Rowhill Grange
Wilmington // www.alexanderhotels.co.uk/rowhill-grange-luxury-hotel-kent

Rowhill Grange – an incredibly beautiful spa hotel near Dartford – is ‘serious
about the quintessentially English tradition of afternoon tea’, and it shows.
Everything is homemade by Rowhill Grange’s in-house pastry chefs, and
that includes éclairs, profiteroles, Bakewell tarts, and, of course, scones.
And as for the sandwiches, they are made using the freshest, lightest, justbaked bread. You can take tea at Rowhill Grange every day from 12.30pm
until 5.30pm in any one of the intimate lounges, the brasserie, or the
restaurant, and, on lovely summer days, you can even enjoy it on the terrace.

Rowhill Grange is an 18th-century country house hotel in the most delightful
landscaped gardens – it’s surprising that it’s so close to the M25 because
it really is a peaceful haven of tranquillity (which has the added bonus of
being easy to get to). Each bedroom is individually designed, making them
unique, and the Egyptian cotton linens, marble en suite bathrooms, flat
screen TVs and free Wi-Fi just adds to the glamour. And of course, once
you’ve enjoyed your afternoon tea, why not indulge in the Roman-themed
spa, which boasts 19 different treatment rooms, pools, and a steam room?
