Great staff, and delicious breakfast. They made me feel very welcome.

Sam United Kingdom

Staff couldn’t have been more friendly and welcoming, given the current climate. Thank you so much!

Michelle United Kingdom

Staff and management were extremely friendly and helpful. For the day I had to make a very early start before the scheduled breakfast time staff offered unprompted to give me a packed meal of (delicious) ham sandwiches and a drink which was left out for me to take with me, very welcome. The full English breakfast next day was what I had come to expect, just as delicious!

Andrew United Kingdom

Lovely traditional village pub with a wonderfully friendly and helpful landlady and staff. Excellent breakfasts and a delicious evening meal.

Elizabeth United Kingdom

Staff were excellent. And we were accepted into this very local Inn as part of the furniture. We will be back next year.

Tony United Kingdom

Very friendly staff, comfortable room and facilities. Food was delicious and good range. Lovely traditional pub.

Jenny United Kingdom

Staff were great, breakfast was way beyond expectations.

David United Kingdom

What’s not to like about a pub that does b&b with great choice of beers wide choice of food on its menu and great facilities clean room and bathroom. Fantastic value for money and helpful staff.

Richard United Kingdom

Mary and the team were lovely and looked after us incredibly well. Would highly recommend if you're staying here and in the area.

Ryan United Kingdom

It was strategically near places to drive to. For example Deal, Dover and Broadstairs. The food was good and the staff were very nice. The breakfast was very good
