Venue and staff: What a stunning venue!! The interior is beautiful giving a homely feel. 2 roaring fires, plants to soften the stone and lovely lounge chairs to sit in after a day of exploring with a great drink. For me the highlight of this place is the team that work there! Very accommodating and friendly! On our 2nd morning they knew our breakfast order, drinks order and asked if we enjoyed the places we had told them we were doing. To me it’s these small things that give great customer service! The rooms: The room was so incredibly clean! Very comfortable beds and a lovely ward robe space with regularly stocked tea, coffee and biscuits. It has a great shower! We stayed in room 14 and my only criticism was the bathroom area was incredibly small. Food and drink: Oh goodness! 10/10!!! We are here every night, we cancelled our booking to the Ivy, Canterbury, for our last night celebration, to eat here. The food is fresh, tasty and not too overpriced. There is a great variety. The breakfast was filling and set us up for our travels for the day. From lovely fresh pots of tea to the best French Martinis I’ve ever tasted!! Location: This is ideally located! We did loads in the 4 days we visited! If you like having a drive and explore like us you will love it here. Canterbury is a 10 min drive away, which was a lovely place. The second day we drove to Whitstable which took 25 minutes then did the whole coast in a day ending with a walk at the white cliffs of Dover (Margate, Ramsgate, Sandwich,Deal and Dover) Dover was 30 min drive. Third day Hever Castle which was a lovely morning (1 hour drive), Royal Tunbridge Wells and Ashford (great for a shopping trip) Fourth day Heading back north for home so we visited Isle of Sheppey for 5 minutes (I would not recommend) then to Rochester which was a lovely place to visit!

There was nothing we didn’t like! We had an issue with the hearing that was resolved immediately.

Good on-site parking. Very friendly and helpful staff. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, well maintained and comfortable. In room tea and coffee weren’t just the usual average tea in tea-bags, but a good quality tea selection. Evening meal in the restaurant was exceptionally good. A good selection of real ales at the bar. Breakfast (full English) was freshly cooked with good quality ingredients and plenty of it. Tea was good quality loose-leaf, served in a glass filtered pot and 3 funky egg-timers which were started when the tea was first made - which ensures you can select the strength you want by deciding which timer to follow. All in all, very impressed and would definitely book again when we visit the area next.

This was actually my second stay here whilst studying at ABDO college. It's perfect location wise, just a 30-40 minute walk to the college, and the food is EXCEPTIONAL. I had scrambled eggs every morning which were super yummy. I also ate here every evening and, although on the pricier side, it was consistently delicious. The staff are all friendly and welcoming and you really feel looked after. The atmosphere in the pub and restaurant is amazing and the room was so cozy and warm. I'll be coming back again next year for my next college visit too!

Loved everything about our stay, the staff were lovely and very friendly. The room was stunning, lovely and spacious. The bed was so comfy and everything was very clean. Very happy to have a choice between taking a bath or having a shower. The fantastic surprise of our own outside space was an absolute bonus too. My little boy also loved staying here, the staff were lovely and accommodating to his fussy eating habits. Would highly recommend. The breakfast was amazing and completely customisable. We chose to book here for convenience as we were visiting family in the village and I'm so glad I opted to pay a little more for a beautiful hotel on the family's doorstep instead of staying somewhere further out at a cheaper price. Definitely worth the money, we will be booking again for our next visit to Chilham.

If I had to nit pick at something I could only say, whilst having a lovely selection of tea and coffee in the room, there was not a proportionate amount of milk and sugar available to have multiple hot drinks. However I'm sure they would have been promptly refilled had I actually asked.

Very comfortable and cozy but in a spacious way....the staff were amazing. And as stated exceedingly dog friendly. Although I have posted a couple of things I didn't like I would certainly go back and certainly recommend to others

The bedroom was exceedingly hot....even with windows fully open all night...obviously a bonus if the same in winter. The stairs were quite steep....being registered disabled and having problems with my knees it was quite a challenge Through choice I would have liked a little more vegetarian choice on menu in restaurant

The room and en suite were both superb and beautifully furnished. There were plenty of toiletries, towels and complimentary tea and coffee (although I had to Google why I couldn't get the coffee machine to work but got there eventually). I enjoyed a lovely hot, deep relaxing bath and slept like Rip van Winkel. There is ample, onsite parking off the left-hand fork, at the rear of the inn

The in-house dinner was somewhat pricey and I dined alone which I might not have done if the food was more reasonably priced: I mean, charging £9 for a dessert is positively ludicrous! The dinner itself (I had the Jerk Chicken burger, no starter and bread and butter pudding for dessert) was nice but, with a couple of pints of lager, cost £40.50

The Woolpack Inn is a very welcoming pub, it is very homely and the recent refurbishment has improved the whole feel of the pub it has been very tastefully done, the rooms are spotless and well appointed. The food we had was exceptional along with the friendly service, professional and attentive. Overall we had a fabulous few days away, the Staff and location really made it. Thankyou Team Woolpack.

No complaints at all - keep doing what your doing, its working

We stayed at the pub overnight, with our dogs. We had stayed before, a couple of years ago, but my - what a difference! We were given a newly, beautifully refurbished room (literally just across the road) with an enclosed little garden for the dogs - we were also able to make use of the garden chairs and table to have a smashing ‘just arrived’ coffee. The bed was like sleeping in a cloud, the tea/coffee facilities excellent, and bathrobes too!! And a minibar (not that I made use of it, but would’ve if I’d been there any longer). There is a lovely little bistro table and chairs just outside the front door for you sit on and have a drink too. The pub itself - well the decor is amazing, so inviting and calming. Beautifully done, I really really like the plants, it’s like being outside, but inside -yet not overpowering. Food was excellent, we each had a Chilham burger. I had white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake for dessert (delicious) and my husband the salted caramel ice cream. He found the ice cream a little ‘warm’ (??!!) but still delicious and told this to the lovely young lady (Molly?) who collected our plates - next thing we know she approached us and said she’d mentioned this to chef and it was because it was homemade, and so not full of additives. We didn’t expect the throwaway comment to be taken so seriously, and were really impressed that it was. In fact we were really impressed with the service we received from all the staff whilst there. Polite, efficient and nothing was too much trouble. Made us feel so relaxed. And finally, I cannot leave a review without mentioning the dogs. It is a VERY dog friendly pub, and we were given a dog welcome pack - a ball, treats and a couple of poo bags. All dogs welcome, and the resident dogs are absolutely wonderful - so laid back and always up for a fuss. So, safe to say, we will be going back there as soon as we are able and would recommend this place to anyone, with or without dogs.

Nothing not to like, in my opinion

Everything was lovely, the room we booked was stunning and for the price it was really good.

I couldn’t really fault it as we ended up being moved due to noise next door but walls are very thin it felt like they were in our room with us however staff were very good and exceeded customer service. It was just a bit disappointing we had to move to a smaller room due to the noise of other people next door but again the smaller room was equally lovely.

The room was spotless and catered for all amenities. The food stimulated all senses and was a party on the tongue: beautifully presented, smelt amazing and tasted freshly cooked. Was worth every penny. The cocktails were great. The atmosphere of this place was wonderful. The staff appear to really like their jobs, always smiling, polite and nothing was too much trouble. Outside seating was glorious in the sunshine. Perfect location for walkers.
