The well-presented hotel has rooms featuring modern facilities, including TVs, hairdryers, individual private bathrooms and free Wi-Fi. Guests can enjoy a selection of cask ales in the unique cellar bar, which was once the historic quarter jail. There is also open-air dining in the grounds and a terrace for guests to relax on.

Cons -
- Given 3* expectation: Breakfast day 2 was good, days 1&3 were poorly presented and served. Room was cavernous but lacking hooks, shelves. Room electrics were odd - main light off, all power off. Fire alarm overnight, no staff responded. Health/Safety?
- Property needs significant improvement and updating. Based on cost. Clean comfortable and value for money
- The whole hotel is very tired. The carpets are threadbare, the walls all need painting and the hair dryer was so sticky I had to wrap clothes around it to use it. Also the room was very hot and we were unable to open the windows.

Property needs significant improvement and updating. Based on cost. Clean comfortable and value for money
The staff were friendly and helpful and the bed was clean and comfortable.
The whole hotel is very tired. The carpets are threadbare, the walls all need painting and the hair dryer was so sticky I had to wrap clothes around it to use it. Also the room was very hot and we were unable to open the windows.
Food and staff were excellent.
Bathroom no towel rack and the shower needed a bit of work
Hotel accommodation very comfortable. Food very good. Staff very friendly.
Car park signage didn't mention free for residents so paid unnecessarily.
Comfortable and well-placed in the village.
Very tired decor and bathroom - needs a refurb.
I was looking for a quintessential British hotel experience. This was it. Hotel over a pub. Steep stairs. But lots of character. Continental breakfast. Free parking. Comfortable bed but scratchy sheets. The staff was friendly.
A bit shabby. Never had clean towels replaced during my stay. This was NOT their fault... but it was 93! Problem: no air conditioning! They did try to help by putting a tower cooling unit but it did not work! In fact it simply turned the room into into a steam bath. It literally fogged up the windows. When I mentioned it supposedly someone came to look at it but it never put out any cool air at all!
The staff was always very friendly and helpful. Location was nice because it had small shops nearby.
Poor ventilation in the room. During summer months, it's very uncomfortable to spend the night, a fan was provided but it barely blew air, it really didn't cool the room. The only two windows we could open were the bathroom and room but only a little bit of it because they both had locks.
Breakfast and location were both great
No TV
Location and Sunday evening meal good value
Room had dripping shower, no plug hole for shave !Room hot and had to use loo roll to wedge open window for fresh air.
Breakfast was good but room was really run down and in need of decorating. Floor boards creeking all over the hotel
Pillows were rock hard
Lovely staff, large room and very good location
Room needed updating
Choice of beverages and location
The room was so outdated. Carpet worn, paint peeling off walls and plug did not fit the bath
Kelly on reception was welcoming. Staff were friendly. Breakfast was ample. Previous reviews seemed to downrate the ensuite bathroom for having no window, but honestly, it's not a problem!
Good location & friendly staff
Dirty laundry left in room. Tired decor. Hairs on bathroom floor. Shower gel dispenser in shower empty.Heating stuck on full with broken thermostat and unable to open window more than a couple of inches meant that room was far too hot to sleep in.
This was without doubt the worst hotel room I have ever stayed in. Dirty and in very poor repair, it was more akin to a doss house.
Whilst the lady on reception was as helpful as she could be, the place is in an abysmal state of repair and cleanliness. It ought to be closed for a complete renovation immediately. Neither I nor my fiancee have ever stayed in somewhere so disgusting. I will be taking this up with Greene King, which used to be a well managed decent company. Clearly not any more. Disgraceful.
Breakfast and location
The state of the bedroom and hallway carpets discussing
Staff are amazing especially the receptionists. Room was nice and big Food is great
Bed not very comfortable
Fantastic location at centre of Westerham & very friendly, welcoming staff
Desperately in need of decorating & refurb. Paint peeling, carpets threadbare & grubby looking, bathroom grout dirty & shower rail ready to fall down
