I deliberately booked a cheaper room at the back having read previous reviews about traffic noise. No traffic, but woken up by the dawn chorus outside our window. Other guests heard an owl in the night. The hotel does provide earplugs, and eye masks, but the blackbird had a beautiful song so happy I heard it. Small room, but quite big bathroom, and we made use of the lovely lounge downstairs after dinner so had plenty of space. As others note, there isn't too much parking directly outside the Print House, but you can park the other side of the road as well after dropping off, so no issue if you come prepared for that. Dinner in the restaurant was very good, and some very nice local wine on offer. Nice beer garden out the back as well. The continental breakfast was plenty, so didn't trouble the cooked this time.

The Print House is an interesting and quirky old building, and has a few foibles. But come forewarned and you will enjoy its facilities as we did.

We booked a deluxe King Room including breakfast for one night , following a visit to Chapel Vineyard Very interesting quirky building , friendly helpful staff in the morning for breakfast and evening in the bar. Nice relaxing atmosphere in the bar for a game of cards a couple of platters and drinks. A couple of observations : Having booked the Deluxe King Room with extra large double bed for £167 (exc Booking.com Genius discount ) we felt the room was smaller than we expected given the description and price. The room facilities and cleanliness were all very good The room is described as having a quiet street view , however the room we had was positioned on the main road just by the traffic lights , however with the benefit of a vineyard visit and a couple of drinks in the bar this was not a issue for us ! The description in booking .com states that breakfast is included , this should be amended to make it clear that Continental Breakfast is included , a cooked breakfast is an additional price

This lovely boutique hotel sits in a great location on Tenterden High Street so easy to walk around town and explore. We received a very warm welcome and appreciated the beautifully appointed room and bathroom. We were only staying one night so opted for a small double at the front. Yes, it's busy during the day but very little traffic in the evening so no problem with noise. We slept soundly. There is a car park within 5 minutes walking distance, and not very expensive (free 6pm-8am). There is a charming guest lounge, and and a small bar and restaurant both decorated beautifully and very comfortable. We would certainly stay again. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Nothing. Couldn't fault our stay.

We were staying here after our visit to Chapel Down winery which is 2 miles away . Print House organised their own transport for us to and from which allowed us to maximise our visit experience . All the staff are lovely , and nothing was too much trouble . The hotel is really nicely decorated , with a homely feel and our room was good with a comfortable double bed and great linen . The ensuite bathroom was surprisingly large with a big drench or normal walk in , stepless , shower and supplied with excellent toiletries and plentiful towels and dressing gowns . We both had their full English breakfast which was excellent . The standard of food here is very good , I believe they source locally as much as possible and the quality is palpable . If we come down here again , we will stay here , it was very good .

The flooring near our table in the dining area was a little unstable and so , at dinner our table moved around quite a bit when the staff were going around during service , this could do with some attention ! We did feel our bedroom was a little tight around the bed although we did have enough space as the bathroom is so generous ..

My room, although small was beautifully equipped. The bed was comfortable and I had everything I needed. The Nespresso and water were welcome. The bathroom was superb, excellent shower, and the shampoo, conditioner, and hand wash were high-end and smelled divine, they provided a hairdryer and a little box of complimentary goodies which was most welcome. the room was beautifully spotless and the bedding was of high quality and very comfortable. The continental breakfast included in the price was exceptional, especially the baked apples in vanilla and the hot croissants, yogurt, and fruit. there was even a cheeseboard and melon options. It was much better than many of the continental breakfasts you find in the large hotels. I was staying overnight on business and the accommodation was perfect for that purpose and it's access to motorway connections. I will be recommending it to colleagues. Thank you for making my stay so pleasant and easy.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Print House Inn in Tenterden, and I cannot express enough how delightful my experience was. The room was impeccably clean, well-appointed, and exuding a welcoming atmosphere. The attention to detail in the room's decor and amenities truly made it a home away from home especially with a recent renovation. The new with the charming character that comes with such an old building made it a delight to stay. The staff at Print House Inn deserves a special mention. Their warmth and professionalism were truly outstanding. From check-in to check-out, their dedication to ensuring a comfortable stay was evident. They went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and attended to any inquiries with enthusiasm. Now, let's talk about the breakfast – a true highlight of my stay! The variety and quality of the breakfast offerings were exceptional. Fresh, flavorful, and served with a smile – it set the perfect tone for purpose of my visit. Overall, my time at Print House Inn was a 5-star experience from start to finish. If you're looking for a charming retreat in Tenterden with fresh rooms, a fantastic staff, a great pub and a breakfast that surpasses expectations, look no further than the Print House Inn. I recommend it and can't wait to return for another wonderful stay. Danny

Very neatly appointed and clean room, if a little on the small side (Book Binders room). Extremely welcoming host and staff, very nice continental breakfast and lots of individual touches around the place. Lovely shower, plenty of tea & coffee facilities.

It was a little disappointing, whilst understandable given it was a Sundy evening, that the bar was not open into the evening, but we were able to find an alterntive venue a few minutes up the road. Only minor complaint was that the traffic noise from the adjacent road was very noticeable from quite early on Monday morning, even with windows shut and blinds down.

The staff were friendly and helpful, especially for parking. The rooms and pub below were beautifully furnished and clean. The continental breakfast (included in the room price) was delicious, including some local cheeses. The room was just bigger than the bed but the bathroom was a good size. The local town has some lovely little shops and restaurants.

A little warm at night but we would definitely return.

Very friendly welcome, clean room. Well laid out, comfortable bed. Good location. Many additions in the room, coffee machine, toiletries and straighteners a bonus. Lovely walled garden. Will come back and recommend. Did not eat here but food looks amazing. Great location for Chapeldown winery and offer a taxi service.

Only negative is paying for cooked breakfast for price of the room, although the breakfast is lovely.

The included breakfast was continental and excellent, including fresh fruit, yoghurt and compote as well as the usual croissants and jam. The shower was good (walk-in) and the bedroom comfortable. The property is at one end of the main street in Tenterden which is full of interest and quite picturesque.

The room was on the small size, but well kitted out. Although the room looked out onto a busy road we were little disturbed by the traffic noise.
