Well situated hotel near the centre of Tunbridge Wells. Easy check-in, comfortable room.Small car park, which fills up early but once you realize it, parking is available on the main road nearby. The full English breakfast was excellent, staff were very friendly. Plenty of pubs and restaurants within 5 minutes walk for something to eat or drink in the evening.

Characterful hotel.

Middle of summer so hot, we had the windows open. The hotel is near main road so noisy. If it's hot, I recommend you ask for rear facing room.
