Dog & Bear Hotel

The staff taff were kind and accommodating, rooms needed some love though and the room was noisy due to the constant banging of fire doors.

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! .

Great staff and very good breakfast

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

Nice to have a vegan full English option, bed was very comfortable

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.

Friendly reception on arrival. Nice room with super king sized bed. Very good food in the pub and again at breakfast. Lovely village which had a farmers market happening on Sunday morning

All good

Great location, masdive bedroom that was clean with lovely touches eg coffee maker. Delicious pub tea high quality and friendly staff. Would 100% recommend and stay again.

Quirky old building but well maintained, low ceilings 😅 Fantastic staff, nice pub downstairs, lots of locals eating in the restaurant. Food was a bit average. Bedroom windows don't open more than 2cm due to safety cord.

Lovely place and friendly people

Nice room really comfy beds. Breakfast was good plenty of choice except all our poached eggs were over cooked (6 eggs), we did show the server but no replacements offered. Only thing I need to bring to your attention the shower. Shower was in bath, the screen did not catch on the bath so the slightest touch and water went all over the floor. Main issue was the tap controller for shower, it sticks out so far and you have to stand right underneath the shower head. There is not room to move without knocking the controller which kept moving and was boiling hot there did not seem to be a regulator on it. If my friend had wanted a shower she couldn’t as she would not fit between the controller and the screen. The controller should be at the end of the bath. There should be a max temperature set on the thermostat so save burns especially in children. The screen needs a new seal at the bottom. We were 3 friends staying as went to Leeds castle concert. Had a lovely time.loved the town and will be back but only after checking the shower first.

Great time

Last minute stay - great staff - lovely food

Very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely room and good food. We had no complaints and we would happily stay there again.

We felt very welcome with our dog and would love to come back.

Friendly welcome and hospitable. Checked in early with no issues and staff very happy to help
