Lovely stay

Always a wonderful stay, clean, fresh room, comfy bed, great shower, TV, lovely continental breakfast in the room, cereals, breakfast bars, fruit, fresh milk, orange juice and yogurts in the fridge, plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits, replenished daily. Lovely staff. Can't fault it!

8/10 Very good

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Great host, nice pub eith brilliant food. Very nice room and shower. Easy access to parking specifically for the rooms. A nice little bolthole if you're travelling through Kent.

Great place to stay

One night transit stay. The room was clean. The in room breakfast was very good with plenty of choice in cereal & milk, yoghurt, fruit juice, grain bar and apples. All for a very good price of £50 per room.

OMG!!! What a hidden gem :) this place is so lovely and fresh. The pub attached is wonderful and staff are super helpful and friendly, we loved our stay and will definitely be booking again

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.
Adrian, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Always a wonderful stay at this lovely place. Clean and comfortable room/bed. Delicious selection of continental breakfast in your room, fridge to keep milk and juice fresh. Breakfast items topped up daily. The food and service in the pub is exemplary. The manager is an excellent host who clearly works very hard. We love staying here and can't recommend it highly enough. It's a stones throw from the railway station so easy access into central London too.

Beware

No food available in the evenings and no cooked breakfast. Will not be staying here again.

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.

Nice clean room in a nice pub, fridge in the room was a nice touch. Designated guest parking. Staff were friendly & helpful, would definitely come back
Jamie, 2-night trip

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.
Andrew, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The pub and room are really nice with helpful and friendly staff. The only downside was that they decided to start doing some very noisy work at 4am right outside our window. No idea why they thought that was an appropriate time, but there you go. Other than that, enjoyed our stay.
Carl, 1-night trip

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.

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.

2/10 Poor

Uncomfortable stay

Two electric heaters in the room, only one working. It was -2°c overnight and the duvet was around 20mm thick and no extra blankets. Extremely cold until around 3am, then the room was boiling. Food service stopped at 6pm. I checked in at 6:10pm and all i was offered was a ceasar salad.

Homely room

Really well equiped room, clean and comfortable. Great shower and handy to have a fridge too.
s, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean hotel room separate from the pub. It was a cheap price and comfortable with everything that you could need with a full sized kettle and TV. It was a little dusty in some places and I got the feeling it hadn’t been stayed in a little while. Continental breakfast was good and enough to have something you liked. Overall would stay again.
