Room looked newly decorated, was bright clean and comfortable, traffic on the road can be noisy but we knew this when booking. Good value breakfast, restaurant staff very helpful. Convenient for town centre shops/eating options, close to lots of green space for walking along by the canal, walking distance of steam railway.

Handy but noisy location.

Room was good size and comfortable. Shower was a bit tricky to get right heat. Cooked breakfast nice. Rather noisy location by busy road. Handy for high street , steam railway and safari park.

GOOD BUT BASIC.

Good location, rooms basic, lunchtime food good, breakfast basic but good price. Pub closes at 10pm on friday and Saturday and closes at 7pm on Sunday, can understand to cut costs but during August its a bit of a shame as we had returned from a function for a nightcap before bed and bar was closed at 9.45pm.

A comfortable night

The room was comfortable but functional in line with our expectations. We did find difficulty in sleeping because the pub is on a busy road but more bizarrely there are people chatting in the beer garden until the early hours of the morning. Hopefully that wouldn’t always be the case. Breakfast was lovely!

Absence of catering, cold breakfast pack-up. Dim lighting (couldn't really read) Slow hot water. But liked helpful staff and the room was large and comfortable with a good en suite.

Great little find in Hythe

Booked a 3 night stay here, as looking for somewhere close to our visit to Port Lympne Safari Park. Friendly, welcoming staff on arrival, couldn't have been more helpful. Had a drink in the garden on arrival, nice little sun trap. Room was very spacious and clean, even had a fridge and microwave which we wasn't expecting. Fridge was a blessing in the hot weather to keep cold drinks in. Bathroom also spacoius and very clean and the shower was really good too. Welcome tray good little selection and you only had to ask for more, if you ran out. Only little critisism was we had a meal and the chicken was over cooked but in fairness, the menu had been limited due to an issue out of their control, due to the gas being shut off. Certainly didn't detract from a lovely stay here. The staff really do make you very welcome. Would highly recommend.

Outstanding B&B, huge room.

This B&B is absolutely great. The room we had (room 4) was huge compared to other hotels we had stayed at as part of our previous 2 weeks holiday. Great little pub with a good selection of ales and food options. Breakfast was great quality as well.

Pleasant overnight stay.

Very pleasant overnight stay in Room 9, a front corner room with 2 windows overlooking the road. Had a drink in the Beer Garden before eating a well cooked meal in the restaurant. Friendly staff. Would stay again & recommend.

The staff is very friendly, but it is a pub with B&B: limitations. It is a location next to the channel crossing, but for seiht seeing I would choose a different location.
