Lovely cabins, great stay!
Pros:

Nice boutique cabin style rooms. There’s about 5 in total. The restaurant is pretty good too, love the Wildshark wine! Some of the staff were really lovely.

We loved it. The staff were particularly friendly.
Pros:

Quirky cabin to the side of the pub. Beautifully decorated and spacious. Comfy bed

Cons:

Curtains needed some attention. The zip for the ones by the front door didn’t work, and the one intending to keep the toilet separate needed some mending.

Fantastic place. If I was exploring in Kent again I would really make the effort to go there.
Pros:

The walk to the iron gate across from the patio of the pub/restaurant.
Opening the iron gate to the 8 rooms/mini-apartments beyond.
Our room was big, open plan, with all facilites you need. Lovely big walk-in shower.
Great tea/coffee facilities.
Nice bed and linen.
Staff in the Potting Shed were friendly and helpful.
Evening meal was very good and we ended up staying for breakfast which was also very good. The raspberry and almond granola with yogurt, berries and honey beat me!

Cons:

NOthing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really great stay, accommodation is highly recommended
Pros:

Such a delightful place to stay - very spacious and comfortable. Staff were really friendly and we ate in the pub which was great.
Really good facilities in the room and tea/coffee selection and lovely biscuits

Cons:

Nothing to dislike, but be aware there is only a curtain to the bathroom and so privacy isn’t ideal there if that’s an issue for you.

Spacious, nice and quiet and comfortable for a night or two. Parking is easy on the premises too.
Pros:

It was very spacious and comfortable, and luckily, nice and quiet too, as it was a Sunday. We really liked having a spacious area with a sofa to sit on and space in the room. Bed was comfortable and welcoming. Bathroom nice and spacious too.

Cons:

Could really do with a small fridge in the room - there is plenty of space for it, plus hooks for the big bathroom towels to hang up. Again, there is the space for that on one wall of the bathroom, and an additional shelf/unit to put toiletteries etc in the bathroom.
The showerhead needed mending, but we used the rainshower part instead, as the other showerhead appeared to be broken, but that is just a maintenance issue I guess had not been seen to on a Sunday.

Everything else was really great!. We will stay again, when we are on some family visit in the area.

Was not informed upfront (when booking for the Sunday), that the kitchen closes at 8pm in the restaurant on a Sunday, and due to long travel, we just turned up at 20.05pm! - so we made do with just crisps at the bar. But never mind....

Pros:

Lovely large rooms in a quiet location. Comfortable with everything required for a night's stay.

Cons:

The hot water was set far too high to the point of scalding. Reported to staff as it either needs looking at or a small notice above the sink.
