Controversy surrounds the hotel

The Gordon House Hotel made headlines in 2008 due to a dispute with nearby residents.

The hotel’s owners had sought permission from Medway Council to host late-night parties until 1:30 am, including outdoor events for the Sweeps and Dickens festivals, with music playing in a marquee, four times each year. But the proposal caused annoyance among residents of a nearby sheltered home.

With its 15 bedrooms, restaurant, bar and appealing features, the hotel presents a unique opportunity for buyers interested in owning a part of Rochester’s past.
