    A historic ancient building that makes a great and atmospheric hotel. But mind your head !!!!

    The heavy traffic passing through Goudhurst in the morning is far too much for the village to handle. A by-pass is urgently needed.

    This is not my first stay at this hotel. I love the way the ancient structure has been preserved and is still in comfortable good use. We were very well looked after by all the staff that we met, and who served our excellent breakfast.

    Would have appreciated it if breakfast could have commenced a little earlier than 8.30am, though the staff were very accommodating and served my meal very quickly. I was also offered a take away breakfast had I wanted a really early start to the day.

    Very convenient location in the heart of a pretty village. Comfortable room with tea/coffee tray, dressing gowns and tasteful decor. A very friendly and welcoming atmosphere, with an excellent choice of food available. Free car parking at the front and rear of the property.

    The amount of traffic that passes through Goudhurst, but there’s nothing the hotel can do about that.

    It was just great, with extremely friendly staff, a delicious breakfast, and a rum with a full posted bed that will be difficult to match.

    Breakfast was very good but I’m sorry to say that the coffee was borderline undrinkable. The hot water for the shower took forever to come through but it did eventually so that was fine. The wardrobe was a novel place to hide the kettle!

    The journey to our room was intriguing although it did carry a risk of banging one’s head on low beams. To say the place is full of character and history is an understatement. On possibly the warmest night of the year, I was slightly nervous of opening the only window given its antiquity but it was fine. Some traffic noise as a result but less than I expected given the sharp bend right outside. Food was excellent even though we arrived late, as was the beer. Parking was easy. Bed was comfortable.

    The hotel was lovely, staff really friendly and they went beyond to help me with some requests which I appreciated. Room was beautiful and very spacious. The one thing I did not like was that I could not turn the towel rail off and I have a problem with heat but at least I could open the window fully which helped. The breakfast was really good.
