Food was a bit average. Bedroom windows don't open more than 2cm due to safety cord. ##### LEE-SCOTT Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Julie 25 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness 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 ##### Julie Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### EDI 4 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities All good ##### EDI Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 28 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great stay, really friendly staff ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 30 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highly recommend Very friendly.... excellent food... stayed here before & will be staying again next time in the area. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark 17 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Located in the heart of a lovely village.

Lots of nice touches in the room with drinks choices, and coffee machine. Comfortable bed and although hot in the room as the heating was on full when we got there, there was a fan. Found the shower difficult to control and was also very hot. No major complaints and would definitely stay again. ##### Gary Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 28 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful clean.
