We had a lovely stay at the inn on the lake hotel, the room was clean and spacious. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was good. The view in our room and the lake area is beautiful. Very good for the price.
Bedroom clean although definitely needs redecoration as does the bathroom as it looks very tired.
We had the Christmas dinner which was just warm,the breakfast was ok but no other milk for allergies so couldn’t have cereals.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The shower head had rust and limescale, the bath had chipped enamel and the grout had mould. The staff were fine but I didn’t feel comfortable with the bathroom and washing myself with a shower head that dirty
Large rooms but very dated especially bath room toilet areas and old type odour. Can’t enjoy lake views during winter as no outside lighting,so when book in after 3pm can’t see anything.

Really dog friendly. Great staff. Spacious rooms. Requested a quiet room as there was an event on the night we were staying and the staff allocated a room right away from the main area - really pleased that they helped us with that request.
Love this hotel stay here often.
There was an event on at the same time as our stay and the disruption was minimal. Just if you stay during a big event my advice is go to breakfast early
Came into Gravesend from London for a friend's funeral. Checked in early without any charge...room was spacious and warm, loved my room as it had the LAKE view, very relaxing. Food (breakfast and lunch) was nicely cooked, fresh and hot. Adequate lighting in room and bathroom. Water temperature was perfect. Beautiful and efficient staff. Thank you 😊 💓. I will be visiting again
