This has to be the friendliest pub in England. We felt we belonged to the community 😃. Fantastic service, absolutely delicious food made from local produce and cooked by a very skilled chef. The place was full of character, even down to creaky floorboards. We loved it. ##### Jill Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda 6 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ![The welcome amenities!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/47bf67a0-24a3-4df8-87e2-cc36cac6664b-1751832835114.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Linda Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Miloslava 27 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A Perfect Stay – We Didn’t Want to Leave! My daughter and I stayed at the inn for one night during our trip exploring Kent — and we honestly didn’t want to leave! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the warm, cosy interior of the inn made it feel like a true retreat. Our room had everything we needed and more — from biodegradable shower caps and earplugs (thoughtfully provided, although the noise wasn’t an issue as the pub below closed early) to complimentary still and sparkling water, a small carafe of delicious Rubis chocolate wine, and plenty of coffee pods and tea. Milk and extra supplies were easily available from a pantry in the corridor. The shower was divine — excellent water pressure and plenty of hot water. The room was also stocked with books and games, and we ended our evening with a cosy game of Scrabble before sinking into a bed so comfortable we didn’t want to get up. There’s a lovely beer garden at the back, with beautiful wooden benches, pots of ferns, sheltered and open seating, lit up with fairy lights in the evening. We enjoyed a peaceful stroll around the village and, on the morning of our departure, tucked into a five-star cooked breakfast at the inn — included in the price. We then followed a walking route suggested by the inn manager (maps available at the bar and in the room). If we return to the area in the future, we’ll definitely stay at the inn again. It truly made our trip perfect.

Clean, comfortable rooms with lots of little extras, fresh milk, free water and a little bottle of chocolate port. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The pub itself served good food. Would highly recommend. ##### Caroline Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 24 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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’👏👏 ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/17e81d91-893c-4cc1-a81c-ea5d67469299-1756069522993.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/471ff1fa-5826-4dd8-9bbf-c36e6adf83f6-1756069522290.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marian Elizabeth 5 Jul 2025 Liked: Amenities Charming accomodation with lots of little extras including a complimentary small bottle of chocolate port.

Cleanliness of both room and bathroom excellent with some extras provided in both. Food and menu also excellent. Ideal location to visit Canterbury (Park and Ride close by and very easy) and nearby coast. A lovely stay. ##### Lynette Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Guy 24 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely Pub! Wonderful break in a special pub. We really enjoyed our stay at the Duke William. The host Adam was a superstar and all the staff made our visit very special. The pub itself is the star, such a wonderful ambience, clearly loved by locals. The food is hearty and everything you want from pub grub. Our room was a little on the small side, so we had to squeeze to get around the bed, and it was on the warm side (but better that than being too cold). But lots of lovely little touches to make us feel welcome from the personalised note, to the scrummy chocolate port. The location of the pub made it a great central point to see the area being around 30 mins from Whitstable, Margate and closer still to Canterbury. Would definitely stay again if in the area, but perhaps not in the same room. ##### Guy Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hayley 21 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Mid week treat Had a lovely one night stay, excellent food and service.
