We loved our time at the hotel. The restaurant, although small, served amazing food- fresh, creative, delicious. There was no need to look elsewhere for dinner and breakfast. Staff was friendly, engaging and personable throughout the hotel/ restaurant. It was only an overnight stay on the way to our destination, but we would search it out again.

We stayed for one day and night as part of a weekend bicycle trip to visit Kent. We were very impressed with the hotel. It seems to have undergone complete renovations. The lobby/restaurant/bar areas are welcoming and comfortable, the room was spacious, modern, and clean, with excellent climate control. The staff were friendly and responsive. Overall, it enhanced our enjoyable visit to Kent.
