Really enjoyed our second stay at The Evenhill. Room very clean & comfortable. All the staff were very friendly & helpful. Food was excellent with large choice at reasonable prices & breakfast was just as good as the dinners. Conveniently located for coastal resorts such as Broadstairs & Herne Bay. Recommend The Evenhill for a relaxing break.

The room was a decent size, clean but needs some updating. Bed was extremely comfortable, air-con available if needed, plenty of room for storage. The only thing that let it down was the clientele, we stayed 3 nights, for the first 2 nights English guests were coming back to their rooms until at least 3am, shouting and banging doors, with no consideration for other paying guests. I’m all for having a good time but please be a bit more respectful of others. I hold no blame to the hotel as I realise this is out of their control, but it does probably put me off of booking here again, which is a shame as it’s a good location, breakfast very good and staff very friendly and attentive..

We spent a week at The Evenhill as it was in an ideal location to tour around Kent. The room was clean, spacious, lovely white fluffy towels and was in a nice setting. Good choice of food and plentiful. The staff were pleasant and welcoming The bus stop outside was handy to get around various towns. We would recommend staying at this hotel.

Adequate and functional

Reasonable for the area and price. Clean. Comfy beds. Perfectly OK for a functional stay. Old barn property but the interior had none of the charm of the exterior. One of our rooms had a really tricky door mechanism. Either no WiFi or code not given. Host seemed to be working really hard with little support. For example, being a small property, the breakfasts were cooked to order, and ours took an hour to arrive (excellent food but very small portions e.g. one sausage, one hash brown, one tablespoon of beans ...).
