Charming Stay in Kent

friendly staffeasy parkingclean roomawesome breakfast
The staff were quite friendly and helpful, I like that. Parking was easy, a real plus for me. My room was super clean, I certainly did appreciate this aspect. Breakfast was also fantastic, a great start to the day I did enjoy.
The tap handle was missing from the basin. Shower screen door was out of the lower runner, it did not seal properly.

The location was very central. The free parking nearby was also very convenient. The bar was nice, I thought. I also enjoyed the food.
The room was too warm. The small window could not be opened much. The provided ventilator only circulated warm air. The teaspoon in my mug was also not clean!
