It was a lovely - period dated pub with wood beams. The facilities were excellent and the hosts were fantastic I used this for a visit to the nearby vineyard. Its directly on the high street with its own car park. There are many shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes on the high street, and the steam train station is just off the high street

Lovely pub/hotel in a great location. We had an excellent Sunday roast .The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. My only criticism is that it needs a lick of paint here and there.

Staff was VERY helpful. There was a problem with the reservation through Expedia, only one bed in out room rather than two. They ended up giving us a second room free of charge. Really accommodating. Also free parking!

Centre of Tenterden

The stay was ok, it served its purpose. Most of the staff were excellent. I understand that it is an old building but the uneven floors are terrible, with a step just as you open the door to the room, unbelievable.

Nice oldie worldie pub with rooms. Beautiful open beams and vintage style soft glow lighting add to a relaxed atmosphere. The room was a great size clean and comfortable.

Could be great

Everything was ok but it could have been so much better with a bit more attention to detail. Breakfast service is less than slick but when it comes, it’s great. The rooms are showing signs of wear and tear eg flaking pain in the bathroom ceiling, coffee stains on the dressing table. Checking out was a nightmare.

Greeted with a very warm welcome by Hannah. Lovely deluxe room. View over town and garden. Tea coffee etc facilities were excellent with a little treat of Tiffin too. Only constructive criticism would be to provide better quality toilet roll!

Excellent Hotel!

Great hotel with a great pub, ideal location for a trip to chapel down winery. Great little town too, helpful staff when an extension was required for one of the rooms. Breakfast was delicious just a little confusing with regards to prices and choices. Overall great stay would recommend and stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Very old fashioned pub which I liked with a decent choice of beverages. The man who helped us check in and later serve us drinks was very helpful, polite and present. However I didn’t like or understand having to leave my card details and effectively a deposit for items that had been made available in the room. If you don’t trust people just don’t have them available. The other issue was the floor in the room which was very unsteady and the hotel and hotels.com should really add that somewhere when people are choosing. Whilst it was ok for us it definitely would not have been for others.
