About The Darnley Arms

Free on-site parking is a rare find this close to the centre of Gravesend, and it's one of the first things worth knowing about The Darnley Arms. Set on The Street, the hotel pairs the feel of a traditional pub with straightforward, comfortable accommodation for a Kent stay.

Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, drinks available in-room, and free WiFi throughout, with 24 hour reception for guests coming and going at odd hours. Downstairs there's a restaurant and bar for meals and drinks, breakfast to start the day, and a garden with outdoor seating for warmer weather. A golf course, pub and bar options, and further restaurants are all nearby for those who want to venture beyond the property.

The location makes it easy to reach the River Thames, Gravesend Promenade and the town's historic dockyard, giving guests plenty to explore on foot. It's a practical base for anyone wanting to combine a riverside walk with a pint and a plate of food close to where they're staying.
