About

Once an ancient monastery, The Star and Eagle Hotel dates back to the 14th Century. It offers charming accommodations in the Kent countryside, a 20-minute drive from Royal Tunbridge Wells. Much of the old stonework is still visible throughout the building, and guests can admire the exposed brickwork, wooden beams, and an open log fire while dining in the restaurant. A wide-ranging menu is available, including tapas, seafood and meat, and there are vegetarian options to choose from. Guests can also dine outdoors, with picturesque views of the surrounding Kentish Weald. Rooms at The Star and Eagle have carpeted floors, sitting areas and TVs. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the building, and free private parking is available on site. Situated just 3 miles from the A21 highway, the hotel is a 35-minute drive from the historic coastal town of Hastings. Maidstone is just a 25-minute ride by car.

    • Staff all great. Really helpful and made sure I had a comfortable stay. Dinner was top notch. Pork belly was perfect. Even made me a lunch bag to take following day as I was up and out before the breakfast.
    • Food for 70th birthday celebration was excellent. They let us check in early after a long drive. Staff very hospitable and attentive

    Cons -

    • Nothing, parking was great, staff friendly, room warm and cosy
    • Unfortunately our bedroom was unbearably hot, despite turning radiators off. Old building so couldn't open a window which resulted in not a very good sleep. We could pull the glazed portion back but window wouldn't open so couldn't get air into the room to cool it down
    • I honestly do not think anything could have been better

    We liked everything. Location, beautiful area, parking, room was warm and clean, staff were very pleasant and the breakfast was outstanding

    10SusanPosted on: 12-12-2025

    Beautiful room, all the bar and restaurant was decorated for Christmas and looked lovely. Breakfast lots of choice and really good. Staff very helpful and friendly.

    Did not like the parking at the front of the Hotel as lots of traffic going passed alot of the time. But once we parked at the back of the hotel it was alot better.

    7SamanthaPosted on: 11-10-2025

    Beautiful Old Building, with spacious rooms. Breakfast was nice and it was convenient for what we needed.

    Our Room needed a good hoover, there was a lot of dust and cobwebs. The bathroom could do with some maintenance and a refresh.Unfortunately the toilet hadn’t been flushed by previous visitors.

    A beautiful boutique hotel in a 14th century building. Clean, quiet, cozy and with good breakfast

    9RandallPosted on: 9-8-2025

    Enjoyable overnight stay. Staff were lovely. The room was as advertised and everything worked well. Breakfast was delicious.

    Friendly staff, nice restaurant, historic charm

    Squeaky floor, disconnected bathroom

    10IllingPosted on: 8-29-2025

    Excellent on all counts! Rooms, pub, food, service, breakfasts everything! Will be back!

    The building has great character, the staff are friendly. The dining room /lounge bar and garden terrace were all great.

    The bathroom & bedroom were way too short in height to be comfortable. I understand it's an original 14th Century building but it should be made clear on the booking page, that you may not be able to stand up in the room or shower, especially for the amount charged. The buffet style part of the breakfast was basic to say the least.

    9AnthonyPosted on: 8-25-2025

    Room very clean, comfy beds, tea & coffee, bottled water, etc. Lovely 13/14th century building. Evening meal was great. All staff were very pleasant and helpful. Nothing seemed too much trouble. We had to leave on the Sunday by 7.30am, which was before breakfast, so they offered to make us a breakfast bag of items for us to take with us, which was really nice and appreciated. All in all, a pleasant stay, in a lovely place.

    Parking a bit restricted, small parking area, but it did look as though you could park on the road too.

    6HelenPosted on: 8-18-2025

    Staff were absolutely fantastic. Helpful, polite and hard working. Breakfast was amazing as was the location. Room was very clean albeit a little shabby. Loved though the fact a number of original and antique fixtures and fittings have been kept. Loved the 4 poster bed. The bathroom really lets the room down and needs a total refurbishment. For £230 for 1 night (a Saturday premium price tag I assume) I really would expect decent bathroom facilities. These are not antique fixtures just very dated and shabby. Towel rail was belting out heat during a heatwave with no way of turning it off as hard wired to the mains which was an issue. This aside I would definitely stay again for all reasons stated except the bathroom of course and definitely not on a premium charge night.

    Bathroom left a lot to be desired

    An atmospheric, ancient, but very well appointed pub/hotel. Staff all superbly welcoming and friendly.Dinner menu very varied and an excellent "fish specials list" too. Very smart restaurant on one side of the bar, but same meals in characterful bar too.Many more "Mind Your Head" notices than most hotels................all part of its historyWell located to visit mid-Kent and into East Sussex

    It is all really good.The hotel is on a sharp bend on the road, so some traffic noise.

    Lovely location, comfortable room overlooking countryside. Very good breakfast and friendly attentive staff. Good choice on evening menu.

    7AdelePosted on: 7-10-2025

    Loved the history of the hotel and the staff were very attentive.

    The low ceiling heights were a challenge. Felt quite claustrophobic in our room especially when husband is 6’4”. Would probably not have stayed if we’d known the challenges he faced with ceiling heights.

    Beautiful old building with lovely rooms. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

    Slightly noisy from the road in the morning
