What guests think

Reviews of Bridgewood Manor Hotel & Spa highlight friendly, helpful staff and welcoming lounges, alongside dated bedrooms that can run warm without air conditioning, limited bedside sockets, and occasional noise from thin walls or adjoining doors.

Cleanliness is generally praised, though some rooms and fixtures show wear and a few housekeeping lapses are reported. The pool and spa are popular, but can feel small or have access quirks like early closures or paid robes. Food feedback is mixed: several enjoyed meals and breakfast, while others found menus limited, service slow, and drinks pricey. Expect a comfortable, conveniently located stay with dated rooms and variable dining and service.

Check in was quick and very friendly and they reminded us that should we need anything, we only had to ring reception. The room was cold but quickly heated up once we turned on the heating. The electrics are dated, in the fact that there was a double socket next to the radiator, behind the front door and one free socket behind the TV. This would make it difficult if you needed to work on a lap top in the room. I would have liked USB chargers by the bed. An halloumi burger was ordered at a £5 room service charge, but was disappointing as the burger was very soft with all of the fillings. Breakfast conististed of fruits, yogurts, cereal, a machine for different coffees, juices, toast, sunny side up eggs, scrambled eggs, mushrooms, beans, sausages, vegetarian sausages on demand, bacon, French toast, pastries and cakes. There were no tongs for the bread, pastry and cakes, which would have been better. The spa was fully booked, so if you want a massage, I highly recommend that you book before your visit. Female changing rooms have 2 showers, which shampoo, conditioner and body wash, and 1 toilet. 2 heated tiled beds were on the upper level, and a pool, a small 4 seater steam room, a 4-6 seater sauna (4 strangers for personal space), and 3 showers. All were very nice and relaxing, however the pool space echos badly and there is no relaxing music which meant that some peoples conversations were irritating. There is no jacuzzi. Rochester is a 15min drive away, for restaurants

For some reason the radiators were on everywhere so the hotel was stifling.

My first contact with staff was positive. Sadly, my next experience was far from pleasant. I booked a room for my friends under my name. When I brought some laundry up for my friends I was not allowed to take it to them but the staff member I spoke to said she would take it to them. This never happened. When I asked for an explanation I was told to stop being aggressive. Yep you're reading this correctly. Then I was branded a racist. I asked how am I being racist? Never got an answer to that question. A simple, I'm sorry I forgot to take the laundry to them might have been a better approach rather than making excuses.

The hotel is in a good location for Brands Hatch racing circuit and a small drive to the nearest station with links to London. The hotel itself is now in dire need of refurbishment, I have stayed here for around ten years for the convenience stated at the beginning. But the hotel has not changed in this time, the rooms are very dated with lack of plugs in the room (two in total and ones for the TV), lack of proper heat management, you only get an adjustable valve on the radiator but the reception stated the heating is on a timer anyway so in other words, useless. In my room there was a heated towel rail which didn’t work and was overdue a PAT test by 18 months. The decor of the room also needs updating, Bridgewood manor does command a premium price but the cheaper hotel chains have much more modern rooms, it is very dated and gives the hotel an old dingy vibe. The food is one of the stand out features of the hotel and the quality of food is very good, albeit slightly expensive, beer prices at this hotel are more expensive than central London.

Heating was excessive even with radiator turned off. Walls seem to be made out of cardboard but staff was very responsive when I complained about my noisy neighbours. Food was really good, had the steak and it was cooked to perfection. Breakfast was very decent with a large selection of items. Can't comment on the spa as I didn't visit it. 7.5/10

This hotel is very old fashioned, carpets and the furniture looks like they' from the 1980s. The room was fairly clean and staff on the whole are friendly. However, the room was very hot and guests have no control over the temperature which meant I had to sleep with the window open and use the fan that is provided all night which is a waste of energy. The big issue with this hotel is the cost and quality of the food. Me and my partner ordered a breakfast with the room each day and what a massive disappointment. The first morning we had breakfast the sausages were pink in the middle, the bacon resembled leather and was almost black in parts. The fried eggs were very hard and the fried bread I was not brave enough to try as they were all different shades of dark brown. I can honestly say that for an English hotel this is the WORST fried breakfast I have ever had in the UK and I have lived in the UK my whole life. The next morning it was marginally better but the woman in there was very rude. After sitting down she then asked me to move in which I declined. She took great offence to this. My advise to the hotel is either improve the breakfast and train staff to cook the food correctly and greet customers at the door or do not offer this service any longer. Furthermore, breakfast should be fresh or cooked to order. At best people will be disappointed at worst people will be poisoned. The food in the restaurant is extremely over priced for what you actually receive. The prices
