What a lovely find! We travelled all of 6 miles from Tonbridge to celebrate our 53rd anniversary with a night away, and this small hotel did not disappoint. As soon as we arrived, finding it in a sylvan glade not far from the town centre, but seemingly in the countryside, we found this charming old hotel to be the warmest place. From our greeting on arrival by Martin to our helpful morning server Thomas and Merry on our checkout, all the staff were brilliant. Our room (number 1) was at the front, with a big bay window looking over the nearby woods. Huge bed (slightly hard for us), great decor, nice shower, and quiet at night even though the A264 is a short distance away. Breakfast was very good - I luxuriated in the eggs, smoked salmon and hollandaise on toasted muffin. The dining room is a lovely feature - light and airy, with the possibility of dining out on the terrace. We wished we had dined there instead of in an over-rated place in the Pantiles. However, in the evening we enjoyed a delicious cocktail on the terrace before going out. We were recommended to return during the winter months and that is definitely on the cards!!
