The hotel is currently being run by a stand in family, previously from the hotel/pub industry. Extremely friendly and welcoming as well as pet friendly, I can recommend it to anyone. The hotel is ideally situated for Channel Tunnel visitors which is only a 10min drive away.

A lovely location, very pleasant and friendly staff. The rooms are not fancy but neither is the price. The bed and pillows were very comfy although ironed bedding and a valance sheet would have improved the look. Very good value for money.

Very tired, needs some tlc

The hotel is very tired, it needs a lick of paint everywhere. All of the staff kept saying how busy they were but the hotel didn't look busy at all. The beds were uncomfortable, the shower is tiny and the bed for my daughter had no headboard. We were asked if we wanted breakfast, I said I don't know yet and I was told that I needed to make a decision straight away.

A poor start to our holiday

I need to start with the fact that the property has only been taken over in the past week but they did said they had managed to clean the room Arriving at 6.30pm we were told that there was no kitchen service, no chef and they could get us a continental style breakfast in the morning if we chose. Asking about eating that evening they said most places closed at 4,5 and 6 on a Sunday and didn’t recommend anywhere to try Taken to the room via creaky and dusty corridors we entered our family room with en suite macerator plumbing The room had spiders in the corners, un ironed bedding, fusty towels, some of the ceiling hanging down and cobwebs on the wall ( the bed was very comfy) At 5am the room began to leak and dripped for 1 hour leaving a big water mark No- one could flush the toilet in the night as it made such a loud and long noise In the morning we tried to find someone to tell but only the cleaner could be found and she said she would tell the manager When we arrived they took our £110 payment and must have known some of these issues We wish the new owners well with their renovations but they should not have opened this early or if so, adjusted the price accordingly and thought of solutions to offer to solve guests problems ( they did say we could order a takeaway!) We will not be staying again or recommending it to anyone else - Sorry

A super two day break away.

This small hotel is clean and friendly. The food is all freshly prepared and cooked for each order. It was very tasty and well presented. Owners and staff are friendly and welcoming. They also welcome, for a small charge, well behaved dogs which is great if you own a pet that you cannot leave at home with someone else. Our little dog loved the area and there was a nice walk close by.

A two night stay away. The room was a nice size. The carpark is shared with village, so the first night we had to park on the road. The checking in times are strict, as the bar/ pub closes.

Night away

We stayed here as we had a reservation at hide and fox resturant, perfect location as its almost opposite! Owners lovely, room was comfortable and clean, although a little dated and small. We only had a pre dinner drink in the pub so cant comment on the food as we opted to have brunch down in hythe the following morning. Room had tv with various channels, tea and coffee facilities, also shower gel and shampoo was provided in the shower room
