didn't have breakfast, but evening menu was extensive, varied & v good
V old property so difficult to rate against a modern place, but we'd happily return
Lovely twin room lots of character and everything we needed. Staff helpful and pleasant. Car parking easy. Only disappointment was evening meal which wasn’t to our taste.
Brilliant stay. Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful Christmas decorations, felt very festive. The room was comfortable with lots of personal touches. Very old building so a few squeaky floorboards to be expected. Great gluten free options. We will be back. Merry Christmas.

Enjoyable time in Tenterden
Excellent location, friendly staff. Comfy room spacious and a good shower. A few issues with the heating being noisy and on throughout the night also unable to open front window
Perfect ‘treat’ break … lovely pub/hotel. The weather was superb too! Room was everything we would put on a wish list (it was a great price on our budget so didn’t get church tower & high st views) but everything so easily walkable. Lots cafes restaurants but chose hotel as vg menu choice on a Sunday night! Thanks to all staff who were extremely accommodating & friendly. We will def visit again.
The hotel rooms are above a very nice pub but still quiet in the evenings, I stayed weekdays so maybe that was why. room was very cosy without being small, plenty of space for bags etc, great tea and coffee selection too. would be more than happy to stay here again. The only point was they could not see I had paid when I arrived so had to pay again, they did however refund it the next day when I showed proof of payment.
It was very convenient for chapel down wines where we had arranged a tasting and dinner. Parking was good.
The staff at the hotel were great.
We ate lunch there one day and dinner one night the food was very good and reasonable.
The cooked breakfast was excellent. My only criticism was the coffee there was only filter coffee available.
Excellent service and accommodation. The bar/restaurant food and drink was exceptional along with the superb service.

Lovely pub/hotel with good food i a great location
Lovely pub/hotel in a great location. We had an excellent Sunday roast .The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. My only criticism is that it needs a lick of paint here and there.
It was a lovely - period dated pub with wood beams. The facilities were excellent and the hosts were fantastic I used this for a visit to the nearby vineyard. Its directly on the high street with its own car park. There are many shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes on the high street, and the steam train station is just off the high street
