Had planned to visit friends in Loose and thought the best we would be able to find is a place in Maidstone and then use cabs. |How wrong were we. …

Very warm hosts: directed us to their b&b when the gps failed, came out in the evening to welcome us & gave us lots of suggestions on visits and a warm talk. Wonderful breakfast: lots of suggestions. One of the best b&b's we 've ever visited.

I travelled with our daughter to Maidstone for business. We arrived quite late; and were greeted by Christine and her husband.On entry you could feel and smell the cleanliness level of the B&B. When we were taken to our beautiful twin room, we were not disappointed.Generally when we stay at any 4/5 star hotel, we are not able to relax until we have sanatized the room ourselves, however, we did NOT find it necessary to sanatize our room at Riseden B&B before relaxing. I had a warm feeling of 'Home'.Breakfast was freshly prepared driven by our menu selection.Andy served us each day; he was friendly and warm but professional. Andy's customer service was sincere and consistant;, again we felt very comfortable and at home.Inaddition to their excellent customer service, we were given tips regarding the local area, and whilst our daughter went to work, I was shown into the garden where I was able to relax.Christine, Andy, thank you for delivering such outstanding, friendly, and memorable customer service. I look forward to staying with you soon.Thelma

A hidden gem. A beautiful house with hotel quality rooms, a friendly, family feel and a warm welcome. Andy & Christine went above and beyond to make this a very memorable stay. We went to Mote Park for the music and Riseden came up as a local B&B so we booked it. Every time we called to check something they always answered in a friendly and professional way. Will definitely go back next time we're staying over nearby.
