Except the receptionist, the staff was really helpful and kind. The receptionist was either totally ignorant or lacking common sense.Despite seeing me and my partners with crutches, he gave us a room way further away from the lift. Also the room didn’t have an accessible bathroom. When we were leaving when I asked if they had disabled rooms, he said yes. The surroundings were amazing, beautiful and tranquil. They also had an impressive breakfast menu. Over all we enjoyed being there.

2 night stay with a dog

Booked for a couple of nights while visiting family in Darent hospital which is a short drive away. Easy check-in, large room with lovely lake view. Out main reason for booking here was it’s a dog friendly hotel. There were nice walks but would have benefited from a fridge in the room as we needed to keep dog food chilled.

Clean rooms, friendly staff but hotel itself very shabby, in need of full refurbishment. Bath enamel chipped, stained ceiling, very tired and old. A lot of repairs required.

Over due a revamp !

A quick stop off, however the room had been allocated incorrectly, this meant a 45 minute wait at reception to check in. They sorted there error … but it should not have taken 45 minutes. The manager didn’t seem to have an understanding of the lay out of the rooms … it was all rather fawlty towers . Hotel is well over due a refurb it’s very much stuck in the 80s. Breakfast was disappointing, bland, cheap products with domestic toasters and basic filter coffee machine sprinkled with dreadful music . I’m sure this place was good back in the day … the rooms were clean but it’s definitely had its day !!

This is one of the worst hotels I’ve stayed in. The cleanliness in the hotel rooms was absolutely awful! I had to move to a different room and the second room wasn’t any better. I was suppose to stay for 2 nights but I had to leave after the first night. This hotel needs a lot improvements
