A really enjoyable stay

A very comfortable 3 day stay in this Village Inn with very warm welcome and friendliness throughout - informal but professional. Cleanliness of both room and bathroom excellent with some extras provided in both. Food and menu also excellent. Ideal location to visit Canterbury (Park and Ride close by and very easy) and nearby coast. A lovely stay.

We arrived at 8.15pm and were worried we were too late to eat, bu we received a very warm welcome from a lovely young lady with long blonde hair, who told us that despite our lateness, we could check in before eating. We decided to eat straight away. The food was delicious. I had ham and leek pie with buttery mash and cabbage and my husband had ham hock, egg and hash brown chips. Our room COX was above the bar. It was comfortable and very well appointed. There was a small complimentary decanter of RUBIS, a chocolate ruby port, which was delightful. There was a pantry down the hall, where you could help yourself to refrigerated milk and bottled water along with extra towels, loo rolls etc. The bed linen and towels were good quality. There was body wash /shampoo and condtioner in the shower and liquid soap by the sink. The only thing that let it down was peeling lino by the shower and a the plug for the basin was detached. Breakfast was very good. A breakfast hamper was provided as my husband had to leave very early on the second day. The pub is in a lively village. It has a bar, restaurant, conservatory and plenty of seating outdoors with rural views. All the staff were customer focused. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Highly recommended.
The welcome amenities!

Lovely Pub!

Wonderful break in a special pub. We really enjoyed our stay at the Duke William. The host Adam was a superstar and all the staff made our visit very special. The pub itself is the star, such a wonderful ambience, clearly loved by locals. The food is hearty and everything you want from pub grub. Our room was a little on the small side, so we had to squeeze to get around the bed, and it was on the warm side (but better that than being too cold). But lots of lovely little touches to make us feel welcome from the personalised note, to the scrummy chocolate port. The location of the pub made it a great central point to see the area being around 30 mins from Whitstable, Margate and closer still to Canterbury. Would definitely stay again if in the area, but perhaps not in the same room.

Quaint Village Pub with Rooms

The Duke William is an historic pub with rooms above. The food is amazing, staff are friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is quaint and the villagers are delightful. Betty, the pub dog, belongs to a villager, but spends her evenings at the Duke William. We highly recommend this adorable and relaxing establishment.
