We were after a few days away in a pretty country setting not too far from London and The Queen’s Inn fit the bill perfectly.
Despite the building being 16th century it is bright and very well kept. Our room was upgraded so we had a very spacious room with a comfy super king bed. The feel is cozy rather than contemporary but not dated as some of the reviews suggest. The bathroom was modern.
From arrival to departure the service was friendly and excellent (including at breakfast and dinner). We were really made to feel like valued customers. Even though we were on there a couple of days the staff remembered how we took our coffee, which was a nice touch.
Breakfast was plentiful and tasty, you could have a cooked and continental breakfast. The coffee at the Inn is of independent café quality, so you can feel confident ordering espressos, etc.
Dinner was so good we ate there both nights. Gastropub food which caters to everyone (locals, city types, vegans, traditional eaters, etc.) and is reasonably priced. The food was tasty and wonderfully presented, the restaurant had a great atmosphere (whichever room we were in) and the service impeccable.
The building/setting is beautiful and there are all the necessary amenities you need in the village. The Inn is also a 15-20’ drive to Bodiam, Rye and Winchelsea, which are all worth a visit.
We really enjoyed our stay at The Queen’s Inn and would certainly visit again.
