Een gastvrij hotel met grote, compleet ingerichte kamer.

8.0

De gastvrijheid. De kamers waren groot en van alle gemakken voorzien. De prijzen waren zeer redelijk. Ik heb een prima verblijf gehad.

− De kamers waren wel aan wat onderhoud toe maar alles functioneerde.

We and Daisy dog received a great welcome. Very comfortable beds. Great breakfast. We have stayed many times which speaks for itself.

− Coffee maker didn’t work this time but good that there is one!

A good overnight stay in Lenham

9.0

The hotel is in the heart of Lenham. Staff were friendly and the breakfast was superb. Tea, coffee and biscuits in the rooms and ample free on-site parking. We took our fan from home for the room as we knew it would be warm due to the current weather. Room was clean as was the bathroom.
