Quirky, pleasant place!
Pros:

Excellent polite staff. Superb breakfast catering for our Keto diets. Beautiful room. Quirky. Outside seating very amusing.

Cons:

Plastic flowers everywhere downstairs. Why not real or silk. We are trying for a plastic free environment.

Breakfast room staff were really nice and friendly.
Pros:

Size of the room, aircon on for arrival and staff in breakfast room

Cons:

No grab handle in bath for getting in and out of shower. Main mirror covered in smears. Bed uncomfortable. No lighting next to desk for putting on make up. In a heatwave having water in reception is great if its filled up, its the little things that matter. No mini fridge in the room

Would I stay again ? No
Pros:

Just up the road from the Lavender fields which was great

Cons:

Value for money ? No !
Tiny room
Breakfast awful
Very expensive drinks
Stayed for Sunday lunch too and we had to rummage around a huge pile of soggy veg to find the meat which was not in existence really
Hugely disappointing stay here

Don’t stay here if you want to sleep or take your shoes off.
Pros:

Location was useful for our journey to the channel tunnel.

Cons:

Very noisy room due to traffic noise from the street. It was warm weather so had to have widows open. Although even shut the noise was too much to get any sleep.
No air conditioning in a very hot room.
Stair, landing and room carpets are worn out and dirty. Didn’t want to walk round the room with out shoes on. Horrible.

Pros:

Sehr gemütliche Zimmer, nettes zuvorkommendes Personal, schöner Biergarten, großer Parkplatz. Das Bier war gut gekühlt und das Essen sehr gut und man hat gemerkt, dass es kein Fertigessen war wie oft üblich in England.

Very nice stay in a good pub/hotel with decent food & friendly, helpful staff
Pros:

Staff are friendly and helpful, rooms are nice and clean. good location for walks and local visits to interesting places, pretty villate

Cons:

Walls of bedrooms a little thin so when next door has tv on - comes through wall. But i guess we all have to be thoughtful about this!¬

CONVENIENT FOR BRANDS HATCH AND QUIET
Pros:

Very comfortable. Incredible restaurant food, be sure to arrive hungry and in time to order your meal. Nice sitting out area. Good car park, but be sure to arrive before the evening drinkers/drivers get parked. Lots of charm inside. This is not a bland white box hotel. Great breakfast cooked to order.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

The location was lovely

Cons:

The property needs updating and the halls and landing are in serious need of refurbishment. Carpets are coming up not laid properly. Maybe the underlay needs redoing. In the bedrooms, the carpet is coming up at the sides.
In serious need of makeover, not worth the money at all
