Pros:

Charming old house in lovely grounds. Hard-working, multi-tasking staff were very pleasant and helpful.
Restaurant food was good.

Cons:

Nothing I didn't like, but guests should appreciate that it's an old house so some compromises need to be made, notably with decor and water pressure.

Great place for nature lovers
Pros:

The garden was really nice to spend the evening. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Room was very clean and well arranged. Food was good.

Cons:

Lighting in the room and the bathroom was terrible. The small fan provided on a very hot day in summer did not do its job well. Opening the windows didn't help either.

Rustige omgeving, dicht bij Caterbury.

Cons:

Kamer was ruim maar nogal kaal ingericht. Bed was echt slecht en duidelijk aan vervanging toe.

Good Hotel Heading For Le Shuttle
Pros:

Good location, comfortable, nice staff

Cons:

A few rules and regulations to read before having a chance to enjoy the hotel. A list of things you will be charged for before you unpack your bag sets a different tone.
