A very comfortable 3 day stay in this Village Inn with very warm welcome and friendliness throughout - informal but professional. Cleanliness of both room and bathroom excellent with some extras provided in both. Food and menu also excellent. Ideal location to visit Canterbury (Park and Ride close by and very easy) and nearby coast. A lovely stay.

Wonderful break in a special pub. We really enjoyed our stay at the Duke William. The host Adam was a superstar and all the staff made our visit very special. The pub itself is the star, such a wonderful ambience, clearly loved by locals. The food is hearty and everything you want from pub grub. Our room was a little on the small side, so we had to squeeze to get around the bed, and it was on the warm side (but better that than being too cold). But lots of lovely little touches to make us feel welcome from the personalised note, to the scrummy chocolate port. The location of the pub made it a great central point to see the area being around 30 mins from Whitstable, Margate and closer still to Canterbury. Would definitely stay again if in the area, but perhaps not in the same room.

The Duke William is an historic pub with rooms above. The food is amazing, staff are friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is quaint and the villagers are delightful. Betty, the pub dog, belongs to a villager, but spends her evenings at the Duke William. We highly recommend this adorable and relaxing establishment.

Stayed two nights and would highly recommend it. The room was perfectly comfortable although the floors are a little creaky - not unexpected in a pretty old building. The welcome was very friendly and the highlight was the food. We ate in the bar both nights and couldn't fault any of it or indeed the breakfasts. Very enjoyable stay.
