Stay With Us
Countryside Escapes and Vineyard Experiences in Kent
Unwind in style in Kent, just 45 minutes from London.
Stay steps from the vines at our Winemakers’ Pub in Goudhurst, unwind at the Tickled Trout in Maidstone, or let us take care of everything with a Balfour Winery Escape: our curated overnight experiences pairing guided tours, seasonal dining, and exceptional English wine into one seamless stay.
However you choose to do it, a Balfour overnight means slowing down, switching off, and soaking up the best of Kent wine country. English wine, food, and countryside all in one.
Our rooms combine rustic charm with contemporary touches: soft linens, local art, and thoughtful details that make your Kent vineyard stay feel effortless. Wake up in an exceptionally comfortable bed, enjoy breakfast downstairs, then hop on the short shuttle to the winery for another day of discovery among the vines.
The Winemaker's Pub
Goudhurst, Kent
The clue is in the name. This is very much a pub that knows its way around a bottle.
At The Winemaker’s Pub, four boutique hotel bedrooms sit above a pub serving comforting classics with a distinctly Balfour flourish. There are sourdough pizzas worth rearranging your day around, a full Balfour wine list (obviously), breakfasts designed to repair and restore, and a pub garden that comes into its own the moment the sun even considers appearing.
Best of all, there’s a complimentary shuttle to and from the winery, just 10 minutes away. Which means you can fully commit to that “just one more glass” energy without needing to negotiate country lanes afterwards.
Think countryside pub, but one that’s quietly upgraded itself.
The Tickled Trout
Maidstone, Kent
Meanwhile, The Tickled Trout is the sort of place that invites you to stay longer than planned. You arrive for lunch and suddenly it’s evening, someone’s ordered another bottle, and staying overnight begins to feel less like a decision and more like common sense.
Its four boutique bedrooms offer a cosy retreat after a day exploring the vineyard, while the pub itself balances relaxed charm with genuinely good food. There’s an à la carte menu for lingering dinners, lighter lunches for sunnier afternoons, and a drinks list that happily moves between Balfour wines, local beers and ciders, and cocktails mixed with confidence rather than theatre.
Add a generous breakfast and a pub garden made for slow mornings, and you have all the ingredients for a countryside escape that feels pleasingly easy.
