We had a great stay here. We were attracted by the history - Charles II hid there and Wellington stayed there - and it did not disappoint. Beautiful fireplace and wonky sloping floors and ceilings. All 5 of us (3 kids) fitted in the family room comfortably. Friendly and welcoming. Dinner was great (kids meals divided beautifully), so was breakfast.... More

The room was fine - lots of exposed timbers and lumpy plaster, and clean. As other reviews have mentioned, the sloping floor (and thus sloping bed!) makes for an uneasy night.

From the moment we arrived the staff was extremely accommodating. It is under new ownership and it is apparent the new proprietors are determined to make a go of it.

The building is incredible and has lots of interesting architectural quirks. The rooms are tastefully decorated and sympathetic to the character of the place. We had a great breakfast and it's well worth staying to sample the Sunday... More

I loved this place! It is a quaint old country Inn which is clearly steeped in history. The rooms are very tastefully done and the pub itself is lovely. The night I stayed they offered a dinner and drinks package - 3 courses and a glass of wine for £15 which is amazing value and the quality is spot on... More

Needed accommodation for a wedding at the nearby Old Kent Barn and stayed here for one night B&B which was £70 - quite reasonable albeit we didn't have the breakfast in the end. They also let us check in early to get ready which was really very flexible of them, many places wouldn't let you do that. The property is... More
