Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A historic country house in parkland at Sandway, near Lenham, run by Hand Picked Hotels. It sits between Maidstone and Ashford, handy for the Channel Tunnel. It suits a stopover or a slow Kent weekend with parkland walks. Dogs can use the lounges, bar, terrace and grounds.
