Very good, the large rooms are cabins in the grounds of the pub. Very quiet, plenty of parking and EV charging. Good food in the pub restaurant, but we didn't have breakfast as heading to Le Shuttle. Staff friendly and efficient. Room clean and dog friendly.

Cozy, great atmosphere

What a find. This is a place in the country and only 10 min from Leeds Castle. The pub atmosphere is we loving and traditional - what you would hope for and expect of a pub. Cozy, updated menu with vegan options. The rooms are in a separate annex. Quiet, modern but cute and stylish in the room I was in. All that’s needed. I’d recommend this place any day.

A fabulous Kentish gem.

What a fantastic friendly hotel. We had a lovely spacious room with great facilities. Every member of staff we met were courteous, friendly and helpful. The food is absolutely delicious and sourced locally. We can not recommend this hotel highly enough.
