The Dog & Bear was very comfortable. Great to have a bath with really hot water after a hard day walking the Pilgrims Way. Food was just what we needed, well cooked, filling and tasty. Staff were helpful friendly and interesting. Other places are available to eat. Many wonderful historic buildings in Lenham. Easy walk to the train station.

A lovely, very quaint village with friendly local people.
A lovely, very quaint village with friendly local people.
Next time I stay, I will hopefully take in a stroll, the weather wasn't great, for the short time we were there.
I can imagine during the Spring and Summer months, how beautiful the village square would be.

Incredible walks through fields just past the medieval church. I went to the local shop to buy some dog food and they let the dog in. I chatted to locals and visited some more of the shops all dog friendly. The village is beautiful and has a range of pubs and restaurants which I didn’t get chance to use. It was a really nice place to stay for a night. I would have like to have stayed longer. To top it off I heard a nightingale on my walk. I’ll definitely be back. I stayed in a dog friendly room at the Dog and Bear - lone female traveller with a small dog.

We went to Chapel Down vinery for a tour before staying at Lenham. The Dog and Bear was a little further than we expected down a lot of very scenic country roads but we had a very enjoyable stay for one night.

Lenham is a very pretty village with get friendly people who we met when walking our dog. We enjoyed eating In the evening either at The Dog and Bear Hotel or at the Square Fish Cafe opposite the hotel as they both had excellent food.

Sweet, quintessential English village.
Sweet, quintessential English village. The Bow Window coffee shop is first rate both food and staff. Under new management since beginning of February 2020.
Close to Leeds Castle and Chilston Park Hotel amongst beautiful countryside.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating to my partner and I. We stayed in the Victoria room, which was beautiful.
The food for dinner was brilliant and the area is so peaceful and relaxing.
We stayed as a birthday celebration for my partner and the staff made a "Happy Birthday" plate with sweet treats, which was a lovely surprise for him.
We spent the morning walking around the grounds and the lake is beautiful, even in the rain and cold.
We would recommend this hotel to anyone.
I am blown away by the service we received! We attended the Chilston Park Hotel for my wedding stay and the staff couldn't do more for us. We were upgraded free complimentary which was so generous and then also offered late check out and breakfast was served to us later as we slept in due to a late night on our wedding night which again was a lovely gesture.
We booked two rooms adjacent to each other on the ground floor , both were comfortable and had coffee/tea /spring water etc.
The location of the pub/hotel was excellent , right in the heart of the village with ample parking behind it.
Breakfast was outstanding and served by very welcoming, helpful, and attentive staff members
Breakfast was excellent with a good, flexible choice. Hotel was easy to find in centre of pretty town. Car parking was very good in large private car park. We had our dog and she was made welcome by everyone.
The room was clean, well-appointed, and very good value for the money. Lenham is a charming and picturesque village, and the hotel's location on the village square was ideal for my walking trip.
Nice hotel. Great breakfast. Room was nice and clean. Bathroom a little tired. The hotel is close to Leeds castle but not that close! Staff super helpful in trying to get taxis etc.
This is a hotel of two halves. The front is a nice old coaching inn. Pleasant bar and dining room. Very good staff serving nice local beers and good-value pub food.
