Review

The hotel was amazing it was clean and comfy, I only stayed for 1 night, the only problem with my room was there was no where to sit and work other then on the bed, a corner desk would fix that when I had a shower and turned the heat up there was no real way to turn it down and they didn’t do food other then pizza but there is a place to eat 5 minutes walk, the staff was amazingly friendly the room was clean the bed was comfy

Fairly good, a bit out of the way but very reasonably priced. Kitchen wasn't serving, unfortunately, which is too bad.

Value for money, convient location close to motorway links but still quiet and pleasant stay, the bed mattress was a little hard for me which was only issue.

It was a comfortable 2 night stay. A better menu would have made for an excellent stay.

8/10 Very good

Lovely accommodation, comfy and spacious with everything required. Beds great. Within feet of very busy road so expect road noise inside and out.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had to book at the last minute due to an emergency family vist in the area,Tracey who greeted us on a late arrival was very friendly and went out of her way to get us some food as the kitchen was closed when we arrived,it was much appreciated.lovely grounds to sit in on the outside and in.we had a dinner the next evening at Mickys dinner just 10 min up the road wich was recommended to us,nice friendly staff and nice food.

Lovely place

Me and my wife and 2 grandchildren stayed in the house it was clean and looked good the only problem was there was no sponges or dish cloths to wash dishes but we enjoyed our stay
LESLIE, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Easy to find and comfortable.

A very convenient place to stay near Maidstone. Easy to find. My later arrival was easily accommodated and the stay was quiet and comfortable. A comfortable bed and a good shower highlighted my stay. Car parking is close and plentiful. Basic stay with NO breakfast but a food menu is available for the evening meal.
Neil, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice place, need a proper out-of-hours contact

The accommodation itself couldn't be faulted. Friendly staff, fresh towels daily, all very nice. I would however strongly recommend an out-of-hours point of contact in the event of getting locked out of the room. In fairness, it's entirely my own fault that I locked myself out to begin with (won't be forgetting that mistake in a hurry). But if it wasn't for an upstairs tenant being able to get hold of the correct person to let me back in, I would've had no choice but to try to sleep outside. It's no good listing the pub's number for contact at a time when nobody's available to answer, and this did sour my last night's stay somewhat. I was very apologetic to Tracey about the disturbance, & had forewarned her about the messages I'd left on the phone before leaving (I hope they were not deemed as anything untoward).
Matthew, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable bed, friendly staff, lovely pub. Some background traffic noise as near to a major road. Liquid soap and shower gel provided but why no small bar of soap for washing your hands.
David, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Had to leave the key for the room in the door, as the main building was locked up when I left. Not a big drama though
Steve, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Twin Ensuite room

Had a nice night's stay in a twin bedroom ensuite. Very clean with decent furniture and towels. The ensuite could do with a bit of attention; the temperature control for the shower needs loosening off as it was very hard to change the very hot setting it was stuck on (Scalding). The extractor fan didn't work either. Could do with a fan when the weather is hot as room got very stuffy and hot during the night. Overall a very pleasant stay.
Garry, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

OK

Staff were helpful & friendly. Rooms were at the back of the pub in a converted out building. Small, nicely decorated, bed comfortable but they must have a damp problem. The rooms really smell damp. Which is a shame as they were reasonably priced.
Tracey, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Would probably stay again

Clean enough for us but not hotel standard. Small room so the slanted roof did make getting in bed slightly difficult. Towels, bedding, shampoo, shower gel and tea/coffee supplied. Staff were friendly. It is quiet loud in the evening with people outside and with traffic in the morning. They do not do breakfast despite it stating that they do on their website, inconvenient but we found a diner nearby. Large car park but was very full, we had to park elsewhere until pub was almost closing.
Leanne, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Lower Bell

When the booking was made there was no indication on the website, that the pub didnt serve food apart from a basic pizza, or that the main road noise was constant throughout the night. It was really disappointing, but at least the room was comfortable.
