The Star And Eagle Hotel  

Food was good but a little on the expensive side. Staff very accomodating and friendly. Asked why it was so hot in the room and was told people complain if its cold. Guess we are the opposite.

Windy night when we stayed the windows rattled all night and it was very hot in the room. Seemed a waste of money the towel rail being on super heat all night so hot it burned when you brushed past it to go to the loo.

Attentive friendly staff, good food, central location for touring in Kent. History and atmosphere. Tales of haunting and smugglers.

Our first room during the stay was very low ceilinged and using the shower and sink were especially tricky for a 6ft bloke. But very quaint... Without asking we were put into a larger room when it became available at no extra cost.

Friendly and welcoming staff, food, variety of real ales, innovative menu themes, well supplied bathroom, the old building itself... and a whole lot more!

The weather! The cold, miserable weather! In April. Didn't stop us having a great stay though...

Staff were excellent Food very good Lovely old pub with log fires

Room was cold but heater was offered

It was convenient to Lamberhurst where we attended a party at La Dolce Vita

Wonderful ancient inn with more oak beams and open fireplaces than you could possibly need, but mind your head! Food, staff, rooms - all excellent, perhaps just a wee bit too expensive, but we had a great time!

London prices

Very nice country hotel. Small, but very accurate in details. All made in "wood" but all clean (maybe recently renewed), quite comfortable. Good breakfast. Friendly people and cosy restaurant.

It was not easy to find it on night, only the "eagle" sign was visible, and no Hotel or Name lighed. No lift and very sharp stairs (luckily only one froor to "climb")

The breakfast and the lady serving it were impressive. Excellent quality ingredients. The hotel is in an old building with character and was situated in the centre of this lovely Wealden village. The manageress responded to my complaints about 'value for money' very positively.

We had the Four poster bedroom which was poor value for money. The bathroom needs an upgrade and some decent lighting. Having stayed at an outstanding hotel in Verona 2 weeks ago, with a whole suite of rooms, for little more money. The contrast was very stark.

Food was really good

The sense of history- the building creaks with age. We had a four-poster bed with good en-suite facilities.The Valentine's Day meal was eminently reasonable in price and extremely well cooked. Service was friendly and efficient. Goudhurst is a fine example of a wealden town and the inn is one of its architectural gems. A ideal choice for a short break.

Double glazing might seem incongruous in a building of this age, but it saved our "beauty sleep", as Goudhurst is on a busy road with far too much heavy traffic passing through.

Comfortable room, nice bar / dining area, good food, very helpful and friendly staff.

We went there to celebrate our birthdays. We had a great time in a beautiful old pub/guest house-hotel. The staff were friendly & the decor & four poster helped enhance a lovely few days away. The evening meal was a little expensive but there were cheaper options available. 9 out of 10.

very clean and comfortable and good selection of food with cosy bar for afterwards.

Good country hotel atmosphere. Interesting old interior with lots of exposed oak beams. Good service and food.

The friendly relaxed atmosphere and the helpful staff, Te food was excellent, both at lunchtime and in the evening

It was exceptionally cold at the time of our stay, and the bedroom and bathroom felt very chilly.

Every thing the ambience the staff the food and the varied menu every thing is first class

For several choices there is no good fit with the s&E. Its main attraction is that it is a historical gem, centrepiece (with the nearby church, within a wonderful village. But I'm biased, as I was born a few yards away and then left in 1968. On this trip perhaps the best feature was the view in the morning across the valley to the south, with stringers of mist therein - I remember that view from my younger days and it's magic!

I struggled to get the wifi to work (but I did)

Everything from the look of the building when we arrived through to the breakfast we had just before leaving. All the staff were friendly and welcoming and the room was fantastic. The restaurant was a delight and the food was delicious and well priced. All in all we could not fault a single thing.

There was nothing not to like.

Although we checked in much later than expected, the staff couldn't have been more helpful.
