A warm welcome from Jemma and her team. Remarkably quiet rooms despite being above a family friendly pub and on the high street. The breakfast was one of, if not the, best I’ve been offered anywhere in a hotel in the UK or US in years. We loved staying here.

Staff were friendly and helpful, room was clean and tidy. Thankfully there was a large fan in the room, as the temperature was very hot re weather. Breakfast was ok I would have preferred a walk in show, as the bath was not easy to climb into as quite high.

Lovely room, friendly and very helpful staff and great service. Only comment would be for the kitchen to stock some GF bread as its absence meant a very limited breakfast choice!

I like its history and the Staff are excellent. I disliked: a) Wasting so much milk. I only needed a small spoonful. b) Morning shower.......the water was tepid at the most despite the fact that I reported it and was assured it would be better next day. c) Noisy, especially on Friday night. I could feel the bedroom floor vibrating. d) I found the dinner menu very limited after the first evening.

What Good Looks Like

A fabulously historic property in the centre of lovely Faversham. Thank you to the whole team at The Sun Inn for making this such a memorable two night stay. Despite being early for check in the staff went out of their way to accommodate us, offering us a drink and taking our heavier luggage into safe storage. Our booking had been for a double room on the first evening and a twin on the second. Ideally we wanted a twin room for both nights and having explained this to the manager he promptly offered to swop us into the same twin room on both nights. This made life so much easier and was much appreciated. Overall the staff could not do enough to make our stay a pleasurable one, anticipating our needs and ensuring those needs were accommodated. The room was large and very clean, the breakfast excellent and the roasted lamb in the evening was delicious and of high quality. Faversham is a delight, simply gorgeous and well worth a visit. If you are visiting then you will not do better than to stay at The Sun Inn, they will look after you and ensure you a memorable visit.

Mysig pubkänsla på hela stället

Mysigt rum ovanpå pubverksamhet. Ingen hiss och rätt så trånga trappor. Var beredd på att bo på ett ställe där stilen går före modernitet. Det är ett gammalt hus med rik historia och det är många små utrymmen och trappor och vinklar. För mjuk säng för min del, men helt ok. Engelsk frukost serveras vid bordet, ingen buffé. Ok urval.
