A two night stay away. The room was a nice size. The carpark is shared with village, so the first night we had to park on the road. The checking in times are strict, as the bar/ pub closes.

Shabby hotel, old fashioned room, horrible bathroom. NOT as photos suggested! No food. No parking. No wonder the pub was empty. Shan't go there again despite proximity to Le Shuttle.

We stayed here as we had a reservation at hide and fox resturant, perfect location as its almost opposite! Owners lovely, room was comfortable and clean, although a little dated and small. We only had a pre dinner drink in the pub so cant comment on the food as we opted to have brunch down in hythe the following morning. Room had tv with various channels, tea and coffee facilities, also shower gel and shampoo was provided in the shower room

The hotel is currently being run by a stand in family, previously from the hotel/pub industry. Extremely friendly and welcoming as well as pet friendly, I can recommend it to anyone. The hotel is ideally situated for Channel Tunnel visitors which is only a 10min drive away.

Good home cooked breakfast made to order plus cereals and juices. Room was clean and tidy. Decent B&B for resting your head. Slept well.

A lovely location, very pleasant and friendly staff. The rooms are not fancy but neither is the price. The bed and pillows were very comfy although ironed bedding and a valance sheet would have improved the look. Very good value for money.

The hotel closes at 9pm so you cannot get a drink when you get back from an event or a bar snack , eg crisps etc

Very nice pub in a beautiful quiet village location just outside the very pleasant coastal town of Hythe. Friendly and welcoming hosts. Room was simple but comfortable, and had Sky Sports in the room, which was a bonus (very rarely found in luxury hotels!). Pub has a car park as well as very safe on street parking outside. Full English breakfast was very good. Would definitely stay here again.
