Where to stay in Tovil
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
The pull here is Wren's Cross and the Maidstone Carriage Museum, both a short way from Tovil's own streets, and neither of them a place that puts a bed on the district's record. Maidstone holds the rooms. Rocky Hill House, Fant House and Warwick House are frontages.
A visitor set on All Saints Church or The Master's Tower does better booking in the town and walking out to Tovil rather than the reverse.

About Tovil
What are the main landmarks in Tovil?
Houses run the length of it. Romney House, Knightrider House, Rock House, Crisbrook House, Fant House, Bockingford House, Rocky Hill House and Warwick House fill most of the Tovil record, and the effect is closer to a street directory than a list of attractions. Churches follow next.
All Saints Church, St Michael and All Angels Church, St Philip's Church and The Unitarian Church stand alongside The Master's Tower and Wren's Cross, while the Maidstone Museum and Bentlif Art Gallery and the Maidstone Carriage Museum supply what the district itself does not.
What is the history of Tovil?
Nothing here is dated. The Tovil entry carries no founding year and no chronicle, so its past has to be read off the buildings that survived it, from Crisbrook House and Bockingford House to The Master's Tower and Wren's Cross. Maidstone keeps the museums.
The Maidstone Museum and Bentlif Art Gallery and the Maidstone Carriage Museum stand on the same record, while Romney House and All Saints Church carry the older names on the district's own list.
