Quite possibly the nicest stay at a B&B in the UK. Room was excellent, clean and well thought out. Bar and restaurant offered an amazing varied menu and breakfast was included, which also had varied options. The staff were always extremely helpful and happy to help. A beautiful old pub in a countryside environment within easy distance of Dover, Deal and Sandwich. 20 out of 10

6/10 Good

Pub closed for function
The actual room is beautiful and we would have been thrilled to stay there on any other weekend but unfortunately on our weekend the pub was closed for a private function. Apparently we were sent an email, I didn’t see this but maybe the rooms shouldn’t be sold if you can’t eat or drink in the pub. The pub is fairly remote and we had to call around local pubs and restaurants and found somewhere to eat about 20 minutes away. We just wanted to chill for the weekend and not drive so it was quite disappointing really
