9/10 for most (1/10 for rubbish noise all night)
The greeting was great, the room size was perfect, kids beds were spot on. The only issue was that there was an adjacent (behind our beds head) room which had some sort of generator or mechanical room that was churning out noise the whole night. It had a constant hum and every hour or so load screeching noises that basically kept my wife and me from sleeping. The kids on the other side of the room didn’t wake which I guess was a bonus.

Hotel was great, dog friendly etc
The hotel was great, nice chalet, ideal for the dog, restaurant was a bit overpriced and the mains were average, we would stay again but probably eat elsewhere.

Welcoming Hotel
Called in advance as we were travelling from the North East England , so not landing until after 10pm , no problems will leave door open & keys in your room , which is basically a chalet type room , needed a hotel that accommodates Dogs , as we have Two , nice dog friendly facilities, great little doggy pack when you arrive - with blankets etc great touch ! The hotel was lovely , very welcoming & the staff super helpful & nice , you can tell they all enjoy working in the inn - great breakfast & we decided to stop another night ! Food in the restaurant is high end & reasonably priced - overall I would highly recommend

The pub itself was like walking back in time, beautifully restored and full of character with so many nooks to relax in. We loved it and wished we had a local like this one. Owner and staff were extremely friendly and obliging. The room was clean and comfortable and suited our needs to a T. Thank you all.

Everything about our stay was excellent. It’s situated on a quiet country lane but very accessible to the M20. The chalet accommodation was immaculate, cosy and dog friendly. The inn is very characterful and quirky and the food was comparable to restaurant food with specials to suit anyone. In terms of value for money we could not ask for more. The owner, John is so friendly. It’s so well placed for an overnight stay on the way to the tunnel. We will definitely book here again. Wonderful!

We've stayed here several times before and this visit didn't disappoint. Lovely staff, comfortable and clean room. Lovely and quiet location. We were meeting friends for a special birthday celebration at the pub so it was lovely knowing we didn't have far to go at the end of the evening.
