Pros:

We didn't have breakfast because we remembered that it was not nice the last time I stayed

Highly recommended. Accommodation, Staff & food brill. Great value for money.
Pros:

Great welcome as soon as we walked in. Staff were fantastic especially Fran & her apprentice lol.
Great atmosphere in the bar, cracking food at sensible prices.
Warm room, proper hot shower & comfy bed.
Absolutely recommended & will definitely stay again.

Cons:

The only feedback I could offer is to get the hoover under the bed occasionally. Certainly not a moan as it was such a great stay so hope comment not taken negatively as that’s certainly not the intention.

Perfect
Pros:

We arrived in our 3.5 ton horsebox it was easy to park and secure in the car park. From the minute we arrived nothing was any trouble, fantastic staff, great room, bedding, towels, tea and coffee plenty of and the bonus steak and Stilton pie for dinner and sausage and mash were really nice. Thankyou and we will be back when we next go to Addington 🐎

Cons:

Nothing

A unique, character-filled stay with a warm atmosphere and a true sense of history.
Pros:

I really loved the character of this place — it genuinely feels like history is still alive in the walls. The old furniture and little details, like the traditional shoe polish kit and even the trouser press, made it feel unique and authentic rather than just another hotel. Breakfast was lovely, and the coffee was surprisingly very good (and I’m quite picky with coffee!). The pub downstairs had a great atmosphere in the evening — busy, cosy, with a real small-town feel. The pies were honestly some of the best I’ve had, and you can see why, with all the awards displayed on the walls.

Cons:

Nothing really stood out as a negative for me. I’ve seen some comments about the hotel needing refurbishment, but personally I don’t agree — for me, the charm is exactly in its authenticity and history, and that’s something worth preserving.
