Fairly good, a bit out of the way but very reasonably priced. Kitchen wasn't serving, unfortunately, which is too bad.

Value for money, convient location close to motorway links but still quiet and pleasant stay, the bed mattress was a little hard for me which was only issue.

Easy to find and comfortable.

A very convenient place to stay near Maidstone. Easy to find. My later arrival was easily accommodated and the stay was quiet and comfortable. A comfortable bed and a good shower highlighted my stay. Car parking is close and plentiful. Basic stay with NO breakfast but a food menu is available for the evening meal.

Comfortable bed, friendly staff, lovely pub. Some background traffic noise as near to a major road. Liquid soap and shower gel provided but why no small bar of soap for washing your hands.

Had to leave the key for the room in the door, as the main building was locked up when I left. Not a big drama though

Twin Ensuite room

Had a nice night's stay in a twin bedroom ensuite. Very clean with decent furniture and towels. The ensuite could do with a bit of attention; the temperature control for the shower needs loosening off as it was very hard to change the very hot setting it was stuck on (Scalding). The extractor fan didn't work either. Could do with a fan when the weather is hot as room got very stuffy and hot during the night. Overall a very pleasant stay.

OK

Staff were helpful & friendly. Rooms were at the back of the pub in a converted out building. Small, nicely decorated, bed comfortable but they must have a damp problem. The rooms really smell damp. Which is a shame as they were reasonably priced.
