Grain
It was an interesting drive, a bit like a science fiction film. I could see there was something massive and well lit up in the distance. Eventually I found Grain, a village in the middle of nowhere. I found a fish & chip shop. The lodge was quite and nice and I slept well.

Although the property needs some renovating and a bit of paint in places it was VERY clean. Nice welcome. Very quiet - not just the area but the property was as well. Would have been nice to have a served breakfast even if just continental. Bed was good. Parking easy. A good base to visit the area.

Basic but comfortable, everything worked fine. Nice quiet area with shop and takeaways close by. We wanted a place far away from the city and this was just right with long walks in and around the area. For those looking for a luxury stay and nightlife this is not for you.

A good, traditional guest house.
This is a good old-fashioned guest house near the sea. Comfy bed, clean bathrooms. Really good value for money. The house is tucked away behind the local library, but the owners sent a text message before the start of my trip, explaining how's to find the place.

Where not to stay.
The pictures of this place are misleading. The rooms are tiny, dank and smell as if the windows hadn't been open for sometime. I declined to stay and left immediately to find a Travelodge. Very disappointed and regret pre-paying for this facility. I honestly feel the host should refund my money!!

I was going to give a negative rating so that no-one else would find this absolute gem of a place, but that would have been unfair and selfish. This is by far the best place I have stayed for years. Henry and Heidi were the perfect hosts and couldn't do enough for us. Thank you so much. The only downside (which we knew before we booked) is that it's on the Isle of Grain, but the road is much safer now than it was and most of it is dual carriageway so you're only about 15/20 minutes from civilization! We will definitely aim to return

This guest house is a little gem. The rooms are spacious and clean and the breakfast was great. The hosts are very friendly and it has a lovely homely feel to the place. I would would really recommend it and will definitely be back.

A very quiet location, and the property is run by two lovely people who do their utmost to make you welcome. Some areas show their age but it looks like a work in progress and they are upgrading rooms as and when they can. Recommended .

Very welcoming hosts
Before my check in time I got email from host with direction to The Lodge, which was very useful, as it is quite hard to find. Very nice, quiet area. Very welcoming and nice couple, running family business. I came during maintenance work, but they have been very helpful and made sure I feel comfortable. Clean and spacious room and bathroom, good wifi. Nice breakfast. Worth the price.

The Lodge Grain UK
The owners of The Lodge are so welcoming and offer wonderful service. The accommodations are basic...don't expect anything but the most simple rooms. We stayed in Room 3 on the ground floor which proved to be a bit noisy because it is literally right next to the breakfast room. Breakfast was full English and quite generous. There is a microwave in the breakfast room and a fridge in the room so you could probably bring food for other meals. Parking is available.

Cheap but not “Fabulous”.
The “fabulous” rating swayed my decision to stay here. It’s fine if you want somewhere cheap for one night if you’re working locally (as I was) but if I go again I will probably stay in Rochester. The place was very basic and a bit drab and dated / jaded. The owner/manager was very friendly and very helpful though. Great for a cheap stay.
