The Kitchener Suite
The most distinctive of the five mansion house suites, and the one with the most space. A grand double bedroom looks out over the gardens, and a separate lounge means you’re not confined to the bed or the desk.
Named after the Field Marshal who purchased Broome Park in 1911 and transformed it; the panelled walls and chimneys you see throughout the house are largely his work.
For a special occasion or simply a stay where the room itself is part of the experience, this is the suite to book.
The Mafeking Suite
A newly refurbished suite in our Grade I listed mansion house. Opulent double bed, bathrobes, and the quiet that comes from thick walls and being surrounded by parkland.
The Oxenden Suite
Named after the Oxenden baronets, who owned the estate before Kitchener’s purchase in 1911. A newly refurbished suite in the original listed building, comfortable, well-appointed, and the sort of room where it’s easy to stay longer than planned.
The Dixwell Suite
A newly refurbished suite in the mansion house. Opulent double bed, bathrobes, and the little touches of luxury you’re looking for in a romantic weekend away.
The Charles II Suite
One of five named suites in the listed mansion house, each connected to the estate’s history. A good choice if you want a room with a sense of occasion.
Seventy acres of Kent, and a house that changes with the seasons
Kent is a beautiful county in every season, and the estate reflects that.
Spring transforms the grounds and gardens into colour and long evenings that feel full of possibility. Summer gives you the full run of the grounds, the parkland, the golf course, and the Italian Gardens, with no reason to be anywhere else. Autumn offers something quieter and more atmospheric, rich colours in the grounds and softer light through the windows. And a winter stay, with the mansion house lit and a cosier atmosphere, is an especially good choice for a couple looking for something truly romantic.
