Overall a very decent stay with a good bar and restaurant with an excellent breakfast line the morning. The rooms could do with a small freshen up looking a bit tired, but it was very clean and tidy.

Parking was straightforward. Hotel and the restaurant are in good order. Staff are excellent and well trained. Rooms were clean and tidy. There was everything you could possibly need but the landing area could do with a paint - thats my only negative observation

Great stay. Food is always amazing and the breakfast a service is outstanding. The only things that i would recommend is just a little Renovation to the standard rooms would make it five star all rounds.

A busy modern pub with separate restaurant and a small hotel. Room well appointed and clean, we had a waterfront room with large patio. Breakfast a little disappointing, very small buffet with limited options but a reasonable cooked breakfast menu.

Great stay

I go regularly and the stay is always great. The food is great, the only thing that wish is the breakfast starts earlier as they start at 7.30, so it can be a rush to eat and go, overall fantastic stay and will go again.

Lovely two night stay

Check in was great, staff checked cars into the parking system for the duration of the stay, food was excellent, room was clean, the staff were all great, lots of choice of eating establishments, but I wouldn't have wanted to have missed out on an evening meal here either

Lovely, historic pub walking distance from the Chatham Dockyards. Nice rooms, nice staff, great setting. Breakfast was excellent each day. Dinner was even better. Chatham Dockyards are definitely worth a visit and the pub is just a short walk away. Also, Rochester Cathedral and Rochester Castle are a short drive away and touring them made for a lovely day. The area around the pub is very walkable and there is an outlet mall just across the road.
