Exceptional

I stayed in a Garden view room, in an outside lodge block with own door access and outside seating, safe and secure parking, huge comfortable bed and roomy modern shower. Helpful and friendly staff who engaged in conversation and gave me some great local tips and handy advice for accessing nearby Canterbury. A fabulous country hotel.

Great site let down in the detail

The setting is beautiful and the evening staff were very helpful and friendly. Ample parking very quiet.

Morning service was not good. Untrained junior staff appeared to be left to it by whomever was meant to be in charge. Simple small things like no spoons for the cereals,no decent coffee, not knowing how to raise an invoice,they appeared totally at sea. Such a shame given how nice the venue is.

Unremarkable place so not much to say really

Expensive for what it was, wanted to charge 30 for checking in a hour early. Made a mistake booking and then charged an extra 80 for the 2nd guest. Seems to be run by an absentee owner leaving the young team to it ( who were great but had no Authority ) - No menu at breakfast just offered a full English or veg option , then told we dont serve baked beans. Stay was 249 for 16 hours in an unremarkable room over priced

Nice and comfortable place tucked away in deep Kent countryside.

Nice little place, really tucked away just in from the coast. Very quiet and pretty location. Comfortable room in courtyard. Nice breakfast.

Amazing.

Staff were SO friendly and very patient, professional and gentle as it turned out to be a difficult time for us. I must commend Clint very highly indeed. It's people like him and his authentic and innate understanding of what 'hospitality' means who make good hotels excellent hotels. Thank you very much. I will most definitely recommend your hotel and the gorgeoussssss donkeys across the road.

Red carpet in room 22 could do with replacing or professionally cleaned. Room 7's carpet was spotless.
