Summary: Excellent overnight stay prior to getting the Channel Tunnel to France for a holiday. Great location, lovely English pub, good food, great accommodation and lovely staff. Second stay here but will definitely book again if we are going to Europe in the future.

Summary: Super friendly staff who were easy to converse with, the inn was well maintained with vintage roots and a splash off modern. The food was excellent. On the listing it does say they have laundry facilities, but after asking it turns out they don’t. So be aware if that is a need. I would surely go back again if I am in the area!

Summary: One of the top two places I stay at around the whole of the south east of England truly fantastic comfortable amazing food so friendly and welcoming all the time

Summary: Lovely setting..nice comfortable & good sized room. Food was very good, didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment.. My only complaint is the lack of a mirror close enough to a socket so you can dry your hair…most places don’t have one to be honest & as I’m only short I couldn’t see in the bathroom mirror to use that either. I was able to move the mirror on the door but was still 3 feet away from it. Wouldn’t make me not stay again.. The staff were all very good, smiley & efficient.

Summary: Lovely little pub and rooms, food is very good although it's at a price point where you'd expect that. Lots of German and Dutch tourists stopping and a few locals. Not much of a pub vibe as it's all given over to dining but the room were spacious and comfortable.
Ronnie May 19, 2025 05:33:14 PM
Summary: Beautiful quiet property with a pleasant friendly pub. The cabins were clean, modern, and cozy. I will come back again.
Mike May 16, 2025 04:39:19 AM
Summary: Room was small, but comfortable. However, the bath/shower did not have a shower mat - my wife slipped and hurt herself.
