Warm welcome. Lovely location, good parking, excellent meal.

Wayne United Kingdom

Perfect location for the wedding I was attending at Edenwood Place, only a 5 min walk away up a hill. The staff were very helpful in directing me there. The shower was powerful and hot. The room was very clean, with good tea & coffee making facilities.

Holly United Kingdom

Good location but there is some motorway noise at night.

Melanie United Kingdom

Staff very helpful and food in the restaurant was lovely

Andrea United Kingdom

The room was very clean and comfortable, as it was next to the pub we also took advantage and had a few drinks and ate our evening meals in the pub which was very welcoming, the food was excellent!

Colin United Kingdom

Location was brilliant for our wedding venue we had to attend

Maggie United Kingdom

A lovely little gem. Staff friendly and helpful. Room everything you need for a short stopover. Will definitely use again. Thank you

Marion United Kingdom

The location is perfect just a few minutes from a major road network. So accessibility easy. The rooms are in a separate building from the The Lower Inn. With a connecting outside pathway. Room great value for money. Clean tidy the original beams on show everywhere. Staff very friendly and an 11am check out.

Nick5smith United Kingdom

Staff made me feel at home. Room well equipped and well serviced for my needs. Very good value.

F United Kingdom

I was at Brands Hatch for weekend so location ideal. Vicki behind bar was very welcoming. Locals in the bar made me feel welcome on both nights. Food Saturday night was also very good. May not be suitable for everyone but was perfect for my needs for the weekend. Would use again when at Brands Hatch.
