Bank holiday weekend.
Stressful start difficult to find and couldn’t pay to park so worried for two days I would get fined until car park company sorted it out . Long walk with the food and luggage which we hadn’t expected. Property was clean and spacious and very private despite being next to the towpath. Very relaxing , good facilities and kitchen was well equipped for cooking .

What a gem Lady Florence is
Had a wonderful stay on Lady Florence. Beautifully decked out inside and out. Great amenities. Plenty spacious. Nice welcoming touches. Catches the sun throughout the day. Location is perfect if you want to pop to the local pub/restaurant or have a pleasant walk along the river into Maidstone. Georgina was a great host. Highly recommend staying.
