Lovely, friendly staff. No pressure, just very relaxed and efficient. We booked with two dogs, and ended up having to bring another which wasn't a problem - we just paid the extra. A lovely big bowl of water was delivered to the room for the dogs along with one bed - would have been nice to have an extra bed but we also brought things for them to sleep on in case they needed their own things so it wasn't an issue. Our bed was lovely and comfortable, with lovely linens. It was a hot day and there was a fan on the dresser which kept us cool during the night - very much appreciated! We came and went during our stay, and a key was provided so that we could take the dogs out for a wee in the night if they needed one.

The only negative would be the shower. And I understand that being a 15th Century Inn, that in that bathroom a usual shower type of cubicle may not have been possible. It was a shower head in the bath which we managed with and we were only there one night so it wasn't a problem. Had we been there longer though it would have been nice to have an actual shower. A huge plus was the lovely slopey floors in the bathroom. It was spacious and the toiletries provided were lovely.

Quirky property and room. Nothing is straight, walls or floors, which adds to the charm of a 15th century building. Location is excellent and there is some parking available at the rear of the property. Lovely wholesome breakfast included in our stay. If you have an evening meal try the beetroot cured salmon, a real treat. The room was on the hotel front overlooking the main street. Most necessary amenities required for a short stay are there or available. The staff are exceptionally friendly and accommodating especially Georgina and Dwayne.

I found the bed comfortable but it didn't suit my husband, pillows are great. It is a noisy high street during the day and evening, cars can roar through at night so disturb if the window is open. We stayed on one of the hottest days/nights of the year so far and were thoughtfully provided with an oscillating fan, but there is no aircon, so it was a rather loud and hot evening! Ask to stay at the rear of the property if you want a more peaceful evening.

Great hotel in a good location- unfortunately have some building work going on next door however don’t let that put you off as it didn’t impact the experience- started after 9.00 and finished before 4.00pm. Staff are great, provide useful advice and very friendly. Food was good and good portion size - a good choice of food on the menu

Access to car park was restricted due to ongoing building work next door and resulted in car being covered in dust and grit - wool pack cannot be held responsible but would have been good to be made of it beforehand.

The management and staff were exceptional. Their warmth, help and efficiency were unbeatable. They created a very happy and enjoyable atmosphere for everyone.

My only reservation was with the noise, which I should have expected in a pub! It was particularly noisy on Saturday night with a stag party staying there. I was moved from my first noisy room facing the road and right above the pub to a quieter one, but then the stag party moved in! I realise that I am particularly noise conscious....

Location brilliant- absolutely central, next to the church and its lovely grounds. The view from sitting area over the main street and the rooftops. The generous coffee/tea selection

Wi-fi was not straightforward. I was told to click on the hotel free wi-fi. Perhaps I misunderstood but this appeared to involve a payment to a provider I didn't know. Ended up not using my laptop as intended. My booking was not straightforward. I was wanting a single room but - because it was the folk festival weekend and everywhere was full - the only thing available was a 'Superior Double'. Expensive for one person - but of itself good value. For a couple and/or a family it would be excellent.

I was really surprised by the decor and general facilities in my room, especially in view of the pub being 600 years old. I have stayed in similar listed buildings and the attention to detail in the decoration especially a really deep pile carpet was brilliant. The food was certainly up to four star hotel quality and things like having hot chocolate in the selection of drinks in the rooms was exceptional. What I also apreciated was the friendliness of all the staff. The Sussex Best recommended by the Landlord was truely special and I can't wait for another oppotunity to return.

I really can't fault the pub and certainly wish that more four star hotels were as good!

The room was comfortable, clean and quirky (very old building, so our bathroom had a dramatic slope in the floor which was pretty fun to slide down in socks). The building itself was very cool, tons of character. The manager and senior staff were excellent - attentive, helpful and charming. Breakfast was generous with a good selection.

Food was a little inconsistent, breakfast our second morning was substantially better cooked than our first (although good quality ingredients meant we thoroughly enjoyed both mornings). Our slope-y bathroom was fun, but a slightly grippier flooring would've been appreciated (no shower curtain so we didn't dare use the shower and turn the floor into a literal water slide). Would absolutely stay again though!

The breakfast was very good, it was a wee bit of a shame that they had run out of some of the stuff listed, bacon! However the staff did their best to offer alternatives. We were very grateful for the loan of the caffiteiere to make real coffee for our flask. They did offer to make it for us, but my view was it was 1 less thing to re-pack. I have a spinal injury & I can honestly say - that it was 1 of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in - THANK YOU

THE HAIR DRYER - please get 1 that simply switches on and off - having to hold a button is extremely difficult for many folks to do, whilst trying to style their hair. Small detail - but the bath was too high. i needed my hubbie to help me in and out. Perhaps you could look at putting a handrail up, to give one a bit more stability.

The pub was beautiful. Quirky and quaint. Tenterden is a beautiful place with lots of character and charm. The bar food was excellent with lots of choice. The breakfast was also excellent.

The bathroom was cold even after having the heated towel rail on for a long time. The sloped floor in the bathroom took a bit of getting used to but, to be expected in a very old building as too was the macerator toilet! Completely understandable in a building of that age.

The staff were very welcoming and friendly throughout our stay. The room was comfortable (a few sloping floors, but to be expected in an older property) and quiet. We enjoyed the tasting flight of local sparkling wines. Breakfast was simple (in a positive, un-fussy way), very tasty and had something for all tastes and diets. The location is ideal and the private parking appreciated.

Can't think of anything we didn't like. The floor in our bathroom was very sloped, which might be a problem for some, but wasn't for us.
