Would definitely recommend the Evenhill to everyone!
Pros:

We loved the full sized towels! My mother, in her 80s, especially appreciated the corner bath which had the shower above it. The room was spotlessly clean. The twin beds were well positioned in a good sized room. We didn't need to use the air con, but booked the Evenhill specifically because it's available in all the rooms. We had the steak for our evening meal and it was perfectly cooked. No room for dessert, but they looked fabulous. Very generous portions. Breakfast set us up well for the day ahead, and the poached eggs were also cooked perfectly. The staff were all very friendly and professional, and kept smiling during some quite trying times.

Cons:

The bathroom door in room 16 could probably use some WD40, but that's a minor issue in an otherwise wonderful stay.

Dobre miejsce na spokojny pobyt.
Pros:

Ciekawy zajazd, w dawnym klimacie przydrożnej karczmy. Cicha i spokojna okolica. Pokój wygodny i czysty, chociaż dość skromny i nieco mało funkcjonalny, podobnie jak wyposażenie. Dobre śniadanie, chociaż brakuje świeżych elementów jak pomidory, ogórki czy ser.

Cons:

Pokoje czyste, ale mało komfortowe. brakuje drobiazgów, które mogły by dopełnić ogólnie dobre wrażanie, jak szafki na kosmetyki, czy chusteczki higieniczne.

Ideal for hot summer getaway1
Pros:

Silent but effective air con in the rooms
A lot of free bottled water and a good sized fridge.
Nice bar meals. I can recommend the ham, egg and chips if you're very hungry.

Cons:

Not the hotel's fault but Kent satnav seems to cut in and out.
All my trips were routed through 'Britain's smallest town', Fordwich. Not smallest based on traffic!

Pros:

Vecchia costruzione affiancata ad un antico pub. La padrona e molto gentile. La struttura e vecchia ma sufficientemente attrezzata in relazione al contesto del vecchio pub. Ottima la posizione per Canterbury

Pros:

Wur kamen sehr spät an, die Küche war schon geschlossen, uns wurde ein super leckeres Sandwich mit Salat und tacos serviert mit einem herrlichen Bier 🍺 auf der Terrasse. Das hat uns nach einem Stau reichen Tag gerettet und wir danken der Wirtin sehr dafür 🥰
Zimmer sind klimatisiert und mit einem kleinen Kühlschrank ausgestattet.

Cons:

Insgesamt sehr altes Haus, aber behindertengerecht und sauber. Sehr harte Betten.

Verouderde accommodatie maar wel schoon en fijn personeel
Pros:

De airco op de kamer en het feit dat het niet direct aan de straat ligt.

Cons:

De accommodatie is sterk verouderd en kan wel een update gebruiken.
