Tamsin United Kingdom

very old house and full of character.Excellent dinner if quite expensive and friendly helpful staff.lovely view.

Sarah United Kingdom

We were there over the Platinum Jubilee, and the hotel / pub / restaurant was really busy, but we were very well looked after. It was a privilege to stay in such an amazing, characterful old hotel with stunning views and in a beautiful, Kentish village. The food was very good, and they dealt with our dietary requirements extremely well, even though half the world seemed to be eating and drinking there. What a fabulous place! We will stay there again - perfect even without the Morris dancers in the pub courtyard and the Jubilee Beacon on the village green!

High score for Goudhurst

Once an ancient monastery, The Star and Eagle Hotel dates back to the 14th century. It offers charming accommodation in the Kent countryside, 20 minutes’ drive from Royal Tunbridge Wells.

Much of the old stonework is still visible throughout the building, and guests can admire the exposed brickwork, wooden beams, and an open log fire while dining in the restaurant.

A wide-ranging menu is available, including tapas, seafood and meat, and there are vegetarian options to choose from. Guests can also dine outdoors, with picturesque views of the surrounding Kentish Weald.

Rooms at The Star and Eagle have carpeted floors, seating areas and TVs. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the building, and free private parking is possible on site.

Situated just 3 miles from the A21, the hotel is a 35-minute drive from the historic coastal town of Hastings. Maidstone is just a 25-minute journey by car.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 8.9 for a two-person trip.

The Star And Eagle Hotel has been welcoming Booking.com guests since 9 Mar 2011.
