accessing local tourist information, and being able to make bookings and reservations online all add to an enjoyable break. Making sure your accommodation caters to these requirements is key.

Many hotels and accommodation providers offer wifi connectivity throughout the premises, whether in public areas – such as receptions, bars, and restaurants – or with internet access provided in bedrooms. Simply browse the various accommodation providers and look at the facilities section on their information. The cafes and lounges at both Hilton Maidstone and the Village Hotel are very popular ad hoc meetings. Our Conference Maidstone website provides more information on facilities for business visits
