Set in four acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, Hempstead House is a traditional country house hotel in the village of Bapchild in the heart of the Kentish countryside. Named after the estate's original owners, Lakes restaurant is a step back to a more refined and leisurely era of dining, with fluted pillars and elegant chandeliers. Cuisine is classic British and French, with table d'hôte and à la carte menus, plus al fresco dining during the summer on floodlit terraces surrounding the pool.
