A fantastic stay. Rooms just perfect. Lovely touch with the coffee machine and the fridge in the pantry with fresh milk and additional bottled water. Breakfast was excellent and far far beyond anything that you would expect at a pub type of stay. Location was quiet and a great base to explore Kent and the coastline. Staff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. Full marks for the Duke William’👏👏

This is about as good as it gets for a pub with rooms. I’ve marked some aspects as good, but they should very good, and some aspects as excellent, which also should be very good. Unfortunately the booking site doesn’t give “very good” as an option. Only things preventing an all round excellent review are; pub noise from downstairs (didn’t bother me, but will bother some people) and breakfast too late for me (again, won’t bother some people). The staff provide a picnic basket with cereals and pastries for early leavers.
