Had to leave the key for the room in the door, as the main building was locked up when I left. Not a big drama though

Would probably stay again
Clean enough for us but not hotel standard. Small room so the slanted roof did make getting in bed slightly difficult. Towels, bedding, shampoo, shower gel and tea/coffee supplied. Staff were friendly. It is quiet loud in the evening with people outside and with traffic in the morning. They do not do breakfast despite it stating that they do on their website, inconvenient but we found a diner nearby. Large car park but was very full, we had to park elsewhere until pub was almost closing.

The inn is in the middle of nowhere but the rooms are cozy & the pub is great. Strong wifi signal adds a lot of value as well.

When the booking was made there was no indication on the website, that the pub didnt serve food apart from a basic pizza, or that the main road noise was constant throughout the night. It was really disappointing, but at least the room was comfortable.

Easy to find and comfortable.
A very convenient place to stay near Maidstone. Easy to find. My later arrival was easily accommodated and the stay was quiet and comfortable. A comfortable bed and a good shower highlighted my stay. Car parking is close and plentiful. Basic stay with NO breakfast but a food menu is available for the evening meal.

OK
Staff were helpful & friendly. Rooms were at the back of the pub in a converted out building. Small, nicely decorated, bed comfortable but they must have a damp problem. The rooms really smell damp. Which is a shame as they were reasonably priced.

Comfortable bed, friendly staff, lovely pub. Some background traffic noise as near to a major road. Liquid soap and shower gel provided but why no small bar of soap for washing your hands.

Was ok for a quick stay. People were nice. Smelt damp. Furniture was in strange order. Side light didn’t work. Just needed a deep cleaning.

Perfect for an overnight stay. A glass and soap wouldn't go astray in the bathroom and a spring clean to remove all the cobwebs would help.

Amber was very welcoming with some welcome humour as well. As single rooms go, it was comfortable with everything you need and had a new carpet. The only downside was the plumbing was a bit noisy when other guests were using it. The pub is convenient and the food & drink was very good. Would stay there again.
