Pros:

Location good. Bed comfortable

Cons:

Did not get the superior room paid for, was given an apparent upgrade which was dirty, bad state of repair and generally unacceptable. Was then offered a standard double room, which at least was cleaner. Would have liked to speak to the manager, but unfortunately she didn't take the time to speak to us.

lovely gem of a hotel - definitely recommended
Pros:

Large, well decorated room and bathroom which was subtly disability friendly along with an enormous and extremely comfortable bed. The radiator was effective and warmed the room nicely. Super reception staff made us feel at home.
Really pleased that our door led straight out onto the grounds and we were in a quiet corner which enabled me to take the dog out for a 4am wee without disturbing anyone. The grounds are lovely with snowdrops and daffodils in abundance.

Cons:

took payment for dog twice!

Hotel tried and living on passed glories
Pros:

Our first room was poor to say the lest. Mould on the ceiling in bath room and dirty. worst nights sleep every had at a hotel. Bed was terrible and noise from other rooms next very loud, the toilet actually tipped over on sitting.
We asked to be move and the second room wasn't much better, dirty and looked like the hotel maintained man had left things half done , two copper pipes sticking out from wall about 12 inch under the make up / dressing table /hair mirror that bruised the wife's leg. Breakfast over priced and would expect a bit more than half a slice of black pudding .get better at weatherspoons.

Perfect base for touring the North Kent area. Idyllic location close to Faversham
Pros:

Lovely rural location yet only five minutes drive from Faversham. Room was clean and comfortable, in one of the chalets.
Breakfast and dinner were excellent. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would stay here again.

Cons:

The flow from the hot water tap was weak. (Cold water was fine)

Extremely enjoyable - it proved to be one of the best small hotels we have stayed in.
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent. Fresh coffee and a wide choice of dishes cooked on the spot. The scrambled eggs and salmon on toast could not have been improved anywhere. The dinner menu was wide and the one time we tried it the food was excellent. It is also a good idea to offer sandwiches in the bar until 8pm and the ones we had on one occasion had lovely fresh bread and copious fillings. My room, 23, though small, was immaculately clean and had everything needed including a very good shower.

Cons:

I could not get Sky News on my television (usually 233) or Drama +1 (60). I did try other numbers but was never successful. It was quite a complicated remote control so it was probably something I was doing wrong.
