Lovely village and location is handy to get to Canterbury and the University of Kent. The restaurant was wonderfull and the wait staff friendly. Breakfast and dinner was delicious. Large room, tea tray was well stocked.

An Inside Look at Woolpack Inn

After 25 years in the trade we moved to the beautiful village of Chilham, where we have been made to feel thoroughly at home. The 600 year old inn is full of character and sits in the shadow of a Norman castle. It is a family run business where old fashioned hospitality is our priority. Serving a home-cooked menu with locally sourced ingredients - simple honest food is the order of the day. A proud finalist in the Beautiful South Awards and runner up in Kent Times Restaurant of the Year, 2011.

What Travelers Love About This Location

“Warm staff, good food and drinks, nice quaint village location. I'd describe the family suite (small sitting room and two bedrooms) as comfortable and cosy, but also relatively small and basic. I'd still go again for a relatively good value inn - it's nice to be able to have a pint 5 yards from your room.”

눉I stayed in the barn conversion. Although the room was large, the walls are very thin. I could hear the neighbors conversation in the evening and even had the pleasure of hearing them snore through out the night.
눇Lovely village and location is handy to get to Canterbury and the University of Kent. The restaurant was wonderfull and the wait staff friendly. Breakfast and dinner was delicious. Large room, tea tray was well stocked.

“Frustrating and disappointing.”
- • With a pet
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉Despite booking this on 27th Jan and being very specific about the rooms we wanted and why( i.e. Ground floor, one disabled, both with pet access to the garden) we were allocated different rooms which were upstairs and with no facilities for pets. We had a look at the rooms and they were completely unsuitable. Staff told us that we should have checked with the hotel! We thought that booking through booking.com should have been enough! I had documents which had been sent by the hotel and you confirming the booking, one of which featured pictures of the rooms we were expecting to occupy. The staff said that they had not been informed by you of our requirements until the morning and the rooms we requested had been allocated. After a journey of nearly 400 miles with another 300 to get home, we were not pleased but as the staff were initially not budging, we were prepared to carry on....until we were told that my account had been debited by you that morning to the sum of £170. They said that it could not be refunded. You can imagine our frustration and utter despair at this! We were then told that we could have a family room with garden facilities for another £40 ...but we were 2 couples and 3 dogs....so a famil y room was hardly suitable. After a good 45 minutes of angry exchanges with 2 very assertive staff( one of whom was the manager), we agreed to look at the room. The manager had said that we could have the room without paying extra..but still we needed another. In the course of the conversation he said that the room next to it that we had expected to have had yet to be occupied although it was booked by someone else. He told me that the person was disabled and he would have to ring them to see if they would swap. ( My husband is also disabled which is why we booked it in the first place). Eventually we were given the room we asked for and the one next to it.
눇The stable rooms which opened onto the garden which were perfect for pets. The older worlds charm.

눉We would have liked a little more space in the room. As we were staying in the separate building we were lucky the weather was good or we could have got quite wet getting to the restaurant. We would have preferred a buffet breakfast as each selection was itemised on the menu. There was no choice of cereals. However when we asked for granola the lady did oblige us.
눇The bed was very comfortable and the staff were very friendly. The hotel was very quaint.

- • Stayed 3 nights
눉The shower was very small and it was difficult to balance shower gel and shampoo on the taps without burning your hands on the pipes, you couldn't put the bottles on the shower floor as there wasn't enough room to bend down. The wi-fi was also unstable on the last night.
눇Bed was very comfy, room was clean, towels were huge and fluffy. Plenty of storage and able to come and go as we pleased as we had our own front door.

눉We stayed in room 18 for the duration of our wedding weekend. No wifi signal in the outside buildings, we had no phone signal either due to location which, on the weekend of your wedding, was pretty chaotic! The bed was very hard and uncomfortable and the tv in our room did not work!

“Perfect location but disappointing stay”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Twin Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉Staff seemed uninterested in guests and focus seems to be more in the bar and restaurant. Our room was cold and despite being given a heater (no guidance on how to work it) it wasn't enough and when the heating did come on it was too late/early to be beneficial. Probably the worst part of the experience for me was having to keep walking through clouds of cigarette smoke to access the restaurant as it appears the bar locals were able to smoke right outside the entrance. Everything felt a little slap dash and not very attentive to guests needs. We were never asked again if we were warm in our room.
눇The food was amazing and nice range of dishes for dinner. Toast was particularly nice in the morning for breakfast. The location is perfect too as your in the main part of Chilham and it's so beautiful there.
