The guestrooms in the building behind the brasserie were so quiet and pleasant. Emily served us on both arrival and departure and was helpful many times in between!

Staff lovely ##### S Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Andrew 3 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities This is a good B&B for people who are passing through. It is pretty basic but this is reflected in a very reasonable price. The service was ok but suffered from being understaffed. The young man on the bar was very friendly and gave us some good suggestions for local places to visit. ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Michelle 19 Apr 2025 Spacious family suite for a very reasonable price. The bathroom and bedding was clean. A little dusty in places. Corridors need a good clean and there was a boarded window. Check-in worked well but couldn't get hold of anyone before arriving despite using all channels via booking site, direct telephone number, text etc. Was concerned it didn't actually exist but it worked well for us. ##### Michelle Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Simon 7 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Large spacious room. Good continental breakfast. Thank you to Emily for her assistance. We did have a window in our room that would not close. Also the surrounding outside area around the car park requires some maintaining. ##### Simon Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Jill 21 May 2025 #### Ok for two nights Room was quite big which was great. Had all we needed. The condition was tired and bathroom is in need of an update. Wobbly tap, mildew surround, tiles coming off. Shower pressure was good. Two beds in the room, one mattress was fine, the other you could feel the springs. Dismantled it to add the spare quilt under the sheet for comfort and found stains on the mattress cover. There was a dirty towel left on the back of the door and a coffee cup lid behind the chair-more care needed when cleaning up. No toilet roll left. It was warm, adequate for our needs. ##### Jill Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Neil 29 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Nice stay in a basic budget room The lodge bar and restaurant was closed during my stay and I collected my room key by calling a number then opening a lock box. This was fine and no trouble. The room was basic but clean and tidy with everything I needed, tea, coffee, kettle, milk, soap etc. I was on my own for a one night stay and the location was great with plenty of parking. I travelled by motorcycle so it was to find plenty of things to chain it to. Even with the bar closed there were plenty of places to eat and drink within a short walk and I found some cracking real ale and craft ale pubs with friendly locals. ##### Neil Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Stephen 16 May 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities The room was fine. There was a coffee shop and a restaurant. Neither of these was open at any time during our stay. There was only ever one member of staff on the premises. She was reluctant to be of any help at all. She made a point of telling us to go and eat/drink somewhere else. Won't be staying there again. ##### Stephen Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Stephen 28 Aug 2024 Liked: Staff & service Very good sized room - but definitely the building and surrounding area were very 'tired' looking. When we arrived to be absolutely honest we didn't think it was open. That all said, the location was excellent (we used it as a stop-over travelling down from Scotland to The Midlands) and the staff we spoke to remotely were very friendly and helpful. Although The County Lodge Brasserie wasn't open when we stayed, the Station Hotel (few minutes walk away) was a decent place to eat. Overall, the location was decent value for money (but would be good to see weeds from guttering removed and broken windows repaired, then I think overall it would look far more appealing) ##### Stephen Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Carole 12 Sept 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### You get less for your money Check is is self service key in a key lock which was fine. Lodge had broken/boarded up windows in corridor which wasn’t very welcoming. Room was clean but Curtain hanging off Tie backs for curtains gone showing paint and screw holes so not finished decor Aerial on TV didn’t work. And very noisy early in the morning. Pub itself we never saw it open ( I know it doesn’t say it’s a pub but that’s not clear from some of the pictures shown on site). ##### Carole Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Nichola 6 Oct 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The communication was really poor. I only got an answer from the hotel on the day of arrival. The emails were polite but the in-person customer service was not good or welcoming. The lockbox is faulty and difficult to open, unless you rive it open at the bottom. There is a knack to it. You won’t be able to open it if you have arthritis or hand issues. The general building is dingy. And rundown. One of the windows in the corridor had a wooden panel in. The room we stayed in was one of the better ones, I imagine, but the mattress was extremely soft and old. Do not sleep here if you have a bad back or shoulders. The main room was clean. The sugars for hot drinks were from McDonalds! The bathroom was not cleaned properly. There were bits of dirt and scum on the floor and bath panels. And around fittings and fixtures. The water was hot and plentiful. Toilet rolls and toiletries were included. No towels were provided. We had to ask for them the next day. It is more of a hostel than a hotel. No breakfasts were provided when we stayed. It’s worth no more than £40 per night. I would never stay here again. It wasn’t a good overall experience. ##### Nichola Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Andrea 9 Oct 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Sadly this place has started to look very unloved and shabby. The bar and dining in the main building still looks ok but does need a little tlc. However, the Lodge actually looks like a condemned