Lovely character-full old property. Very comfortable beds and good facilities. Excellent staff. High quality chef-prepared food. Friendly people. Only small gripe is the ales were Shepherd Neame - I prefer a range of real ales. (Good pint of Timothy Taylor Landlord London Pride in the neighbouring pub though.)

An absolute gem of a pub. The room was tastefully decorated with lots of extra little touches, like tea lights in the bathroom. The bed was comfortable and the claw foot bath was gorgeous, with toiletries provided and piping hot water. Perhaps a flannel to wash with would be good and the bottom of our mugs were tea stained which was a bit off-putting but that’s all I’d be picky about. The pub is very atmospheric, obviously loved by the locals as it was packed, and the staff were polite and welcoming even though they were very busy. Having on site parking was a big plus. We’ll definitely be back - loved it.

The Castle Hotel was easy to find and check was fine. Had dinner in the bar area and the food was really great. The room was large and had all that was required for an overnight stay. However, in the morning I found that there was not hot water. Very disappointing…

The Castle Hotel Eynsford kent A best kept secret

It was a lovely stay , and the room was cosy with great service and brilliant staff. The Castle Hotel is the perfect village location but close to local Amenities and short distance from major route link's. All the room's are upstairs, Clean, tidy and very modern victorian in design. We loved it and the included breakfast too

Ideally located for those looking to visit Brands Hatch. Located only about 15 mins from South London which makes travel very easy. Friendly and accommodating staff, highly recommend. Room was warm and the stock of hot drinks was excellent.

A beautiful bespoke hotel!

This hotel is a real gem. A really bespoke feeling with excellent customer service and a homely feel. I booked the small room which was perfect for my needs as a solo traveller and I loved the fireplace in the bathroom! Breakfast was lovely and the bar/restaurant is a fine example of an English pub. The chef was also able to handle my difficult dietaries. Highly recommend this place, also in a really beautiful location and an easy trip from London for a weekend in the country. Thank you.
