All quirky and quaint. Everyone Friendly and helpfull. Food and choice of beers excellent.
This is the second time weve stayed here and it wont be the last. Food is amazing , staff are freindly and accommodating. The rooms are clean warm and comfortable. This is a little gem and if you havent stayed or eaten here before your really missing out .
Lovely room, good tea/coffee making facilities & supply of fresh bottled milk. Great supply of bathroom toiltries. Staff were extremely friendly & the food was delicious, fresh & cooked to order...top marks to the chef !! One of our best stays, would definitely return to this wonderful pub.
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.
A lovely county pub in a nice setting. 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.
A beautiful country pub with amazing rooms super friendly and helpful staff. Amazing food in pub. Quiet rooms with their own balcony. Stunning setting. Would stay again
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’👏👏
Great off the cuff night away. Everything was brilliant. Couldn’t fault anything about the stay. Food and staff were fantastic. Definitely looking to stay again soon.
Superb experience, staff is lovely, the pub and the rooms are so cozy and welcoming, and the food was soooo good! Excellent dinner and the breakfast was delicious. I loved the amenities it was a great surprise. Expectations were high and they were still exceeded! Also the shower was very good.
