Full disclosure we had a family event 10 minutes away and wanted to watch the rugby in advance of this. Called the night before and were told no problem. What stood out was what a friendly and welcoming place to visit. Owner/Manager and staff were great and we’d definitely revisit as we have family in the area. Thanks to all

Our daughter arranged a surprise party in the function room, We arrived a bit early and the staff kept us busy and out of the way until she was ready, They then led us to what we thought was our room , only to be surprised by family and friends waiting for us, We had a great time and all the staff could not do enough for us, Mark was brilliant (sorry didn’t get all their names) but they were all brilliant ,even the next morning we were laughing with them at how surprised we were, We had a lovely break the next day, food was hot and tasty , room a bit hot but they did place a fan in our room, Thank you everyone

A welcoming pub hotel, with friendly staff, comfy beds and delicious food. Just the sort of thing we needed after a day walking on the North Downs way from Bearsted. Supper was delicious; particularly the grilled pork chap and the buttermilk breaded chicken. Chips good too.

Having first stayed here about thirty years ago, I have been several times since and never been disappointed. The pub is in the middle of the lovely village and is clearly the centre of the community. The heavily beamed bar was full of locals and people staying. Food excellent, rooms clean, modern and quiet, staff friendly and informative.

We stayed here whilst walking the North Downs Way. The hotel is situated just a short distance from the trail and located in a charming square in Lenham. The room was clean and the beds comfortable. We dined at the hotel restaurant but booking is probably best at busy times

Nice get away Lovely hotel with a fantastic breakfast. Lots of nice touches in the room with drinks choices, and coffee machine. Comfortable bed and although hot in the room as the heating was on full when we got there, there was a fan. Found the shower difficult to control and was also very hot. No major complaints and would definitely stay again.
