Outstanding B&B, huge room.

This B&B is absolutely great. The room we had (room 4) was huge compared to other hotels we had stayed at as part of our previous 2 weeks holiday. Great little pub with a good selection of ales and food options. Breakfast was great quality as well.

Pleasant overnight stay.

Very pleasant overnight stay in Room 9, a front corner room with 2 windows overlooking the road. Had a drink in the Beer Garden before eating a well cooked meal in the restaurant. Friendly staff. Would stay again & recommend.

Room looked newly decorated, was bright clean and comfortable, traffic on the road can be noisy but we knew this when booking. Good value breakfast, restaurant staff very helpful. Convenient for town centre shops/eating options, close to lots of green space for walking along by the canal, walking distance of steam railway.

Handy but noisy location.

Room was good size and comfortable. Shower was a bit tricky to get right heat. Cooked breakfast nice. Rather noisy location by busy road. Handy for high street , steam railway and safari park.

GOOD BUT BASIC.

Good location, rooms basic, lunchtime food good, breakfast basic but good price. Pub closes at 10pm on friday and Saturday and closes at 7pm on Sunday, can understand to cut costs but during August its a bit of a shame as we had returned from a function for a nightcap before bed and bar was closed at 9.45pm.

Friendly staff, comfortable bed (and chosen because 3 minute walk from the event I attended). Downsides: an old building so lots of noise because floors creaked when neighbours moved about, and the plumbing was old-fashioned (took ages for hot water to reach the shower!). I was happy to stay one night (and would again) but not for a week.

Great little find in Hythe

Booked a 3 night stay here, as looking for somewhere close to our visit to Port Lympne Safari Park. Friendly, welcoming staff on arrival, couldn't have been more helpful. Had a drink in the garden on arrival, nice little sun trap. Room was very spacious and clean, even had a fridge and microwave which we wasn't expecting. Fridge was a blessing in the hot weather to keep cold drinks in. Bathroom also spacoius and very clean and the shower was really good too. Welcome tray good little selection and you only had to ask for more, if you ran out. Only little critisism was we had a meal and the chicken was over cooked but in fairness, the menu had been limited due to an issue out of their control, due to the gas being shut off. Certainly didn't detract from a lovely stay here. The staff really do make you very welcome. Would highly recommend.

Never go back again

No parking for me The rooms were terribly small especially for twin room UHT milk out of date Shower was hot not for long then just tepid Only one lock on the door and it was the latch so didn’t feel safe at every bump as we entered the building from the back the back fire door was left open so anyone could walk in and up to the rooms Main thing for me was at least the bed could have been comfortable as that’s why you mainly book a room for, the bed was not a proper bed it was more like a camp bed put you up bed. The mattress was so think you could feel the metal square pole under your back so I had keep rolling onto my side away from the centre but there was no room as the bed was small The only thing it had which I could not fault was a very hygienic bathroom. Well done for that as I know not many bathrooms can be clean. Wouldn’t go again not for that money without breakfast as well. £100 per room.

Great for evening meal but be wary of staying

A really good evening meal spoiled at the pub by a terrible nights sleep. Last orders were at 9.40 as the pub closed at 10pm. We were ushered out of the bar at 10pm prompt and made our way to the room. Clearly the 10pm deadline was not observed by others and from 11pm until 1.30am loud discussions, arguments and even a few duets thrown in kept us awake. There was no information about who we could contact about the noise phone number etc. I stamped on the floor quite loudly having had enough and the noise then stopped . I understand that the manager lives on the premises so surely he/she should be sensitive about the paying guests that are staying re the noise. Breakfast next morning was poor with most of the cooked breakfast cold, sausages not cooked properly etc. All in all a terrible experience and if the pub wants to have paying guests to stay it needs to ensure their comfort and ensure if they stay open beyond 10pm as advertised that they control the noise . Recommended for the evening menu but not the stay !
