I liked the history of the pub and the quirky village
Set in a grand Grade I listed property once home to politicians and Lords, this hotel has 22 acres of rural parkland.

This is our favorite place to stay. The the venue and food are amazing but the staff are outstanding. They can't do enough to make your stay extra special. They are main reason we go back.
Thanks so much again Matt, Liam and Amelia for creating such a lovely memory and will definitely see you again soon.

Corky whimsical feel. Spacious and functional room with all the needed amenities. Beautiful grounds. Pub has lots of great food, starts early and stays open late. Andrea and Miha were the perfect hostess.
In quiet countryside, Weald of Kent Golf Course & Hotel offers a variety of accommodations options with free WiFi.

Friendliness and helpfulness of all the staff I came across. Good security for the very clean and well decorated bedroom. Excellent choice of breakfast and dinner menus.

Very smooth check in, clean room, lovely amenities, great breakfast, lots of different options to eat.
The Dog & Bear was very comfortable. Great to have a bath with really hot water after a hard day walking the Pilgrims Way. Food was just what we needed, well cooked, filling and tasty. Staff were helpful friendly and interesting. Other places are available to eat. Many wonderful historic buildings in Lenham. Easy walk to the train station.

A lovely, very quaint village with friendly local people.
A lovely, very quaint village with friendly local people.
Next time I stay, I will hopefully take in a stroll, the weather wasn't great, for the short time we were there.
I can imagine during the Spring and Summer months, how beautiful the village square would be.

Incredible walks through fields just past the medieval church. I went to the local shop to buy some dog food and they let the dog in. I chatted to locals and visited some more of the shops all dog friendly. The village is beautiful and has a range of pubs and restaurants which I didn’t get chance to use. It was a really nice place to stay for a night. I would have like to have stayed longer. To top it off I heard a nightingale on my walk. I’ll definitely be back. I stayed in a dog friendly room at the Dog and Bear - lone female traveller with a small dog.

We went to Chapel Down vinery for a tour before staying at Lenham. The Dog and Bear was a little further than we expected down a lot of very scenic country roads but we had a very enjoyable stay for one night.

Sweet, quintessential English village.
Sweet, quintessential English village. The Bow Window coffee shop is first rate both food and staff. Under new management since beginning of February 2020.
Close to Leeds Castle and Chilston Park Hotel amongst beautiful countryside.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating to my partner and I. We stayed in the Victoria room, which was beautiful.
The food for dinner was brilliant and the area is so peaceful and relaxing.
We stayed as a birthday celebration for my partner and the staff made a "Happy Birthday" plate with sweet treats, which was a lovely surprise for him.
We spent the morning walking around the grounds and the lake is beautiful, even in the rain and cold.
We would recommend this hotel to anyone.
The whole hotel is stunning! The Marble Hall, chandeliers, staircase, paintings and Dogs of Fo! Everywhere had something amazing to look at! The room we stayed in was huge and had everything we needed and more. The bed was ultimate luxury, as was breakfast in our room. We can't fault the hotel, staff or location.
We had an enjoyable 3-night stay at this property. Great food, lovely rural location and very pleasant helpful staff. Lenham is a cute village. Other pretty villages are not too far away by car. Leeds Castle is worth a visit.
The room was clean, well-appointed, and very good value for the money. Lenham is a charming and picturesque village, and the hotel's location on the village square was ideal for my walking trip.
Great location in the centre of Lenham. Staff very friendly and helpful. Nice atmosphere in pub. Good breakfast choice. Overall what you would expect from an old character pub with rooms.
This is a hotel of two halves. The front is a nice old coaching inn. Pleasant bar and dining room. Very good staff serving nice local beers and good-value pub food.
This was our second stay at this hotel.
Once again, we were made very welcome by the staff at this beautiful venue, where nothing is too much for them to do for you.
The staff were all charming and helpful. We loved Lenham and the location was excellent. Great to have parking too. we had a lovely meal and a good stay altogether.
This was a nice hotel to stay at. Everything was wonderful. Breakfast was good with lots of food. In the front of the hotel is a bar and also a restaurant.
