Enjoyable stay.

The hotel staff and housekeeping were very helpful and friendly. The restaurant had a good menu and was excellent value. Room was comfortable and good Internet access. No cooked breakfast, but cereals and yoghurts/biscuits supplied in room, not in Restaurant. No shops in vicinity, but easy access to other places of interest and motorways.

Ideal and good value for a stop over en route.

Our satnav found it a little difficult to locate, but once there the welcome was good, and the room and facilities exceeded our expectations. Food and drink a little pricey, but this is the South East, so we expected it.

Great place to stay

One night transit stay. The room was clean. The in room breakfast was very good with plenty of choice in cereal & milk, yoghurt, fruit juice, grain bar and apples. All for a very good price of £50 per room.

Overnight stop

Very friendly staff and a lovely clean room. And the food in the bar was just fine. Everything I needed for an overnight stay before getting the Eurotunnel the following morning.

Always a wonderful stay at this lovely place. Clean and comfortable room/bed. Delicious selection of continental breakfast in your room, fridge to keep milk and juice fresh. Breakfast items topped up daily. The food and service in the pub is exemplary. The manager is an excellent host who clearly works very hard. We love staying here and can't recommend it highly enough. It's a stones throw from the railway station so easy access into central London too.

A lovely room, well appointed

We arrived shattered, checked in easily with a lovely member of staff and was shown to our room. My fault entirely, in my haste to book I didn't pick up the room was located at the back of the pub - there was a fair amount of noise until gone 11pm (Saturday) - wouldn't normally be an issue but with an early start that day and the following day it wasn't ideal. Breakfast choices were left in the room (cereals, porridge, yoghurt, granola bar, fruit and orange juice) which was perfectly fine and appreciated. There were a couple of marks on the bedding - clearly something like black ink, nothing suspicious and for me the bed was a bit too soft (we all have different tastes). The room (1) had everything needed, also windows on two sides and a great fan to counter the heat. Would we stay again - yes, if we were not reliant on sleep and an early start.

The pub and room are really nice with helpful and friendly staff. The only downside was that they decided to start doing some very noisy work at 4am right outside our window. No idea why they thought that was an appropriate time, but there you go. Other than that, enjoyed our stay.

Lovely room but not in a heatwave

Unfortunately it was really hot weather when we stayed here, and our room was next to the road so the traffic noise combined with the noise of the fan and the heat made it virtually impossible to sleep. In cooler conditions it would be great.

Uncomfortable stay

Two electric heaters in the room, only one working. It was -2°c overnight and the duvet was around 20mm thick and no extra blankets. Extremely cold until around 3am, then the room was boiling. Food service stopped at 6pm. I checked in at 6:10pm and all i was offered was a ceasar salad.

Clean hotel room separate from the pub. It was a cheap price and comfortable with everything that you could need with a full sized kettle and TV. It was a little dusty in some places and I got the feeling it hadn’t been stayed in a little while. Continental breakfast was good and enough to have something you liked. Overall would stay again.
