Really quaint property with nooks and crannies - lovely garden area. Room was spotless as was the bathroom. The only negative was it was on the front over the bar and there was a very loud 'stag' party taking place underneath our room. We could hear the Landlord asking them to keep the noise down but eventually when they left around 11pm it was very quiet with hardly any traffic noise at all.

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.
