We had a lovely stay here and the breakfast was so nice. Lovely property the only two things I would say is there was plenty of room for a king sized bed at least so a double was a little small. And air conditioning would of been amazing especially when it is very hot outside one tiny small fan done nothing but that aside we were very happy with the hotel

A fabulous hotel in the heart of Tunbridge Wells - our room was huge and beautifully decorated. Parking on site was a bonus. We didn’t have a chance to visit the bar or restaurant but it smelt and looked amazing! We’ll be back!
