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.

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 😊 💓.

Room tired and cold. Had to get the radiator to work as it wasn’t working. Decor around hotel also tired. Staff all very good and hotel very clean. No drinking water in the room and no fridge. Coffee at breakfast nasty but tea ok. Not the kind of hotel I would recommend for a leisure trip more suitable for workers
