We go to Hythe quite a lot and would never have stayed at this place previously, as it had a certain reputation. However we went in for a drink last year just after it had been refurbished and found it be a completely different place.

We had a lovely meal in this spotlessly clean establishment ( 5 star toilets!) The special deal menu was particularly good value; but even full price the food and the general ambience of the place made it a really pleasant occasion. We'll be going again John and Ruth Dover more

The new managers are amazingly attentive and detail oriented...the rooms are really terrific, all new luxurious beds,... more
