A busy modern pub with separate restaurant and a small hotel. Room well appointed and clean, we had a waterfront room with large patio. Breakfast a little disappointing, very small buffet with limited options but a reasonable cooked breakfast menu.

Lovely, historic pub walking distance from the Chatham Dockyards. Nice rooms, nice staff, great setting. Breakfast was excellent each day. Dinner was even better. Chatham Dockyards are definitely worth a visit and the pub is just a short walk away. Also, Rochester Cathedral and Rochester Castle are a short drive away and touring them made for a lovely day. The area around the pub is very walkable and there is an outlet mall just across the road.

Very good hotel and room excellent (could be better with in room fridge). Breakfast service though was very poor, disinterested staff and not a good attitude towards allergens - despite the venue saying GF options available (placing an iPad on the table and saying look at that - with just bacon and egg to choose from wasn’t great).

Great service

Great stay. Food is always amazing and the breakfast a service is outstanding. The only things that i would recommend is just a little Renovation to the standard rooms would make it five star all rounds.

Nicely situated pub / hotel for the nearby historic dockyard and Rochester town (and Fort Amhurst) Easy check in. Nice room with waterside view (standard room) Comfy bed and compact bathroom with lots of toiletries. Bar and restaurant both excellent with a good range of local beers and food. Nice covered area on the quay for boat and people watching and lots of outside seating for when the weather is more clement. Great value for money if you're in the Chatham area. £10 trip into town on the Uber or an hour walk (not the prettiest!)

Lovely two night stay

Check in was great, staff checked cars into the parking system for the duration of the stay, food was excellent, room was clean, the staff were all great, lots of choice of eating establishments, but I wouldn't have wanted to have missed out on an evening meal here either

Great place to stay

Really nice pub and hotel. Good was excellent!! We stayed on the weekend so it was about loud (not their fault) but customers were very loud and shouting outside. Would definitely stay again when in the area!

Lovely stay if visiting dockyard

Nice cosy room and big bath. Nice to have bar and restaurant on site. Walking distance to shopping and the historic dockyard. Friendly staff. Free parking. Nicer to be overlooking the marina than the dockyard where other hotel is situated.

Great stay

I go regularly and the stay is always great. The food is great, the only thing that wish is the breakfast starts earlier as they start at 7.30, so it can be a rush to eat and go, overall fantastic stay and will go again.

We had a good overnight stay and meal in restaurant. Only issue was lack of plug sockets by the mirror to dry hair, and lighting could have been a bit brighter
