Nice old hotel
Nice room in a very old pub. Excellent evening meal. However, the less said about the bacon in the breakfast the better. I was thinking of calling for a priest.

Great stopover on route to the tunnel
Lovely traditional inn in the village of Hollingbourne. So welcoming on arrival by Victoria who was a little gem. Nice garden to sit in and taste the local wine. Pet friendly too. Will definitely return!

Food is divine!!!
The room was lovely. Original features mixed with modern. The staff were friendly. The food however was next level! We had dinner in the restaurant and it was one of the best meals we’ve ever eaten. The waiting staff and bar tender were lovely as well.

Great Weekend get away.
We had a great stay in this quirky little pub. Staff were very friendly. Only downside was very noisy plumbing but can’t be helped in such an old building. Breakfast was amazing and it is only a 20 minute walk to Leeds castle.

What a fantastic stay!
Stayed in the windmill for just one night after arriving from France after a long drive. What a place! Gorgeous old English pub with lots of places to smack your head and absolutely nothing is straight… the room itself is lovely and simple with a great bed and everything you could need. We went down for a beer and a meal and all of the staff were lovely and could not do enough for you.. the meal was fantastic, I took, with my son, the beef Wellington which is the best I have ever had, even after a lifetime of eating in great restaurants. The wine was all from England and although not as good as some French varieties was a nice touch. The cheese board was local and delicious. After a good nights sleep, we went for the included breakfast. First thing is that you gave lots of options, second point is that it is absolutely fantastic and tasty. Great place, great staff and so happy I booked in. Can’t wait to stay in the summer and use their great beer garden and barbecue…
