We regularly eat here but this was the first time we had ever stayed overnight. Our bedroom was beautiful with lovely views over the garden. Really comfortable bed and clean linen. Good sized shower and had everything that you needed. Helpful staff and easy check in. Definitely recommend. We will be returning.

Stayed for 2 nights on Sat & Sun 6-8th December. We were greeted with a very busy pub but extremely attentive staff who could not do enough to make us feel welcome. The room was well furnished with a retro vibe. If I am being over critical, I would say that the carpet in the room could do with a clean and the bathroom needs a bit of an upgrade. Having said that, apart from those minor issues, the room was very clean and comfortable. We were accommodated with dinner reservations despite not pre booking and the pub being very busy. The food on both nights was outstanding, as was the breakfast. The pub is very dog friendly and we were very comfortable having dinner with our dog which is a very important thing for us. Would highly recommend the Duke William for a good old fashioned pub with very comfortable accommodation and top notch dining.

This is about as good as it gets for a pub with rooms. I’ve marked some aspects as good, but they should very good, and some aspects as excellent, which also should be very good. Unfortunately the booking site doesn’t give “very good” as an option. Only things preventing an all round excellent review are; pub noise from downstairs (didn’t bother me, but will bother some people) and breakfast too late for me (again, won’t bother some people). The staff provide a picnic basket with cereals and pastries for early leavers.

A fantastic stay. Rooms just perfect. Lovely touch with the coffee machine and the fridge in the pantry with fresh milk and additional bottled water. Breakfast was excellent and far far beyond anything that you would expect at a pub type of stay. Location was quiet and a great base to explore Kent and the coastline. Staff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. Full marks for the Duke William’👏👏

Really quaint property with nooks and crannies - lovely garden area. Room was spotless as was the bathroom. The only negative was it was on the front over the bar and there was a very loud 'stag' party taking place underneath our room. We could hear the Landlord asking them to keep the noise down but eventually when they left around 11pm it was very quiet with hardly any traffic noise at all.

We arrived at 8.15pm and were worried we were too late to eat, bu we received a very warm welcome from a lovely young lady with long blonde hair, who told us that despite our lateness, we could check in before eating. We decided to eat straight away. The food was delicious. I had ham and leek pie with buttery mash and cabbage and my husband had ham hock, egg and hash brown chips. Our room COX was above the bar. It was comfortable and very well appointed. There was a small complimentary decanter of RUBIS, a chocolate ruby port, which was delightful. There was a pantry down the hall, where you could help yourself to refrigerated milk and bottled water along with extra towels, loo rolls etc. The bed linen and towels were good quality. There was body wash /shampoo and condtioner in the shower and liquid soap by the sink. The only thing that let it down was peeling lino by the shower and a the plug for the basin was detached. Breakfast was very good. A breakfast hamper was provided as my husband had to leave very early on the second day. The pub is in a lively village. It has a bar, restaurant, conservatory and plenty of seating outdoors with rural views. All the staff were customer focused. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Highly recommended.
