The team were so friendly, very helpful and nothing was too much for them. We stayed in a twin room, which was very comfortable and had everything we needed in it. Good tea tray with bottled water, biscuits and a variety of beverages topped up every day. We stayed for 3 nights and ate in the restaurant the first night and had Pizza from The Shack on the last night, both were excellent. The breakfast menu has so much choice, much more than I have ever seen in a small establishment, and very good quality products. My granddaughters choice was not listed as a specific menu option however they happily provided her with her with what she asked for.

Nothing about the property, or our stay, as everything was great. However if travelling east bound to The Bowl I would recommend driving a bit further to the roundabout and accessing via Bowl Road and not Hartwell Hill as the roads are so narrow and the drive along Bowl Road is flatter with more pull in points.

Absolute gem of an inn a little off the beaten track. A beautiful old charming building with large car park with large outside catering area. Inside is mix of old-world charm and a modern twist which works very well. We had a booked a balcony room overlooking fields and countryside, good choice. Can’t fault the room which exceptional. Beautifully furnished exposed beamed room which made the bed look 4 postered with a stylish bathroom with all the usual facilities you could want. The bed was very comfortable for a good night sleep. The Bar is nicely laid out and tastefully decorated. The night we stayed there was mix of guests and locals who were all very friendly. There is an expansive dining area which again is charming. We dined at the Inn, and the food was excellent, well cooked and presented. The menu was thoughtful with a great selection of starters and mains for every taste. Local produce was on offer, and our choices were perfect for us. In the morning the breakfast was pure quality again a good choice was available. What really was particularly excellent was the staff. Busy, helpful, engaging, knowledgeable and were genuinely interested in their customers. From reception to checkout and everything in between. As regular hotel and Inn users we cannot stress how much the staff added to experience. Wished we were staying longer and now trying to think of a good reason to go back sooner. I bet the Bowl Inn is wonderful at Christmas. I do write reviews not all of them good and sometimes good hotels leave me a bit stuck what to say. This is exceptional.

OK this isn't a "didn't like" this is an observation and hopefully helpful. DO NOT follow your Sat Nav. The surrounding roads are very narrow and bendy to say the least. Make sure your Sat Nav brings you to the Inn along Bowl Road The Hart Hill approach is dreadful. Bowl Rd is off the A252 Charring Hill road. Its quicker, shorter, wider and has regular pull ins . Don't be put off as the drive is so well worth while.

A lovely inn in a quiet setting with nice views. Ample parking. Good selection of beers and food. The staff were very friendly, and our hosts were very accommodating by prioritising the preparation of our room to enable us to get in early to change and freshen up ready for a funeral after our long journey. The food was exceptional - not your average pub fare. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The only slight negative was the lack of phone signal / WiFi service. Not an issue for us (quite a refreshing experience actually) but it may be inconvenient for any guests needing to rely on these things.

Room was lovely and quiet, we asked the staff to add an extra bed for our little one next to our bed and did great before arrival. Our room was very spacious and the little patio was nice. Little board games kept our little one entertained. The bed itself was very comfortable but I would say that maybe lighter bedding would have been better with the warm weather. Otherwise lovely staff, breakfast was delicious and we had a very pleasant night. Be prepared as wi-fi/4G service is low/doesn't quite work well and had some difficulty with Satnav connection, but it is expected as we were in the countryside!

The cosiness when you step into the pub with a huge roaring fire was so welcoming. The decor in the pub, and the layout for dining was beautiful. Our dog friendly room was absolutely stunning with a comfy bed, huge bathroom with very modern shower, tea/coffee/hot chocolate/water/biscuits all provided. We had a lovely garden looking out over fields, fenced securely for our dog. There were even dog bowls provided. A full English breakfast set us up for the following day. The landlady and her staff were all very friendly and made my surprise dinner, with friends and family for my husband's birthday, a lovely evening. Thankyou.

Well let's start by saying the welcome we received was friendly and helpful. We were in room 1 which was on the compact side but beautifully presented. The bed was large and comfy, the bathroom had both a shower and a bath , and there was plenty of hot water. We dined in the restaurant that evening and the food was delicious and the staff friendly. Breakfast the following morning had plenty of options and we were very happy with it.

No, it was a very pleasant stay.

The breakfast was really nice and the staff very friendly. The pub serves nice dinner as well and has a great variety of wines and beer. And the pub is located in a great spot of Kent.

There was not quiet place without music inside tje pub. And in the room you always heard the ventilatiion from the kitchen. So the only quiet place was outside. So if you want peace and quiet also inside, you won't get it, at least nlt in our room. Ask for a room not so near the kitchen, that might be better. Also there was no space in the room for your clothes, the wardrobe was just for a few hangers. I would at keast vave put a small shelf in there.

Everything was good, the room with your own wee garden was perfect for my dog, the hotel is also dog friendly and that is a high priority for us big tick for that. The food was excellent we had dinner when we arrived which was eaten in the lounge with our dog, relaxing and great atmosphere, the breakfast was also really good and with a lovely ambience and view into the gardens..The room was spotless and smelt lovely....Would defo recommend..

We liked everything...no complaints at all

The food was fresh and delicious. The Staff were very friendly, welcoming, helpful and interested in us as individuals. Cleanliness was excellent. Tea and coffee were generous. The beds were extremely comfortable as were the pillows. It was easy to regulate the temperature in the room, turning radiators on or off and opening windows. It was a pleasure to see that the carpets in public and private areas were clean and not worn. Location was superb.

Improvements could be a small fridge in the rooms and a reception area for those staying the night at the Inn. Our own personal taste would have been pictures representing country or historical themes rather than animals dressed up as humans.

Welcoming staff, comfortable rooms, nice pub meals still served at 8.00, water, tea, coffee etc in room plus packed croissants for next day's breakfast. Our daughter had a v comfortable sleep before the channel crossing, which we appreciated

There was a lot of noise in the night both from the wind and pipes or shutters (not sure what but quite a racket). This impacted our sleep but still happy we stayed here as our daughter slept really well, despite the noise and found her bed very comfortable.