building! The surroundings are full of weeds and the place in in dire need of some paint and repairs. The bedrooms initially didn't appear to bad, just a little dated..however we soon discovered several things not working including 2 x lights so it was very dingy. We also found out in the morning that the window that opened straight onto the side of the street was actually open slightly and it didn't have a handle to close it! Advised staff politely upon leaving and they were lovely and very apologetic. This places sorely needs to some love, attention and updating if it is to survive. ##### Andrea Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kameron 29 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The family room was great! It was nice and spacious. It would have been nice to have someone at the desk, but everything ran smoothly. ##### Kameron Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Glenn 3 Aug 2025 If you just need somewhere to sleep this place is ok. ##### Glenn Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen 12 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Clean and quiet area, ideal for an overnight stay. ##### Stephen Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Alison 24 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good value for money All good can’t complain and room was fab for what we paid Shame pub not open anymore but didn’t spoil our experience Great base ! ##### Alison Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 12 May 2025 Liked: Room comfort The room is clean and was adequate for the weekend stay ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### peter 6 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities The room itself is large but dated, and only 2 of the 5 lights worked. The lights beed attention from an electrician as one was hanging off the wall and is dangerous. The annex is run down, boarded up windows, blocked drains, overflows running, windows that do not fit etc. Go elsewhere is my advice. Best to find somewhere else. ##### peter Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [The Skipton Hotel - Formerly Hotel Rendezvous](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skipton-Hotels-Hotel-Rendezvous.h41466.Hotel-Information) > - [OYO Shanklin Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shanklin-Hotels-OYO-Shanklin-Beach-Hotel.h7539838.Hotel-Information) > - [Brock Cottage private Hot Tub DOG/Cat FRIENDLY\* with on site fishing](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pickering-Hotels-Spacious-Stone-Cottage-DOG-FRIENDLY.h36805890.Hotel-Information) > - [Crafted at Powdermills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Battle-Hotels-Powdermills-Country-House-Hotel.h195688.Hotel-Information) > - [Bear Lodge - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Bear-Lodge-Aspinall-Foundation.h40101484.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton London Elstree](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Borehamwood-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-London-Elstree.h18549.Hotel-Information) > - [Chimney House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sandbach-Hotels-Chimney-House-Hotel.h527768.Hotel-Information) > - [Hampton by Hilton Canterbury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Canterbury.h66541221.Hotel-Information) > - [Pinewood Camping Pods - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Pinewood-Apinall-Foundation.h40101599.Hotel-Information) > - [Exeter Rougemont hotel by Sunday](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-Exeter-Rougemont-Hotel-By-Sunday.h7784.Hotel-Information) > - [Mermaid, Ipswich by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ipswich-Hotels-Mermaid.h31883430.Hotel-Information) > - [Wild Rose Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Appleby-In-Westmorland-Hotels-Wild-Rose-Caravan-Park.h24459296.Hotel-Information) > - [Sandman Signature Sheffield Quays Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sheffield-Hotels-The-Quays-Hotel-Sheffield.h46197620.Hotel-Information) > - [Crow Wood Hotel & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burnley-Hotels-Crowwood-Hotel-Spa-Resort.h38222710.Hotel-Information) > - [Donnington Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sevenoaks-Hotels-Donnington-Manor-Hotel.h865829.Hotel-Information) > - [Lock Keeper, Worksop by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worksop-Hotels-Lock-Keeper.h27479298.Hotel-Information) > - [Skegness The Royal Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel-Skegness.h23931999.Hotel-Information) > - [The Swan Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wells-Hotels-The-Swan-Hotel.h26791.Hotel-Information) > - [voco Leicester by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leicester-Hotels-Voco-Leicester.h76596043.Hotel-Information) > - [The Stables Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Stables-Whitby.h23322490.Hotel-Information) > - [Soar Mill Cove Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Soar-Mill-Cove-Hotel.h2042032.Hotel-Information) > - [The Aviator, formerly Smugglers Cove, Clacton On Sea by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clacton-On-Sea-Hotels-Smugglers-Cove-By-Marstons-Inns.h35853904.Hotel-Information) > - [Canterbury Bell, Margate by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Broadstairs-Hotels-Canterbury-Bell.h33103125.Hotel-Information) > - [Samsara Retreat and Yoga - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidstone-Hotels-Samsara-Retreat-And-Yoga.h41349775.Hotel-Information) > - [Seven Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southend-On-Sea-Hotels-Seven-Hotel.h19282555.Hotel-Information) > - [Yeoldon House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bideford-Hotels-Yeoldon-House.h2764122.Hotel-Information) > - [Wild Thyme & Honey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-Wild-Thyme-Honey.h9241983.Hotel-Information) > - [Cromer Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cromer-Hotels-Cromer-Country-Club.h1927781.Hotel-Information) > - [Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-Milton-Hotels-Chewton-Glen-Hotel-Spa.h528432.Hotel-Information) ---
