Raemonde United Kingdom

The breakfast was excellent, beautifully cooked and plenty of it. The tomatoes in particular were done as they should be, cooked long enough to fall out of their skins and the core removed. Thoroughly recommended.

David United Kingdom

Breakfast was very good, in a pleasant bright room. My bedroom was fine and although the view wasn't the best (nor at the price did I expect it) it was open to city views. And the bed was comfortable.

David United Kingdom

Room and bathroom were both nicely furnished and the bed was particularly comfy. Staff were extremely helpful and allowed us to check in three hours early. A tasty and generous breakfast the next day! A great place to stay if you are visiting Royal Tunbridge Wells.
