Easy to find and comfortable.
A very convenient place to stay near Maidstone. Easy to find. My later arrival was easily accommodated and the stay was quiet and comfortable. A comfortable bed and a good shower highlighted my stay. Car parking is close and plentiful. Basic stay with NO breakfast but a food menu is available for the evening meal.

Had to leave the key for the room in the door, as the main building was locked up when I left. Not a big drama though

Twin Ensuite room
Had a nice night's stay in a twin bedroom ensuite. Very clean with decent furniture and towels. The ensuite could do with a bit of attention; the temperature control for the shower needs loosening off as it was very hard to change the very hot setting it was stuck on (Scalding). The extractor fan didn't work either. Could do with a fan when the weather is hot as room got very stuffy and hot during the night. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Comfortable bed, friendly staff, lovely pub. Some background traffic noise as near to a major road. Liquid soap and shower gel provided but why no small bar of soap for washing your hands.

Tracey

OK
Staff were helpful & friendly. Rooms were at the back of the pub in a converted out building. Small, nicely decorated, bed comfortable but they must have a damp problem. The rooms really smell damp. Which is a shame as they were reasonably priced.

Leanne

Would probably stay again
Clean enough for us but not hotel standard. Small room so the slanted roof did make getting in bed slightly difficult. Towels, bedding, shampoo, shower gel and tea/coffee supplied. Staff were friendly. It is quiet loud in the evening with people outside and with traffic in the morning. They do not do breakfast despite it stating that they do on their website, inconvenient but we found a diner nearby. Large car park but was very full, we had to park elsewhere until pub was almost closing.

Disliked: Room comfort
Lower Bell
When the booking was made there was no indication on the website, that the pub didnt serve food apart from a basic pizza, or that the main road noise was constant throughout the night. It was really disappointing, but at least the room was comfortable.
