Nice stay

Old pub with rooms. Our room was on the second floor and was very hot. There was a fan but it was just moving the air around, obviously not the sort of building you can instal aircon. Decor was a bit mismatched but bed was comfortable and room was clean. Bottles of UHT milk are nice as you get more but the heat did not do them any favours. Breakfast costs extra and we had it on first morning, it was acceptable, the bacon was the best item.

Very old fashioned pub which I liked with a decent choice of beverages. The man who helped us check in and later serve us drinks was very helpful, polite and present. However I didn’t like or understand having to leave my card details and effectively a deposit for items that had been made available in the room. If you don’t trust people just don’t have them available. The other issue was the floor in the room which was very unsteady and the hotel and hotels.com should really add that somewhere when people are choosing. Whilst it was ok for us it definitely would not have been for others.

Staff was VERY helpful. There was a problem with the reservation through Expedia, only one bed in out room rather than two. They ended up giving us a second room free of charge. Really accommodating. Also free parking!

It was a lovely - period dated pub with wood beams. The facilities were excellent and the hosts were fantastic I used this for a visit to the nearby vineyard. Its directly on the high street with its own car park. There are many shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes on the high street, and the steam train station is just off the high street

Could be great

Everything was ok but it could have been so much better with a bit more attention to detail. Breakfast service is less than slick but when it comes, it’s great. The rooms are showing signs of wear and tear eg flaking pain in the bathroom ceiling, coffee stains on the dressing table. Checking out was a nightmare.

Centre of Tenterden

The stay was ok, it served its purpose. Most of the staff were excellent. I understand that it is an old building but the uneven floors are terrible, with a step just as you open the door to the room, unbelievable.

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
