Black Horse, Thurnham

I've stayed here on a number of occasions over the last decade and a bit. I've always found it to be friendly, with good beer and good food. My only reservations are that in colder months, the chalets can be a bit on the cool side despite having heaters. However, on this occasion, I was in one of the newer rooms and the bathroom was nice and warm in the morning and best of all contained a walk-in shower stall, far better than clambering over a bath tub! The pub itself has remained a decent hostelry, with a good choice of drinks. There is always a good local beer or two on tap. The food is usually very good, if a bit on the pricey side. I had calf's liver the first night which was very tasty and well presented. Breakfasts are amongst the best I have on my travels, with all contents of the plate well cooked and presented. The staff are always friendly, chatty and helpful and I will certainly continue to stay here when down in Kent. Highly recommended also for leisure as it is positioned brilliantly for Leeds Castle, Canterbury, Chatham and the Kent Weald. Problem is I'm always at work when here!

Great place to stay. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The shower was really powerful and could be adjusted to however hot you preferred. Food in the pub was excellent too. I've just booked to go again in a couple of weeks :-)

Traditional English pub

The pub is a lovely Olde World traditional English pub, with lovely food and a real homely atmosphere. I had pictured log fires and sofas, but it is more geared towards eating, with wooden tables and chairs (so my visions of relaxing with a book were sadly unfulfilled!) We visited on a Saturday and sat in the Dog loft for lunch, the small bites were incredibly filling, which kind of ruined our dinner plans! We were still stuffed hours later... Dinner was delicious, compliments to the chef for a visual treat which tasted amazing. The chalet stays are perfectly servicable, spotlessly clean and amenities such as an ironing board and hairdryer. The rooms were very stylish, no personal touches like pictures but they served their purpose well. My only issues were the bed was very hard (my back was aching in the morning!) and we only had 2 TV channels but, as we were not there to watch tv, this was no big deal! Overall, I would recomend this stay for anyone looking for lovely food, great wines, British atmosphere and some gorgeous walks nearby.

Stunning pub, restaurant superb and the rooms were amazing, clean and very comfortable. The only downfall was the tv in the room didn’t work. Reported first thing this morning and they had a replacement straight away. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend

Great! 10/10!

I only get to stay here once a year which is a shame as it’s a lovely place to stay and the food offering is amazing! The rooms are more like small chalets in a separate building, nothing flash but have everything you need and excellent value for money. Highly recommended, looking forward to next stay.

We arrived at 16.30 checkin was quick and i went to the room my husband went to make a reservation for dinner.The room was very tastefully decorated but no heating on,as it was Febuary it would have been nice to walk into a warm room.We were only able to book for 21.00 which was far too late when we had lunch at 13.00.We were not able to order our choice on the menu as they had sold out sausage and mash and fish and chips nothing special maybe defrost a few more.

This is a wonderful Kentish Inn. The log fire, the cozy seating and the food and drinks on offer make this out of the way place a secret oasis. The rooms are excellent, clean, warm and all the facilities you expect. And absolute value for money. And did I mention the food? Fantastic menu, great service and worth every penny. Fantastic place, can’t recommend it highly enough!

2 night working trip solo. A lovely old pub with olde world charm. You really couldn't find a pub more quintessentially English. Rooms lovely and warm with spacious bathroom (Clover, block 4). Restaurant also very good but £11 for a glass of wine is pushing it a bit. Have the prawns starter and sausage and mash to get the best value out of it.
