We have been coming to eat at The Hilltop for a number of years and after yet another amazing lunch have decided to write a review on Trip Advisor. Darren is the host. He is one of life's angels. He has such charisma and warmth. He is the most amazing host. His attention to detail is second to none and... More

After more than 5 trips to The Hilltop, it's time I wrote a review on Trip Advisor. Someone else on here stole the phrase I wanted to use; I am going to use it again, this place is a national treasure. This is a small, family run Hotel, bar and restaurant tucked away in the quant Kent countryside. The rooms... More

Booked here with friends for evening meal just before xmas, had no idea what to expect but what a brilliant evening. Darren the owner must have a great love of the theatre because as you walked in it felt like you were in a theatrical setting, the decor and ambiance are amazing, this is Miss Havishams without the cobwebs. After... More

What can we say that hasn’t already been mentioned in previous reviews. The photos on the web do not do this place any justice what so ever. Darren (The hostess with the mostest!) has certainly got this hotel spot on in terms of decor and customer service. It definitely puts the London 4 star hotels to shame! We were greeted... More

My wife and I came here from America for our niece's wedding and it was an outstanding venue and wedding. The Hotel is family owned and Daren, makes you feel truly welcome immediately and caters to your every need. The wedding setting in the surrounding gardens was beautiful and the hotel itself is an eclectic mix of old England and... More

I stumbled upon the Hilltop through a (fortunate) Google search. My usual hotel (The Holiday Inn) was (thankfully) full so I looked for an alternative. The booking was handled efficiently and Darrens friendliness and attention to customer service shone though in our conversation. He gave the impression that "nothing was too much trouble". On arrival I was greeted by Darren... More

I cannot thank Hilltop enough for the wonderful celebrations for my 25th wedding anniversary. We were made welcome from the start, the meal was fantastic and ourselves and our 60 guests were looked after way above any other venue we have ever been to. The whole team of staff cannot do enough for you and I would highly recommend the... More

WOW, WOW, Wow. I have stayed in some good hotels through out the world in my time but this place beats even Sandy Lane in Barbados. Kent weather isn't as good but the service and the attention to detail in making you feel not only welcome but as one of the family is the only place I have ever found... More

Spending time at Hilltop is so many different things, it is like being part of an ''exclusive club''. You are spoilt, made to feel special and there is always the charm of the unexpected ! We love love love it - (The Fridays and Joan) More
