The customer service was generally excellent, very warm welcome on arrival and at breakfast. The standard of accommodation was great. Really liked the shower in room 16. The selection of tea/coffee in the room was also good and even offered hot chocolate. On the whole I was really pleased.
United KingdomCool old pub, bar has lots of character. Nice location in the middle of Lenham, nothing more than a couple of minutes stroll away. Ample parking out back, comfortable room in the new wing rather than the original building, and breakfast was good.
