We absolutely loved our stay here! We were made to feel immediately welcome and our nervous dog felt right at home. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The staff were fantastic and friendly throughout our stay. We really enjoyed our meal in the evening and the cooked breakfast was fantastic! Parking was easy and the hotel is located centrally in the beautiful village. We would definitely come back!

Excellent breakfast, great service.

The breakfast was excellent, as was the service at check in & in the morning. Our room was perfectly adequate although you have to bare in mind that these unique properties are old and quirky. Coffee machine and pods in the room was a nice touch.

The Castle Hotel Eynsford kent A best kept secret

It was a lovely stay , and the room was cosy with great service and brilliant staff. The Castle Hotel is the perfect village location but close to local Amenities and short distance from major route link's. All the room's are upstairs, Clean, tidy and very modern victorian in design. We loved it and the included breakfast too

Lovely character-full old property. Very comfortable beds and good facilities. Excellent staff. High quality chef-prepared food. Friendly people. Only small gripe is the ales were Shepherd Neame - I prefer a range of real ales. (Good pint of Timothy Taylor Landlord London Pride in the neighbouring pub though.)

The Castle Hotel was easy to find and check was fine. Had dinner in the bar area and the food was really great. The room was large and had all that was required for an overnight stay. However, in the morning I found that there was not hot water. Very disappointing…

A beautiful bespoke hotel!

This hotel is a real gem. A really bespoke feeling with excellent customer service and a homely feel. I booked the small room which was perfect for my needs as a solo traveller and I loved the fireplace in the bathroom! Breakfast was lovely and the bar/restaurant is a fine example of an English pub. The chef was also able to handle my difficult dietaries. Highly recommend this place, also in a really beautiful location and an easy trip from London for a weekend in the country. Thank you.

An absolute gem of a pub. The room was tastefully decorated with lots of extra little touches, like tea lights in the bathroom. The bed was comfortable and the claw foot bath was gorgeous, with toiletries provided and piping hot water. Perhaps a flannel to wash with would be good and the bottom of our mugs were tea stained which was a bit off-putting but that’s all I’d be picky about. The pub is very atmospheric, obviously loved by the locals as it was packed, and the staff were polite and welcoming even though they were very busy. Having on site parking was a big plus. We’ll definitely be back - loved it.

Lovely property, really great staff. Only downside was that a lamp in my room wasn’t working, so not exactly a deal breaker. Other than that, a lovely overnight stay

We would have rated the Castle excellent if we had slept better, but having a room on the busy main road made that difficult…we could imagine that another back room was much quieter. But the atmosphere was nice and both dinner and breakfast freshly cooked and well-presented were all enjoyable.
