Nice place to stay, staff were very helpful.
The room was nice and clean but the bathroom could do with a better clean, dust in the corners but we could live with that.

Good Points - Friendliness of Staff, from Booking In to Cleaning Rooms and Serving Breakfast was 1st Class - Shower Powerful and Hot with No Temperature Fluctuation. Good Full Breakfast - Within Walking distance of various Restaurants and Take-aways. - Fairly Secure Parking - Bad Points - None. - However, we were there during end of October 2023, and Dartford Town Council seem intent on destroying the Town with Road Closures and Delays everywhere - it was a 10 minute drive from Front of Hotel to their Car Park at Rear of Hotel.

The lovely lady at the reception was kind and accommodation our request. We always appreciate good effort and manners. The old pub hotel is really unique and beautiful .You can certainly breed history and atmosphere there. The only bad side is the area but nothing to do with this lovely pub.

Very pleasant and great staff
Great for a weekend stay would come back only comment i would leave is about the shower heads they need to be replaced or de-scaled more often due to the hard water in the area.

Great location. Good food but terrible beer. But there is a Weatherspoons 10 mins walk away so you can deal with that.

Lovely hotel, right on the High Street
The hotel is situated on the high street, central to everything you need. We had air con in our room which was welcome. We ate in the hotel which was very nice and reasonably priced. The room was big and comfortable and very clean. The breakfast was lovey also. I have to mention the cleaner we had because she was lovey and always asked us if we needed anything, she was very attentive. The bar area is lively with plenty of seating available. It wasnt cheap but was worth the money, lovely place, nice food, great staff. Will definitely visit again

We found two bottles left in our room one empty and another one with what looked like mouldy coke just left on the windowsill. The hallway to our room had ripped carpet which was also wet as the roof was leaking! The room itself was okay just noisy until around 11 o’clock at night due to the bar downstairs.

Clean and tidy. Very friendly staff and good food, both evening meal and breakfast. Had poached eggs on toast cooked to order and they had nice runny yolks. Room a little tired but good value including breakfast and parking. Will stay again if I'm in the area. Just be aware that the car park is around the back, do not let your sat nav take you to the front door, you can't park there.
