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.

The stay was ok, it served its purpose. Most of the staff were excellent. I understand that it is an old building but the uneven floors are terrible, with a step just as you open the door to the room, unbelievable.

Everything was ok but it could have been so much better with a bit more attention to detail. Breakfast service is less than slick but when it comes, it’s great. The rooms are showing signs of wear and tear eg flaking pain in the bathroom ceiling, coffee stains on the dressing table. Checking out was a nightmare.

lovely style older property in the high street
Great location and has parking at the back
Beds were slightly hard and the shower was in the bath
We didn’t use it as the ceilings were very low and felt too small for us both Im only 5”4 but could have touched the ceiling if i was having a shower so a bit too confined for us
Im guessing all the rooms are different so if we stayed here again we would ask for a free standing shower if possible and also if there was any softer mattresses
Staff were very friendly and check in was quick
Breakfast was very good and i would definitely stay here again

Greeted with a very warm welcome by Hannah.
Lovely deluxe room. View over town and garden.
Tea coffee etc facilities were excellent with a little treat of Tiffin too.
Only constructive criticism would be to provide better quality toilet roll!

Nice oldie worldie pub with rooms. Beautiful open beams and vintage style soft glow lighting add to a relaxed atmosphere. The room was a great size clean and comfortable.

Great hotel with a great pub, ideal location for a trip to chapel down winery. Great little town too, helpful staff when an extension was required for one of the rooms. Breakfast was delicious just a little confusing with regards to prices and choices. Overall great stay would recommend and stay again.

Beautiful building, well decorated room and excellent breakfast.
Staff were very friendly and professional, welcoming at all times and the room, bar and restaurant are beautifully decorated.
Room amenities were excellent, just a shame we didn’t discover the brownies until it was too late!

A great location in the centre of Tenterden. Parking at the rear of the property included in the cost of you’re a resident in the hotel.
We had a very pleasant airy and comfortable room.
Certainly worth another visit in the future.

We had a pleasant stay. The staff were very friendly and the bar and restaurant area very nice. Our room was tired and needed a good lick of paint. The room was hot and stuffy and the sash window was broken and wouldn’t stay open which was annoying. We would go here again to use the bar and restaurant but would not stay overnight as there are better accommodations nearby.
