lovely style older property in the high street Great location and has parking at the back Beds were slightly hard and the shower was in the bath We didn’t use it as the ceilings were very low and felt too small for us both Im only 5”4 but could have touched the ceiling if i was having a shower so a bit too confined for us Im guessing all the rooms are different so if we stayed here again we would ask for a free standing shower if possible and also if there was any softer mattresses Staff were very friendly and check in was quick Breakfast was very good and i would definitely stay here again

Lovely pub/hotel in a great location. We had an excellent Sunday roast .The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. My only criticism is that it needs a lick of paint here and there.

Greeted with a very warm welcome by Hannah. Lovely deluxe room. View over town and garden. Tea coffee etc facilities were excellent with a little treat of Tiffin too. Only constructive criticism would be to provide better quality toilet roll!

We had a pleasant stay. The staff were very friendly and the bar and restaurant area very nice. Our room was tired and needed a good lick of paint. The room was hot and stuffy and the sash window was broken and wouldn’t stay open which was annoying. We would go here again to use the bar and restaurant but would not stay overnight as there are better accommodations nearby.

Loved the place but unfortunately there were huge issues with our reservation where one of rooms was given away by mistake and we offered a downgraded room. Although when we asked for refund we were going to get it, it was a disappointing experience and we booked certain rooms for a reason. In the end we were given another room same quality to the detriment of someone else checking in later who would have experienced the same issue as we took their room. Really loved the room though and breakfast was great.

Excellent Hotel!

Great hotel with a great pub, ideal location for a trip to chapel down winery. Great little town too, helpful staff when an extension was required for one of the rooms. Breakfast was delicious just a little confusing with regards to prices and choices. Overall great stay would recommend and stay again.

A great location in the centre of Tenterden. Parking at the rear of the property included in the cost of you’re a resident in the hotel. We had a very pleasant airy and comfortable room. Certainly worth another visit in the future.
