Pros:

Wir kommen immer wieder gerne. Die Lage ist einfach super mit nur 20 Minuten Entfernung bis zum Euro Shuttle. Dabei ist man im Grünen, kann schöne Spaziergänge machen. Es ist ein gemütlicher obiger alter Pub. Die Zimmer sind sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet.

Cons:

Unser Zimmer war zwar sehr schön, ging aber zur Straße raus, was es nachts sehr laut gemacht hat. Ich finde das Hotel ein wenig teuer.

Comfortable gastropub in a pretty village
Pros:

We arrived in a heat wave and the room was cool (and had AC which we didn’t need but was good to see). The food in the restaurant was good. The team were welcoming and helpful. Location was convenient for our exploration of East Kent.

Cons:

The shower/bath/washbasins in the bedroom meant you can’t get any privacy. Pillows were a bit hard.

Not our first visit and it will not be our last!
Pros:

Comfortable room, good evening meal and excellent breakfast

Cons:

Perhaps the lack of light to Nailbourne room and the silly attitude towards a query over a misdescribed pavlova

Authentisches Hotel und Pub
Pros:

Auf unserem letzten Halt vor der Fähre nach Calais haben wir hier übernachtet. Schade, dass wir nicht länger bleiben konnten. Das Zimmer war klein aber sehr gemütlich, sauber und ausreichend. Das Essen hervorragend, die Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich. Alles sehr authentisch und zum Wohlfühlen. Sehr empfehlenswert.
