Clean room
It was a clean room with breakfast already there ready for the morning. The staff were really helpful. However be aware to check that the heated towel rail is set as it only came on overnight, and you'll need to ask for a hairdryer.

The second time that I have stayed here and it doesn't disappoint. A good value place with the added bonus of being able to get a decent meal at the pub without having to travel.

Enjoyable stay.
The hotel staff and housekeeping were very helpful and friendly. The restaurant had a good menu and was excellent value. Room was comfortable and good Internet access. No cooked breakfast, but cereals and yoghurts/biscuits supplied in room, not in Restaurant. No shops in vicinity, but easy access to other places of interest and motorways.

Lovely room but not in a heatwave
Unfortunately it was really hot weather when we stayed here, and our room was next to the road so the traffic noise combined with the noise of the fan and the heat made it virtually impossible to sleep. In cooler conditions it would be great.

Very cool old English pub, tucked away in a quiet little hamlet. Rooms are in a converted stables, while not large are well appointed. Was a great place to rest up after a long flight.

Ideal and good value for a stop over en route.
Our satnav found it a little difficult to locate, but once there the welcome was good, and the room and facilities exceeded our expectations. Food and drink a little pricey, but this is the South East, so we expected it.

Overnight stop
Very friendly staff and a lovely clean room. And the food in the bar was just fine. Everything I needed for an overnight stay before getting the Eurotunnel the following morning.

Wonderful little pub, very friendly manager who showed us to and around our rooms, very clean room and plenty to choose from for the free breakfast in the room.
Cosy little pub and great and friendly service there.
Only suggestion (and this is no complaint) is maybe include a pot noodle or two in the room (chicken and mushroom/beef and tomato 😁)
Thanks for the lovely stay!

Great self contained room with a fridge and breakfast left in the room, cereals, yoghurt etc.
Good food in the pub but not the cheapest.

A lovely room, well appointed
We arrived shattered, checked in easily with a lovely member of staff and was shown to our room. My fault entirely, in my haste to book I didn't pick up the room was located at the back of the pub - there was a fair amount of noise until gone 11pm (Saturday) - wouldn't normally be an issue but with an early start that day and the following day it wasn't ideal. Breakfast choices were left in the room (cereals, porridge, yoghurt, granola bar, fruit and orange juice) which was perfectly fine and appreciated. There were a couple of marks on the bedding - clearly something like black ink, nothing suspicious and for me the bed was a bit too soft (we all have different tastes). The room (1) had everything needed, also windows on two sides and a great fan to counter the heat. Would we stay again - yes, if we were not reliant on sleep and an early start.
