Great inn and accommodation

Lovely historic inn with loads of character. Accommodation is in a newer facility over the other side of the car park - consisting of small cabins - and was very quiet despite only being a few minutes off the M20. Comfortable room, good breakfast. The restaurant / inn is great with really nice, locally sourced produce and a great range of beers.

Amazing place to stay eat and relax.

We are regulars visitors to the Black Horse Inn. But the reason we are is because it’s such a wonderful place to come. It’s a cosy pub with a warm chilled friendly atmosphere. The staff are lovely and do their absolute best to make your visit perfect. The food is always amazing and is sourced locally with some great chef’s special dishes and the rooms are cosy, comfortable and good value. We will be back again very soon.
