Clean and comfortable but expensive
Pros:

Nice and clean. Convenient to Brands Hatch
Lovely village

Cons:

Payed way over the price on Booking.com as we could have saved £50 booking direct with the hotel on the standard/small room we had

Pros:

A beautiful room with a splendid bathroom above a really nice pub. Everything we expected and a little bit more: great food, luxurious room, a really nice time overall.

Cons:

Nothing, but worth noting that you are staying in an older building in rooms above the pub in the centre of a village. We had a great nights sleep, but you might hear a car passing at night.

Dissappointing. Could be a great hotel but needs updating and management focus.
Pros:

Bathroom was modern and clean. Car park always had space. Bar area was well furnished and interesting.

Cons:

Windows had no secondary glazing which vintage hotels like this usually have, so as the hotel is on a busy road it was noisy through the night. Breakfast had no healthy options (no cereals, fruit, nuts etc) primarily fried and Eggs Benedict fine if you want to top up your cholesterol intake but not if you are trying to eat healthily. Decor was looking tired in places. No air conditioning.

Geweldig verblijf in een mooie omgeving, echt een aanrader!
Pros:

Superleuk hotel, gezellig en sfeervol. Fijn terras aan de achterzijde en ruime mooie kamer. Ook de omgeving is een aanrader.

Cons:

Je moet zelf je drankjes aan de bar bestellen en direct betalen. Ook als hotelgast terwijl je eten is geserveerd. Wij vinden de kussens te dik en hard, maar dat is uiteraard persoonlijk.
