The Dog & Bear Hotel

Nice clean room, friendly staff, and breakfast was great. Bathroom was a bit tired, but otherwise a nice hotel.

An amazing place with really good quality furniture fixtures and fittings let down unfortunately by not being very clean. Sink was dirty. The fan unit in the bathroom looked like it hadn’t been cleaned for literally years. At night with the lights on you could see thick dust on the wall paper and curtains. What a shame, lovely old building that’s clearly had lots spent on it but not maintained.

The room was freezing cold on arrival and didn't really heat up very much at all using the radiator which was there, which I turned onto full as soon as I arrived. Cleanliness was average but the room was a 'little tired' and would benefit from new carpet and some re-touching of the paintwork etc. The bathroom was average but really needs some re-design as quite dated with some DIY looking fixings in places. The hot water took a long time to come through, which was frustrating as it meant a lot of wasted water to get it to come through warm. The meal was fine, but definitely nothing to write home about. Given the prices, it should have been better to reflect not only better value but other similar restaurants. VERY disappointing to be served a chilled bottle of red wine, which completely ruined a £30 bottle of wine. You definitely need 3 course as the portions were small. The dessert was the best part. We were served by 4 different staff at the same table none of home wore a uniform or even a logo on the t-shirt, so identifying who was staff when I needed assistance was difficult. Overall, it was fine, but there are much better options available. This could be a fabulous experience as the hotel is located in a nice location. Hopefully, this feedback will help the hotel improve and reach it potential.

A nice characteristic hotel in the centre of the village. All Rooms were rustic but very comfortable. The only minor issue was the menu in the restaurant which was quite limited and expensive, but what we had was very nice. The staff were extremely friendly.

What a great place to stay everything available and staff were fantastic

It was a brilliant stay,friendly staff, reallylovely breakfast.

The hotel is set in a really nice Kent village, the room was clean and comfortable. The food in the restaurant was generally very good, but there were just several small issues. - The car park appears to have had too many spaces crammed into it and so is extremely tight. - The TV remote control did not work even after changing batteries - The water temperature goes from ice to fire with virtually no in between - The shower was feeble - The scrambled eggs at breakfast time were so dry they looked more like loft insulation - Only one waiter at breakfast seemed too few Bizarrely though I still liked the hotel, it could just be so much better

Lovely traditional local village pub/hotel, rooms were very clean and comfortable. The pub is lovely and the locals are nice. Staff were all brilliant. the only complaint was the tv and remote need to be checked. I would highly recommend staying here and it is brilliant value for money.

Nice place Stopped three nights WFi not good in room TV limited channels working had a superior room for the price I would expect a lot better travel for a living and stopped in a lot of places better for a lot less
