Everything about our stay was excellent. It’s situated on a quiet country lane but very accessible to the M20. The chalet accommodation was immaculate, cosy and dog friendly. The inn is very characterful and quirky and the food was comparable to restaurant food with specials to suit anyone. In terms of value for money we could not ask for more. The owner, John is so friendly. It’s so well placed for an overnight stay on the way to the tunnel. We will definitely book here again. Wonderful!

We've stayed here several times before and this visit didn't disappoint. Lovely staff, comfortable and clean room. Lovely and quiet location. We were meeting friends for a special birthday celebration at the pub so it was lovely knowing we didn't have far to go at the end of the evening.
