The room was too dark. My wife had difficulty with make up and the mirror.The shower was not hot enough. The central heating radiator did not function. This was reported twice but nothing was done. The room itself needs repainting throughout. The food and waiteresses were good.

Advertised as Hotel, but disappointed! I felt it is a Pub offering B&B - there was only a very tiny corner near the reception area given for anyone wanting to sit quietly etc. All was good with regards staff and food!

Everything was fine. Sure, there could have been less limescale in the loo, and a lick of paint wouldn't go amiss, but the linen was spotless, the hospitality impeccable and the breakfast was the best I've eaten in over a decade! Plus, the beer was Shepherds Neame and was kept and poured beautifully. Definitely value for money! .

This was a 1-night stay for work. I was in room 24, which looked out onto the courtyard. Even though this did not affect me on this occasion, the courtyard was the smoking area for the venue, so you might not want to stay in this room if you wanted to open the window. The room was pleasant, the bed was comfortable. The only reachable plug socket to charge my phone was under the desk in the room. The ensuite was okay. Tea and coffee in room was okay, TV control was a bit hit and miss, the Wi-Fi was okay not fast. I had breakfast included in my room price and I had the cooked breakfast which was great.

Regularly stay here due to my head office being nearby, super clean rooms, really nice home cooked food with generous portions, amazing cooked breakfast, staff are all down to earth and happy to cater for any needs, my number one choice to stay when I'm down in the area and they are always competitively priced in the area especially with breakfast being included.

Lovely quaint little village, a good base for visiting Kent but wouldn’t use again. Bathroom was a little tired with missing toilet roll holder, trim falling off shower screen, no floor mat, missing toiletries on day one. Food service was poor - rump steak was tough as old boots, and breakfast orders both days across the restaurant were being served incorrectly with staff repeatedly taking back to the kitchen. Overpriced for that level of service

Very tired rooms. Shower had no hot water, even after 20 minutes. The power was very week too. Room size was ok, but again, tired. Bedding was clean and fresh. Staff were great. Evening meal was ok, but overpriced for what it was. Breakfast was very good, no issue's.
