Stayed here before on visits to Benenden Hospital. Breakfast is DIY, it's in the room, more than adequate continental breakfast though with yogurt, porridge, cereals and croissants. Plentiful supply of tea and coffee and plenty of fresh milk. It's a very good sized room with a sofa and TV. Parking immediately outside. Can just up and go, no checking out nonsense.

The cereal packets are left on the top vent of the fridge so they get quite hot, why not leave them on the side table? The radiators were sourced in Europe and have adapter plugs. Those adapters are not designed for that sort of current and you might like to think about sticking an English plug on them, a UK plug would also be fused. They are great rads by the way, but we didn't need them.

Lovely room, very clean, everything we needed, the room was very big , the bed was comfy, friendly staff, when we walked into the bar it was a very warm and friendly atmosphere.

When we first arrived the room was very cold, we put the heating on it did warm up slowly, from then on we was toasty warm. I just think if the room was warmed up a bit before we arrived everything would be perfect 👌.

The accommodation is very clean modern and comfortable The pub is really nice and my partner and I began our evening in the pub We aimed to go into Tenterden for the evening and when enquired about getting a taxi one of the staff Brad offered to take us into tenterden ans pick us up later …a very kind and much appreciated gesture We will definitely stay at lodge again …excellent

We honestly did t find anything to complain about it was really nice

The room was really well thought out and had a lovely calming feel about it. The bathroom was beautiful and absolutely spotless. There was even a sofa bed in the room so if you had children they could have stayed too. A wonderful little gem and will definitely come again in the future. Also mentioned it to family and friends.

We thought the breakfast was a little disappointing. There were 2 coissants but not enough to accommodate the ham, cheese and the jam! We decided to take the ham and cheese home and made a breakfast with eggs when we got home! A We really liked the idea though and I'm sure for other guests it would have been more than adequate.

We had a cooked breakfast at the pub which was really delicious.

If I had to be picky, I’d say that the pillows were a bit lumpy/uncomfortable and the bulb in the light by the mirror wasn’t working. The chair at the dressing table had a blob of what looked like jam on it too which I very nearly sat on. The carpet is tired looking and could do with cleaning/replacing.

I personally,would have preferred to have some butter to go with the croissants and jam provided.That said the fact that fresh milk was put in the fridge was unexpected and most welcome.

Not sure that the front door felt that secure on its own.Would have liked a chain or possibly a bolt on the inside.

The location for visiting several National Trust properties nearby, plenty of parking, that the lodge was clean and modern, breakfast is left in the fridge which many will find useful if you wish to make an early start, the extra facility of a sofa bed which my wife liked as she didnt have to sleep with me! But the real star is The Bulls Inn pub next door, friendly staff and fantastic food every night!

Leaving

Good pre stay comms. Easy parking, easy access, nice and warm, hot water, shower easy to use, good space in room, good lighting, brilliant 5 star towels, felt safe, close to pub with good food, plenty of storage and hangers, clean, breakfast was OK, nice size shower , good toilet paper, 10 mins to Chapel Down, bed warm,

Should say “cold breakfast or continental” in the pre stay info, only a little minor issue .

Set in a rural location, exactly as described. Small room with ensuite facilities. Cosy (and I imagine cosier in the winter). Breakfast is provided, which is a nice touch. Very friendly staff!

If you wanted to have breakfast in the room, there isn't really space to do that. But on a good day, you can sit outside (which is what we did). Sofa bed not so comfy for sitting, though probably okay for sleeping.

Lovely comfy and clean room.

The continental breakfast was a little disappointing with rubbery supermarket packet croissants, cheap yoghurt and only one choice of cheap tea brand. A little more care with the breakfast would have made the stay perfect. I loved the idea of the continental breakfast but unfortunately it didn't deliver. Fresh croissants, a choice of teas and a bit of fruit or local produce (jam, fruit, biscuits, etc) would have made a real difference.
